Freddie Cowan - The Vaccines
These eight patches from guitarist Freddie Cowan of The Vaccines are inspired from their album tracks and his live rig, carefully recreated on the BOSS GT-100 for you to download.
Live Set
1Want You So Bad Delay A fast digital delay sound with a long feedback designed to fill out the guitar sound without resorting to heavier distortion or reverb taken from the recording of the track 'Want you so bad'
2I Always Knew VibratoA clean smooth vibrato sound created in search of replicating the original BOSS VB-2 used for the track 'I Always Knew' from the album 'Come of Age'.
3If You WannaA live patch to replicate the sound of three guitars played in different octaves on the original recording of 'If You Wanna'. It comprises of octave up, octave down and a reflective delay to give a very full sound.
4Handsome SlapbackThis patch is from the song Handsome and is a bright, modernised slap back echo sound from the famous Space Echo with some added octave
5Melody C ReverbThis is a nice simple clean sound with reverb and a touch of mellow delay to make the sound less jangly from the hit song 'Melody Calling'
6Blow It UpA 'chaotic' patch used during live performances of the track 'Blow It Up'. It is a heavily effected patch used in conjunction with the volume pedal that incorporates fuzz, reverb and a deep tremolo
7Post BUP ReverbA real signature 'The Vaccines' guitar sound from the hit single 'Post Break Up Sex', simple and effective with lots of reverb.
8Bad Mood Fuzz DThe lead guitar sound from the track 'Bad Mood', a long delay with fuzzy distortion for a nice sustained sound.
*This live set was created with GT-100.
*These patches reproduce each sound as described above, but not perfectly reproduce the originals.
