(Cover) Crazy Horses by The Osmonds

Merry Christmas to you all! I felt I should release something funny and with anxiety in my mind I decided to pick this cover that recorded a couple of years ago… This is a cover of a song that I first discovered covered by Tank, and maybe that’s why I like it so much? Still I think the original that is done by The Osmonds is a good song but the original video is really, erhm, silly. Not that mine is much better!

We used to play Crazy Horses as a cover back in the day, in a heavy version, so one day in 2018 I decided (for whatever reason!) to record it. Then, once it was recorded I thought to myself… maybe I should try doing the vocals? Mind you, I have not recorded my singing voice since the early 90’s. I was so-so satisfied by the result but as most of the people I have played for (a small selection of folks) seemed to think it was quite OK – why not? This’ll be my xmas video for you guys, hope you will like it!

Grindmachine by Audio Assault (Review / Sound demo)

A closer look at the VST amp sim Grindmachine from Audio Assault! I stumbled across an ad on Facebook where I saw this for sale – only 3.99 USD. That’s worth a try, I thought to myself and how right was I!

Grindmachine comes with 15 different amps and 22 different cabs, it’s available for both Windows and Mac (in both 32 and 64 bits versions!). I’d say if you are looking for soft nice sounds… just forget about it. This is fist-to-your-face-hard metal high-gain stuff! And it sounds good!!

For those who wonders how it was recorded… Guitar > Sound card > Reaper. Screen capture by OBS studio.

That’s it! Hope you’ll like the video and subscribe if you wanna support Have Guitars future video’s! A special, big and fat Thanks to all you who subscribes!!

PVY 6505 Plus by Countryside Profiles (Kemper profiles demo)

Time to feature a new profiler so here is the PVY 6505 Plus Kemper profile pack from Contryside Profiles! These profiles recreates the sound from a Peavey 6505+ combo and we’re talking heavy gain stuff here…

All the profiles in this pack are direct profiles but they come loaded with a cab (ORNG 412 IR which presumably is an Orange 4×12 cab). Some nice pedals have been used for some of the profiles as well: Fort 33, Fort Blade, Hrzn Devices P-Drive and TS808.

I had great fun trying these out and I hope you’ll like this demo. If you wanna support Have Guitar – feel free to click the subscription link provided below. An astronomical Big Thanks to all you who do subscribe!!

Dummble Pack by Top Jimi (Kemper profiles demo)

Rig Showcase by Have Guitar!

Here’s a demo of the Dummble Pack from Top Jimi – it’s a great pack of tones here according to my opinion and taste! It’s a big pack with over 100 profiles and it’s not very expensive.

So, Dummble you say? Seems there’s a lot of various Dumble sounds floating around. And I guess that isn’t surprising considering a used Dumble amp can cost way over 100 000 USD!! So these profiles comes from a Ceriatone Overtone Special (100 watts), and that should be a ‘clone’ of an original Dumble amp (and a lot cheaper by that!).

Clone may sound a bit degrading, I don’t really care because it sounds great! Rich tones, great gain sound and various styles of sound is what this pack from Top Jimi will get ya and I hope my demo shows that. Me? I really digg this pack, it is a keeper for sure!!

This profile pack contains both studio as well as merged profiles, profiled with three different speakers; 12″ Celestion Vintage 30, 1970 12″ Celestion 25W Greenback and 1967 12″ Celestion 20W Greenback.

DP Durple by Tone City (pedal review – demo – showcase)

Pedal Frenzy by Have Guitar!

Here’s a new guitar overdrive pedal from Tone City – DP Durple! So it is not a signature pedal but it’s collaboratively designed by Tone City and “Danish Pete” from Andertons. The DP Durple is based on Tone City Mandragora OD but modified to suit Danish Pete’s tonal taste.

So the Tone City Mandragora is based on the Kalamazoo Love Drive and the DP Durple is as said based on the Mandragora, with some modifications. The Mandragora’s ‘Pre’ (presence) has been replaced by a ‘Mid’ control that let’s you cut or boost the amount of mid-range. The ‘Tone’ control has been adjusted to be less bright, offering a more moderate amount of treble so it’s not too shrill at the higher settings.

