#pipedreamcc

Good news friends. Seeing as we now have the tapes (which will be on our big cartel in the hour) We’ve now put April showers up for pay what you want download!

First up we have everyones favourite bassist, Josh BT. This is for anyone that has ever wondered how South Wales’ Pipedream have such a beefy live sound for a three piece. Check out their new two track record “April Showers” on bandcamp. www.facebook.com/pipedreamcc www.pipedreamcc.bandcamp.com

Hi my name is Josh or BT and I play bass in the bands Pipedream and Question the mark. I’ve also filled in for Forrest. and Deadlines.

Currently on my board I have (in signal chain order)

Electro harmonix big bass muff pi Boss TU-2 tuner Little bear RATtack Bespeco VM14 volume pedal TC Electronic ditto looper Tech 21 Sansamp BDDI Soundlab pedal power 450

My bass muff and RATtack pedals are for the overdriven sections in pipe dream songs. Because we’re only a 3 piece sometimes there can be quite a lot of space sonically so overdrive just helps fill out the sound a little. At the moment i’m only using the bass muff because the RATtack is a new pedal i’ve got and i’m still trying to fiddle with it and get a good sound from it.

I send the dry out of the muff into my tuner because the output section of my tuner doesn’t work. I’m also working on the theory that it’ll make the signal chain a bit less noisy if its on directly in it. The output section breaking is also the reason for the volume pedal. It means i can still tune silently.

The ditto looper is a pretty new pedal as well but i’m gonna get rid of it soon. It’s a cool pedal but its not what i need. I’m hoping to swap it for a jam man solo so we can add samples into our live shows.

The sansamp i use as my preamp. Its the first pedal i bought and its probably the best pedal i’ve ever bought. It makes a sound engineers job a breeze and sounds great.

COUPLE THINGS

The second NEW SONG, which is due to be released on tape by What We Should Be Doing, is now on the bandcamp. ~fresh~

Both songs for the tape are now mixed and mastered. Pre-orders hopefully wont be far away. We will be having a release show for it sometime soon as well. One song is also going to be featuring on something pretty awesome. And we'll have sweet shirts. Believe.

It’s been a while since we released any new music, due to some uncontrollable circumstances throughout the past year.

However, we’re very happy to announce that we will be putting out a two-track release, containing songs that will feature on a following full length within the next year or so.

Details of this particular release will be announced shortly, along with some other cool things.

A new track called “April Showers” is available for streaming on our bandcamp page. Listen and share.
