Thanks! Yes, I’ve got a pedal board to display on the “My First Pedal Board” thread as well! I’m only up to one miracle a day though, and this video was it 
The real magic happens with my Walrus Audio Slö “Multi Texture Reverb” pedal, with a dash of my SolidGoldFX Athena “Vibraphase”.
It also goes through a Katana Mk2 guitar amp as well, on a fairly clean channel - and, ironically enough, I added another Amp+Cab Simulator in Ableton to give it what I’m going to call a “punchier feel”.
I kind of had the movie Natural Born Killers in my head, tying to sound like a mash up of something like Leonard Cohen/Waiting for the Miracle meets Duane Eddy/The Trembler

Amp/Cab Sims in Reaper are my favorite thing too. So good at giving you the sound of owning a big tube amp head.

OK, here is my entry. Nightfall is an original song I wrote several months ago: using a drum track, I wrote the verse/chorus bass parts. I sent it to the guitar player in my old timers band (Never Say Die), and he created the guitar to fit, and also wrote the bridge part. I would love to get ideas on things I can add or revise to make it better… so hopefully its something that Josh can use.

It’s giving me that sinister espionage/spy/surf type of vibe, which is awesome in my opinion 
Imagine it tailored to this

You’d love that band then - Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited, as every album has the same style. Check em out

@juli0r It’s sounding better! I love the feel of this tune. I can imagine myself around a campfire chanting or around a pub table.

@Alterationx10 love this one!
Has a somewhat nostalgic feel to it.
Like juli0r’s entry I can also imagine a scenario for this one. Preparing for a high noon duel on the main street, circa 1853

Wow, thanks everybody for your contributions! I’ll be digging into these shortly. I will probably use 5 max, maybe less, for this video, so not everyone will make it in.
I’ll be picking stuff based on whether I can find a good topic for constructive discussion, not based on how well/not well you did, so if I don’t pick your video please trust that it’s not merit-based or anything personal. 
I’ll let y’all know when this video comes out!

Until wednesday I was afraid we were letting you down but then came a stream of contributions.
I think everyone can understand that you can’t put every contribution into the video. At least I can. I am just glad you got enough source material for your video!
It was a good experience to do it anyway. I think recording is always good practice because you always try to be cleaner and can’t just tell yourself that you did well - others will see/hear it!
