Barber Electronics forum.

I thought we had a few guys in the past that would post every little thing they tracked..

Now that we have an area to show some stuff.. Not many are jumping in.

The grump has spoken!

Not loud enough I take it

Thanks for letting me join this fantastic family of Barber Electronics builders & users. I've been playing for over 30 years and have used every type of gear on the market. But, I must say BARBER ROCKS!!! I use a small Fry for my main tone and add another dist. box after it. But the 'other' pedal I won't mention any name brands (vox saturator-lol) ....although being a good product- Doesn't even come close to Barber stuff. Vox is out and I think the 'Dirty Bomb' will be added to my board.

anyway- I wanted to post some music here (hear my small fry in action)

Thanks Dave Barber & Ronni !!!

Nice smooth stuff. Kind of lounge with an edge.

"Kind of lounge", say like rock n roll lounge. Not Rat Pack lounge. I'm listening to your covers now and see why you were a little surprised by my comment. I initially only listened to the originals or what I believed to be so, the last 3 songs. I don't care for covers, original stuff tells me who you are.
As for lounge sound, sometimes before my band plays, we will do an instumental killing some time til the starting time. We don't want to be loud or noticed, so I instruct the guys to play lounge like. might do a well known cover, but with a different feel.

Yeah....I can see how one could listen to the last three tracks and come to that conclusion. Actually, the last four tracks were created for Groudmin Entertainment and Sony Music for a documentary on PBS back in 2003. It's a powerful and very well made documentary about "Dreams". (I plan to find & post the right link for the film in the near future)

About the covers - I was asked by Retrospect Records to do an instrumental collection of my personal favorite guitarists of the late 60s, 70s (Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, SRV, Gary Moore, Clapton...etc) for a CD that they were planning for release. Sort of a personal "TRIBUTE" with a twist. Not sure of the details on this project at this time. I have some other Rocker Guitar releases on their label.
As a 'old touring road dog' (w/Buddy Miles Band and Riki Hendrix Band) and for the last 12 years, a session guitarist for hundreds of recorded tracks for film and tv & jingles- it's a bit hard to put a label on it....imo.
I suppose I need to update the music on that link.

Anyway- Barber Electronics are outstanding!!! -

As for the topic title, I really don't have anything recorded with Barbers on it. I've pretty much only been playin live the last few years, and that's why I got a barber collection. You really can't do much better for live sound. I'm having so much fun playin live with these pedals.
