This one nails the trumpet tone.
CHeck out around the 2 min mark.
Alex Frias on the forum here did this.
It's a jordan boss tone.

wow...that is so close to a trumpet.....crazy sound, but great...

never thought i'd like a trumpet guitar..it sounds like a synth though sometimes....but
one that actually tracks pretty well.....hmmm...more experimenting i think....

Hendrix was known to talk about getting a horn like sound quite a bit...

yeah. maybe it was all those years of playing in other bands and jazz/blues in the early days
that turned him onto it...

it does have a sound that can cut through thats for sure...with a little tweaking etc
im sure it could be quite good really...definately going to try it with a wah/envelope filter too..
should be mad..i reckon a subtle ef should do it...

[John Lyons]

I meant to say that he strived for that sound. Not that he had that sound.
Yeah, most likely because brass was a bigger part of music in his day.

Man and here I am trying to learn the trumpet like a sucker!  Sounds rad though, keep going with it, add more crazyness.

Doug - You shouldn't have posted that vid.  I want to build that t-bone trumpet thing like immediately!

I found this: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=70080.0

and this:  http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/MarkMs-Gallery/album15/album76/Jordan_Bosstone_LAYOUT.gif.html

Help me connect the dots? haha

[deadastronaut]

@doug.....woke up and put that pat metheny on with the sun streaming through...very nice tunes...

great to wake up to..

my cat liked it too...he didnt bug me for ages after listening to that (well chilled cat).....lol..


i tried it out yesterday with the envelope filter after it......hmmmm sounds strange..but good...

think i finally found a use for a built vero (nurse quacky) that didnt work to well on its own...and has just sat on top of my bench

since building..it boosted the signal into it and the quackiness works like a charm now....great.

trumpet/wah clip coming soon....lol...

[Hides-His-Eyes]

That sounds like a really cool combination dead-astro: clips are demanded!

[deadastronaut]

here we go then...first clip is normal trumpety sound..then with the envelope(quacky added)...

sounds sick....it seems to love the tremmy harmonics...gets a really mute trumpety squeel to it around 0:40..
of the normal clip....the madness continues...ha ha..

loses the trumpety sound a bit with the EF.....still fun to mess with though..enjoy.

[joegagan]

astronaut- i like these clips a lot. really cool sound. are you a fusion guitarist,? nice chops.

for extra fun, i played both the youtube clip and the later one simultaneously, the clips were jamming together.

[Hides-His-Eyes]

It's a really cool sound: has a touch of the Casiotone about it...

[birt]

maybe you could try to get the envelope of the clean note. i think it would give you more control

[DougH]

Very nice! I like the env filter sound too.

[deadastronaut]

hmmm..like putting the envelope first you mean?....yeah i'll have a go at that...makes sense...
