More Darkglass B3K (now with Ruins' "Hard Rock Medley")

Hi! Well, not so much to say this time since you can read the relevant details direct from the video. The only extra remark I have is that, as you may guess, I'm playing on top of the bass track recorded by Sasaki Hisashi (Ruins' bassist). Since I didn't want the B3K tone to be "masked", I tried to set the backing recording to the lowest possible volume without the drums getting completely buried by my performance. So there's the original bass track along with mine, but I don't think the B3K sound (which is what I want to show) isn't clear and loud enough. You must listen VERY carefully if you want to hear the original bass track. Hope you enjoy this demonstration.

P.S.: EXCERPTS LIST

Well, the truth is that I know the vast majority of these riffs, but some of them I never heard before. That's why the following list is basically a copy/paste from another video (I added performers and time marks).

1. Detroit Rock City (Kiss) 0:33
2. Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath) 0:43
3. Fire (Jimi Hendrix) 0:50
4. Draw The Line (Aerosmith) 0:55
5. Sunshine Of Your Love (Cream) 1:04
6. 25 Or 6 To 4 (Chicago) 1:13
7. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Black Sabbath) 1:20
8. July Morning (Uriah Heep) 1:27
9. School's Out (Alice Cooper) 1:32
10. Born To Be Wild (Steppenwolf) 1:35
11. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (The Rolling Stones) 1:38
12. Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo (Johnny Winter/Rick Derringer) 1:41
13. Wishing Well (Free) 1:46
14. We're An American Band (Grand Funk Railroad) 1:51
15. Introduction (??? - Introduction to what? No idea) 1:57
16. Whole Lotta Love (Led Zeppelin) 2:00
17. Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin) 2:06
18. Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin) 2:11
19. Led Boots (Jeff Beck) 2:15
20. Scatterbrain (Jeff Beck) 2:22
21. Speed King (Deep Purple) 2:26
22. Burn (Deep Purple) 2:31
23. Kill The King (Rainbow) 2:35
24. Iron Man (Black Sabbath) 2:39
25. Train Kept A-Rollin' (The Yardbirds, Aerosmith and many others) 2:46
26. More Than A Feeling (Boston - In all honesty, I don't recognize this version of my all-time favorite power ballad) 2:51
27. Smoke On The Water (Deep Purple) 2:56

P.S. #2: Phew! I'm alleviated now. I knew that #26 couldn't be "More Than A Feeling". Once again, my friend Chris Cook has pointed me in the right direction: #26 is Boston's "Don't Look Back", a song that I had forgotten ( and I own the album :^S ). Thank you one more time, Chris!

Me encanta el sonido Alva, nunca me decepsionas con tus videos!

Cheers, Jero!

@JeroB666: Aprecio tu amabilidad. Mil y mil gracias. :^)

Great job, Alva! that pedal is sick! I'm getting thr B7K soon, and I'll be testing it out for a week or so before shooting a vid like you did. The B7K just has more tone choices, so it needs more time to get it right.

It seems alot of people are trying them out. Do you find the B3K amazing among other distortion/overdrive pedals?

[Alvabass]

@lasteffect: Hey man, thank you for your comment! The thing is, I had never been seriously into effects and the B3K planted an "effects obsession" inside me! I always wanted a great distortion and the rave reviews that the B3K has gotten made me pull the trigger. But I haven't used many distortion pedals before. Just my Zoom B2.1u and a Big Muff that a friend borrowed me once. (continued...)

[Alvabass]

@lasteffect: I liked the BM, but the B3K is a lot better for my taste. No doubt there are still lots of great stuff to try, but I'm in love with this pedal.

[SgtZaqq]

That's great! But how about a list with original songs? Because I recognize many riffs, but I don't know every band I hear.

[Alvabass]

@SgtZaqq: List added to the video description. Thank you for your comment!
