From EAE, The Bard is a unique and (very) fun drive that editorializes the Music Man HD130—an interesting '70s/'80s amp with a solid state preamp and tube power amp. The result is a pristine clean sound that isn't quite like your typical “vintage tube“ cleans, and a rough, trashy drive sound that is absolutely and unapologetically not tube-like. Better to just listen, because it has some of the coolest sounds I've been able to record in a while—check it out! **Big thanks to EAE for sending this pedal over** *// ELSEWHERE* Tabs for this intro riff & more on Patreon: Instagram: Bandcamp: Spotify: *// FREE IMPULSE RESPONSES* All guitars recorded direct, with my own custom IRs of my Avatar 2x12 cab with Celestion Creamback/Greenback speakers.
