U2 Walk On ZT lunchbox test

Tele with Fitertrons /M13/ZT lunchbox. Drums are bad I simply cant play like larry with all the nuances ect..Basic beats only for me :). The ZT sounds great. Its sort of thin but I was going for the Walk on on The U27 cd which is different. I think he used a Gretsch on that version (my fav)

great little clip as always mick. considering your not a drummer,you do a decent larry.

do you ever use a click when your doing your backing tracks?.....

[mick3b1g]

@rix29 yes all the time I start with a click then play an acoustic for a base track then build from there deleting the click and base track when done

@mick3b1g

right,...i wondered if you used a click when your recording the drums.

im a drummer myself,and our guitarist uses a lot of delay. i use a click a lot of the time with him,so we are both locked in....his timing is a bit off sometimes,but i cant get the blame..lol.

@rix29 cool yes when it comes to Edge and delay you need to play in time with the delay so what i do is choose a bpm in this case its 103bpm. I play the click at 103 and play drums Knowing the song is 103bpm I know that a delay time of 437ms will be dotted 1/8 or if it calls for 1/4 note then it would be 582ms. then it all comes together. Listen to early live U2 and you can hear Larry and Edge finding each other. A good ex is Wire live

Outstanding, both an inspiration and frustration for the rest of us as normal! Interested in the ZT but I have a couple of questions. 1. To record with them and practice with adequate cranked tone at home are they too loud in most situations, I think they have a master vol and a gain so maybe the master vol can be lowered while still getting some decent gain? and 2. I've not seen you use actual pedals with the ZT, do they respond better to sims from AxeFX/M13 rather than stomps? Thx

@muggle911 btw Thanks for the comments :)

[coolkid2446]

How long did it take you to be this good?

[kautzy1]

hm, I never considered "walk on" one of the better u2 songs but thanks to your (awesome) recording, i gave it a second chance and guess what - i like it! :)

thats one of the cool things about u2, you can listen the songs over and over and still discover something new from time to time ;)

[whisperingvenus]

Hey Mick,

Unreal as usual - re the M13 would you be prepared to take a screen shot of your delays and verb as try as I might I can't get anywhere near your sound!!

Cheers Harmsworth
