Re: kaki king?

Just a quick question.

 

I listened to some mp3 s of Kaki King. She has a beautiful tone and it seems she uses no mic, just the electric line out. Does anyone know what her setup is or how to get that tone from an ovation?

 

Thanks.

 

Best regards,

Hi all.....

 

I'm *new* around here, as I've (gasp....) lurked for a while :)

 

I saw Kaki King open for the Tony Levin Band a while back at the Bottom Line, and she basically just walked out on stage, chewing and snapping her gum, and then proceeded to blow us all away! I saw no loopers...she gets her layers from her excellent playing. At first, I thought she was a Crafty, but she used no pick...

 

Well, a little about me:

 

I've only been taking guitar lessons and playing for two years. Early lessons conflicted with night school obligations, but hey, I did it! Night school is done, degree in hand, time to turn my studies toward guitar :)

 

Here's my setup, so far:

Ibanez 6-string acoustic/electric, Ibanez 12-string acoustic, Fernandes Monterey Elite w/ Sustainer, Digitech RP-100 effects box, Boss CH-1 Super Chorus, Boss RC-20 looping station, all into a Fender Reverb Deluxe amplifier.

 

Sooooo, I basically use the looper to practice with by soloing over it, but I am also interested in getting more serious about looping, with percussion, etc layered in.

I think I have enough on my plate for now. My next pieces of equipment will be Line6 DL-4 and the Line6 Filter Modeler, perhaps the Boss octave pedal. These should open some doors for sounds, huh?

 

I enjoy reading everyone's posts, and I do believe that I will learn a thing or two. I especially like to go out and see live looping, so if anyone plays in and around NJ, please post to the digest, I'll be there :) !!
