I want to hear the result of the meow going through 2 distortion pedals, this must be epic !

Alright @Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world @Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com @Flax_vert@feddit.uk here we go. I picked up some of my cat Alaric's favourite treats so we could get that authentic "give me food" sound as I kept them away from him.

I went with a virtual amp instead of the actual pedals so that I could show the exact same clips with and without amplification. I tried replicating something like the two pedals that are visible, but I couldn't get it to work with the stuff that I already have so I just went ahead and dialed in a general death metal-ish tone of high drive distortion > Marshall JCM 900 with the mids scooped > a little tiny bit of reverb > a 4x12 cab. The clip has ten seconds of guitar recorded straight into the computer, the exact same guitar clip but with the amp turned on, then Alaric, and then the same clip of Alaric but amplified. Headphones warning, it is quite loud

Also a picture of the star vocalist, of course

New instrument discovered. Beautiful.

I have a cat, a mic, and pedals. I'll leave this comment as a reminder for myself to come back later once I'm done working and see if I can get the house-panther to do some vocals