Otherwise it’s a small but sturdy analogue pedal; metal casing and true bypass. The dimensions are 4.2 x 5.2 x 9.3 cm and it needs a 9VDC power supply, no battery compartment. The controls are gain, volume, mid and tone.

Thanks for watching Have Guitar – hope you liked this video! If you wanna support the channel – subscribe! A very Big Thanks to my subscribers as always!!

West Avalon by Mattfig (Kemper profiles demo)

Rig Showcase by Have Guitar!

Time for Have Guitar Rig Showcase #2:20 and here’s a rare beast profiled; West Laboratories Amplifiers Avalon by Mattfig! This pack packs some serious vintage raw power and brings 131 profiles (both studio and direct).

So what about the amp behind this sound? Well, it’s West Amps and it’s kinda hard finding much information about them. These amps were built by David West and made their clame to fame by being used by Grand Funk Railroad (on their first four albums).

West stopped making these amps full-time at the end of the 70’s and by the end of the 80’s he closed business to go on other ventures. Or did he? I have found other sources that states he left the business already in 1972 and that reissues of the classic West amps were launched around 2013. I don’t know which of the above is true, the information is scarce…

Anyways, this pack recreates the sound from a West Avalon amp, 50 watts and I would say it covers all lot of ground… nice warm cleans up to quite heavy (pedal boosted) tones.

There we go! Hope you enjoyed this video, if you wanna support my channel please subscribe! Thanks to all of you who already do!

Top 5 2019 Kemper profile packs! (Kemper profiles demo)

Top 5 by Have Guitar!

Another year passed and here is my top 5 list of the packs that I have demoed during 2019! It was not an easy task to pick out only 5 of the 40 something packs that I have had the pleasure of testing. It’s a dirty job but someones gotta do it! I have taken all sorts of things into consideration when chosing the five; number of profiles, tweaking of the original amp, sound, feel, effects, price and so on. In the end it’s my own experience from the packs that counts, how fun was it to play? How inspirational were the tones?

So thanks again for the year that has passed, hope you’ll keep following Have Guitar for 2020 as well! For 2020 I’m planning on doing even more varied videos and I would to do some more practicing and recording of songs. If I will have the time for that, time will tell. I’ve also been thinking on doing some album reviews – starting on the Have Guitar Facebook page but maybe and just maybe that could be something to do in video format as well? We’ll see…

Wishing you all a fantastic 2020 and again thanks for the subs, the views and your comments!

KSR Juno by ReampZone (Kemper profiles demo)

Rig Showcase by Have Guitar!

I hope you had a great new years eve – this video is the first one of 2020 and well, I just thought it would be nice to publish one of the first day of the new year! Another thing that is nice – it’s a new pack from ReampZone, yay! Only direct profiles so far but no doubt this will be updated with studio profiles during the coming months.

The KSR webpage doesn’t really more than “Dual channel, 100W or 50W, configurable gain & response guitar amplifier.” about this amp. But considering it’s price, you probably know what you want if you buy one. Anyways, they have some demo videos of the real deal at their webpage so check out the link below if you wanna have a look and listen to it!

Also coming tomorrow – my top five picks of Kemper profile packs that I have demoed during 2019. And that’s it for this description! I hope you like the demo and if you do feel free to support Have Guitar with your subscription! And new fresh 2020-Thanks to all You who do sub!!

Ladoka Mr. Hacktor MK2 by Deadlight Studio (Kemper profiles demo)

Rig Showcase by Have Guitar!

Been a lil’ while since I did a real high gain pack so here we go: Ladoka Mr. Hacktor MK2 from Deadlight Studios! That name cracks me up everytime I see and of course; these profiles seeks to recreate the sound from a Laboga Mr. Hector MK2 amplifier.

Did I say high gain? Well, Deadlight Studios didn’t even bother to boost the profiles with a any pedals and from the gain levels achivied by the amp on its own, I understand why! Must say I had loads of fun trying this pack out, extreme gain and 101 % sustain could put a smile on my face any day!

I’m sorry but I could not find very much information about the MK2-model, seems Laboga is currently selling Mr Hector MK4 (have a look at their webpage if you’re interested, link provided below). But well, it’s an amplifier made for metal used by bands like; Napalm Death, Within Temptation and Behemoth.

And there we go, hope you liked the demo – if you wanna support Have Guitar, subscribe! A very Big Thank You to all you who already do!
