Thanks Floyd for checking out my version. Yes the level fuzz was a tough call. I have switched from analog pedals, amos and microphones to a Line 6 modular pedal. I pulled up Santana tunes and noodled along with them on Youtube, The first one was a recorded version of Samba Pa Ti which had a very nasel phasey tone to it with the mids scooped out. Line 6 has a "Tone" community forum where you can share presets. I downloaded the Samba Pa Ti which I was not fond of and one for Europa which was pretty cool. This song has actually three tracks blended. 1. Europe panned 10% left 2. Dry track dead center and a Samba Pa Ti 10% right. The Dry track and the Samba Pa Ti water down the Europe Toned track.

This was a lot of fun. Really enjoyed it. Glad you liked it

Floyd said it needed more "fuzz", and yes...true dat. I think what he probably meant was more gain. This is almost too clean sounding for Carlos. After all, CS did play with a Mesa Boogie back in the day. Those things were tone machines from nothing but the gain stages being cranked.


Thanks Herb. I added your comment to this thread as I know you are using a modular effects system as well now. Incredible devices. It nice to be able to go back and reapply the effects after the track has been recorded. I lost allot of really cool riffs because something was not set right while I wasd recording it. Most times I could not recapture on the next takes as I rarely place the track the same way twice. Glad you liked it.
