TheBreakneck Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 No link to preset, no actual demonstration of you playing here. Just a lot of horn-tootin. Wait, are you accusing me of being a fraud? Because I'll have you know there is no greater compliment than that when it comes to replicating famous tones.

jbuhajla Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 .... which you show no evidence of having done...... In the original post, I think he overlaid his guitar track over the Synchronicity tune. It sounds similar to the original track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBreakneck Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 In the original post, I think he overlaid his guitar track over the Synchronicity tune. It sounds similar to the original track. Almost. I actually did it over the original backing track. You won't hear Andy's guitar on it since that can conflict with my attempt and give a false impression of how close I got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBreakneck Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Oh man, this thread delivers! Comedy gold! Let me give you a link to the exact isolated guitar track he used in that clip. It is the original from the record played by the great Andy Summers. Poor editing skills also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graemey Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Listening to the isolated track above, it's clear that the recording was tracked all over the place. The original post at the begining is not that impressive tone wise. It sounds nothing like Andy Summers. Anyway, this song (Great as it is!) does not demonstrate the classic early Police guitar tone. Anyone with single coils and a clean amp can add a compressor, Electric Mistress and analog delay to get REALLY close to Summers' sound. It's the flanger that is the secret. Sadly the Helix Electric Mistress is terrible, making it difficult to copy Andy's tone convincingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the multiple guitar tracks on the original recording as you correctly point out, my recording is as close as it will ever get.

brue58ski Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 This is the same OP guy from the last Andy Summers thread. This thread was his first post and the attitude is pretty much the same. His profile is the same. The video is the same. The Andy Summers is the last thread you posted under itslash and this is the first thing you've posted under TheBreakneck. You're busted and not very clever. As your last Andy Summers thread proved. Deny it all you want (and you will), I know that's who you are. You could have at least put some false info into your profile. By the way, your tone is further away than the ones offered on your last Andy Summers thread itsslash, TheBreakneck or whatever other name you want to use.

cruisinon2 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Because we are still here. I bet if no one replies he'll go away Correct. The only solution is to not engage him, or post in this thread at all (this'll be my last one), even if addressing someone else. Otherwise it'll never end, because you're giving him exactly what he wants: attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
