Yet another thing I recorded in Photo Booth - this time, the string noise is pretty extreme, but I think that the character of the sound did show through. Once again, sorry for the repetitive playing - I'm really just doing this to show Bardens in a Parker! I love these pickups.
I DO NOT SUGGEST TRYING TO INSTALL BARDENS IN A PARKER YOURSELF. Get a tech to do it - if you're in SoCal, I can do it for you. There is routing involved, and the pickups are quite delicate (and expensive), taking special consideration when installing.
Most of the overdrive was the amp - all of the heavy stuff, much of the other. I did use the Hot Cake for a little bit - see if you can spot it - into the clean channel, and also as a boost into the dirty channel. The flange sounds were a Hartman Flanger. The delays were the MLjr on the clean channel, and the M13 "Modulated Analog" on the dirty sounds. The 'verb was either the amp or the M13 - you can see when I turn on and off the amp's spring verb.
The rig was as follows:
Parker DF824 w/Barden Two/Tone / S-Deluxe / S-Deluxe-
Dunlop Volume Pedal-
TurboTuner-
Diamond Marquis boost-
Diamond Fireburst Fuzz-
Crowther Prunes & Custard-
Crowther HotCake (BB, Bass mode)-
Hartman Analog Flanger-
Empress Phaser-
Diamond Tremolo-
Diamond ML Jr-
Fryette Memphis 1x12 Combo (stock), High input
Line 6 M13 in the series loop, lo setting.
I use a Divine Noise coily cable to the board, soldered Lava Mini-ELC on the board, and an Evidence Lyric HG to the amp. Dimarzio cables (what I had lying around) in the [buffered] loop. Ernie Ball Super Slinky RPS on the Parker, and a V-Picks glow-in-the-dark "Screamer" pick.
