Here’s an example of the magnetic pickup sound of the
iGuitar 8.13. This was recorded—with the pickup selector set in
the middle position—direct through a Roger Linn AdrenaLinn
processor into MOTU’s Digital Performer 4.11, where a little
reverb was added.

This is an example of the RMC piezo pickup in the iGuitar 8.13.
This was recorded direct into MOTU’s Digital Performer 4.11 where
compression, EQ, and reverb were applied using Wave Arts TrackPlug and
MasterVerb plug-ins.

This gives an example of how well the iGuitar 8.13 tracks when
driving a MIDI synth. The guitar (with the pickup selector switch in
the middle position) was recorded direct through a Roger Linn
AdrenaLinn processor and appears on the left side of the stereo image.
The synth sound, which appears on the right, was a clav patch from a
Roland JV-880. It was driven from the MIDI out of a Roland GI-20
interface into which the iGuitar 8.13’s 13-pin pickup was
connected.

An excerpt from “Killer Jim Miller,” written and
performed by Pat Kirtley on his Rural Life CD (Mainstring Records,
1998). This song was recorded with stereo condenser mics plus a
magnetic pickup. The condensers were panned left and right and the
magnetic pickup was put up the middle.

This is an excerpt from “Grandpa’s Lullaby,”
written and performed by Pat Kirtley on his Rural Life CD (Mainstring
Records, 1998). It was recorded using a dissimilar stereo pair: a
condenser cardioid on one side and a dynamic omni on the
other.

This is a small section of a recording by Pat Kirtley of the Irish
traditional song “Shi Beg Shi Mhor, ”from his CD Irish
Guitar (Mainstring Records, 1997). Kirtley combined several of the
techniques he describes in the article when recording this: He used an
omni, dynamic mic, and recorded it in mono.

This is an excerpt from “Pierre,” an unreleased track
recorded by Pat Kirtley. It shows the technique of using a MIDI pad
(from a guitar synth triggered from a synth pickup on the acoustic)
recorded at the same time as the main acoustic guitar and
“ghosted” into the mix.

Most of the AdrenaLinn II’s filter effects produce
variations on the classic auto-wah.

Talk Box sounds more like yet another auto-wah effect than a real
talk box.

Arpeggiator Sequences dictate that you play in a particular key to
achieve the desired effect.
Web Clip 4
The key signature doesn’t matter when you’re playing
with Filter Sequences; you can even play in whole-tone mode.
Web Clip 5
The AdrenaLinn II offers such long delay times that you can
accompany yourself in real time.

The Drumbeat section supplies an assortment of one- and
two-measure rhythm patterns; here, I’ve played several in
series.
