Tec Breath & Bite Controller workout

Way Music went down for two days…Sorry about that! Now it is all refreshed since it got its REST 😉 I have been busy though, and just completed a video playlist demonstrating the Tec Breath and Bite Controller 2 and showing how to set it up. That will be the last BBC2 video for a month or so since I am having a tooth pulled and won’t be able to play the BBC2 until it heals.

A breathtakingly thorny bite

With a nod and a tilt to…

Finally getting around to giving my Christmas present a workout! I got a TEC Breath and Bite controller 2. Here I try it out for atmospherics on this almost ambient piece.

This is really fun. I can already control two things from my guitar by where I pick and by the MIDI volume knob. The breath and bite controller (hereafter just “breath controller”) adds four more very expressive controls, bite, breath, tilt, and nod.

ProFET Distortion wins 2018 KVR Developer Challenge

proFETPro FET by Ignite Amps

Distortion modeling of a hardware pedal made by Ignite.

ProFET, Ignite Amp’s entry in the 2018 KVR Developer Challenge, gets a six-minute Digital Guitarist workout. It was the first place winner in the contest.

  • Drop it in front of a clean guitar amp for instant metal tones.
  • Professional GUI.
  • Easy on the CPU.
  • Nice sounding distortion made for a particular genre’s tone.

Within that limited frame, ProFET provides nice tone shaping with a 4-band EQ and some nuance on the transients with the “shape” switch.

There are a ton of different free and paid distortions, each with its own personality. I’ll do some more vids on them probably. Try out the demos and freebies and pick the one that suits your ears best. This is a good one if it fits your style.
