Humbly Submitting DLite Vids for Viewing........

Post by Heater »

Hey All,

I've been on this board for quite awhile and while I don't post much, I've learned tons.

Early last year, I built a DLite and I've been gigging and recording with it since. Here's a few videos of a live show where I used a DLite with a little delay/modulation thrown in on a tune.

Most everything here is DLite with EV 12" open back and CAD Triton ribbon right up close, slightly off axis. My playing is certainly not in the traditional Robben Ford/Larry Carlton vein, but the DLite suits me well for this application and I really appreciate the tones and vibe that I get playing it with different guitars. In the vids, I use a G&L ASAT Classic Custom and Legacy as well as a Heritage 335.

Thanks to everyone for your knowledge and help! As we all know, I couldn't have gone to the local GC and bought an amp with this tone.....

Howdy Dogears! Thanks for the nice words.

Yep, it's a promo shoot. Actually the singer/songwriter is my wife. We've been "playing" together since 1995, and married since 1997. :lol:

She (we) is chasing her dream. It's been temporarily put on hold........we're expecting our second child tomorrow! We'll be back at it in a couple of months.

I should probably point you guys toward "Living your Life" for the most Dumble-inspired sounds. The other songs are a little less what may be expected of the DLite sound. "Ready to Forgive" has no guitar.....just a heads-up.

Thanks!
Chris

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your time and opinions. Like many of you, I tend to lean toward guitar-driven music so Shawni's (my wife) tunes are a bit of a stretch for me musically. She's really a talented singer/songrwriter/musician but I fear that her songs fall into the dreaded "Adult Contemporary" classification and are therefore pretty commercially irrelevant.

We've got a great local audience however, we're trying to do some modest promotion to book some theater-type gigs like this one-hence the video.

If you guys have any further suggestions or comments, please let me know!

Thanks all!
Chris

Chris - Nice grooves and the tone is a d'lite - complements the tunes well.

Well played/sung and the trombone gives a distinguishing quality to the mix.

I'm guessing the new rig was a nice kick-along in the tone stakes.

All in all a Peak System :wink:
