Xotic BB Preamp Part 2 - Les Paul
Published: September 13th, 2009
www.ProGuitarShop.com- The Xotic BB Preamp offers a wide variety of guitar tones. It’s capable of +30dB of clean boost thanks to the pre-gain stage which can take the Xotic BB Preamp from transparent sparkling boost to creamy overdrive. With an adjustable ±15dB two band active EQ, you can boost or cut both Bass and Treble which adds a wide range of harmonic content to your tone. The Gain is capable of adding just a pinch of overdrive or blasting into chunky hi-gain bliss! As with all Xotic pedals, True bypass is standard for eliminating any signal interference when it is switched out. Check out the hand wired, U.S.A. made Xotic Preamp Today!
The Xotic BB Preamp delivers crunch tones that will hit you in the gut like a baseball bat. The tones are definitely a derivative of the classic Marshall grind. Vintage Blues Breaker tones ooze out of this Xotic pedal. The extremely versatile bass and treble control give you added control, making any of the exotic pedals compatible with a variety of guitars and amplifiers. I think this pedal is the most versatile of the three. You can get anywhere from a mild boost, early Clapton tones, to AC/DC rock. The BB Preamp works very well with the RC Booster. The two are a match made in heaven. Between the two you can nail down all of your overdrive / distortion needs with a clean boost in the RC, a crunch tone with just the BB, and lead tones by combining the two. Aahhhh…. tonal bliss.
The Xotic BB Preamp will stay on the down-low, but you really have to work to keep it in it’s cage. As soon as the gain gets past 12 o’clock, you will experience rich, crunchy rhythm tones and leads that will make your mouth water. The BB Preamp boasts some of the best string separation in a higher gain pedal. Take the gain to the top and bust out an open A minor chord, you can hear every string and every vibration coming from your pickups. Throw down a palm and it will chunk out with the best of ‘em. Lower gain settings yield a rich, complex overdrive that clean up nicely when you back off the guitar’s volume. The BB Preamp really does it all. All the controls are smooth and even through the entire sweep. The tone circuit adds dimension and character to any style of playing without losing the base tone of your amplifier and the true-bypass switch takes it all the way out of the loop when switched off (more)

“Nola,” three-guitar Les Paul arrangement
Published: September 11th, 2009
“Nola” was composed as a ragtime piano piece in 1915 by Felix Arndt. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amMz6AAKE4Q for a version of Liberace performing the piece on piano in 1969.
The arrangement I recorded here, though, is the one by Les Paul — see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzf7Ux9Q6iQ for the classic 1950s recording. Les Paul recorded the high-pitched lead guitar part by speeding up and slowing down the tape, so I used the same effect here. The lead guitar was recorded at half time and sped up 200% to give it that classic Les Paul sound. (The other guitar tracks were recorded in real-tempo, with no speeding.)
NOTE: For some reason the lead guitar video freezes toward the end of the clip. I believe this is due to a bug in Final Cut Express — couldn’t figure out why it was happening.
