What preset did u use on the ux2 to get that sound loved it plz help

@joseg1022

I didn't use the presets..try picking something close to a fender twin, then add reverb and a lil' digital delay. You might have to tweak it a bit until you get the sound you want.

Really great! But I was hoping for the long version.

@marccomptois0913

Thanks so much! I'm not sure which long version? This version is the exact length of the original Album song.

[marccomptois0913]

@adameater It doesn't look like it's still available. You might be able to track down a used copy, although no true Smiths fan would ever give one up. They would have to pry mine from my cold dead hands!

Thanks for refreshing my memory, I know exactly which one your talking about, I actually used to have a copy of it myself. It had a "naked" bass line I believe and limited or no vocals if I remember right.  I'm sure, somewhere buried in my music collection I have it. However, I just had the mp3, not the original with Wonderful Woman..That would be a great find.

@adameater Keep up the good work thnxs

Probably the best cover of this song that I've ever heard so far... The similarity to Morrissey's voice is uncanny!

[Cubist47]

Good Effort, it's so hard to give these (smiths) songs justice. You have done it!

[marccomptois0913]

@adameater I guess I'm referring to the original 12 inch single (boy am I dated!). It was 5:33. It had an instrumental break that included a bass solo, an extra verse, and an extended outro. And it had lots more reverb on the guitar. I have a CD called This Charming Man Remixes on Sire/Reprise 9 40583-2. It has all 7 versions including that one, a 4 minute instumental version, and the B side Wonderful Women.
