Vid clip on low-volume overdrive sound 

Vid clip on low-volume overdrive sound

I played in the basement in front of my vid cam 'coz it happened to be
there. and now edited a few bits of it into a short example of how my
amp/cab approximately sounds on quite a low volume...and I've been raving
about how I like them tiny wattage amps...so hopefully this gives some idea
of what I like in a sound.

You can hear the amp is pretty low. since even my plectrum hits can be heard
over the sound. Yet I think it sounds 'loud' and even feedbacks nicely and
everything.

The cam's crap mike also did an acceptable job of the sound I think. but you
just have to trust me on that it really doesn't sound that 'buzzy' or even
quite that driven in reality. but rather it has a wee bit more 'bell' like
roundness to it. Perhaps I should have placed the cam a little off axis to
speaker. I guess the mic exaggerates some of the drive. and then also the
plectrum hit sizzle adds a confusing factor.

There's no FX or pedals or anything used. or volume adjusts. all sound
changes are just changes in playing style and how hard the strings are
hit/twisting the neck for some string bending etc. In the very beginning
there's almost clean playing. for that you really have to just about think
of picking the strings. otherwise the rig only does driven and even more
driven sounds.

How do you find the sound? Plz don't comment on my clumsy riffs. I was just
chomping away not playing anything really :-)
