Blackat Ninja 8 demo through the KPA

FredtheShred · March 5, 2012 at 3:38 PM

Hello, guys!

Just got this lovely axe from my mate Tomek at Blackat Guitars, and here it is, with the KPA providing all the amp tones / effects. The song is a work in progress for my second album, called Roland's Last Stand (the medieval legend, not the electronics brand... ). I hope you guys enjoy!

VERY NICE!!

what profiles did you use? great playing

Cheers, mate.

I used a modified version of Ola's DV Mark patch, which has to be the most ridiculously versatile metal rhythm patch ever - easy to tweak to do whatever you want, in the distorted rhythm.

Taps and the more ethereal melody types are all my Nebula patch, which I did from a default RainHeart rig, lead melodies are done with a lead patch from my Silverblade tones (still tweaking these, hence the absence from the shared patches area), and the main lead is a rig I did from one of the default Roadking rigs, as it's quite close to the EQ I'd use on the amp itself.

WOW!!!! Just saw this!!!!
What an awesome tune!!!! Seriously... that was awesome! Loved the melodies, the themes... just superb!!!!

The tapping pattern has a great spacey vibe... almost retro-chiptunes-style... Super cool!!!

That has some real nice parts Fred i like it . That neck looks huge i wanna try an 8 string out myself. Did it take you much time getting used of the different neck dimensions ?

....looking at the banana you shouldn't have problem with "dimensions"...

Honestly, I don't think it takes that much to get used to an 8-string guitar - it's just adding a couple strings to the bottom end, and you stop playing them by mistake in no time if you just spend a little time adjusting to the new visual reference. As far as neck width itself is concerned, it's not an issue - it will require a nice left hand posture and you may notice you are pickier with the neck profile than you were before, but that is about it, really.
