"oh my celestia.. you are challenging vinyl's amplificators with that beauty.. sure it's very impressive! but you know.. i'm an old fashioned pony, don't get me wrong i love every kind of real music, bah tecno and that... things" mumbled Volt ".. from metal to blues but usually i like the warm peacefull sound of my tube amps, you know.. try to listen to Romeo and Juliet of the Dire straits... that's what i mean.. uhm but i think you prefer distortion eh? well i have a friend who really enjoy playing jimmy ponhendrix on his left-hoofed fender stratoponcaster.. i've made a fuzz-face and an univibe effects for him... celestia that guitar sound like a fluttershy' singing bird swimming in Applejack's Daniel or Pinkie Pie high on mushrum acid... i think you got what i mean.. but i think is the sound of that period.. ah again... i'm too mentaly old.. god i'm 22 years old and you make me feel like i'm a old pony looking at his grammophone!  " exclaimed Volt

"Dude! I've made an awesome pedal called: "Sonic Rainboom". he then took the pedal out of his bag. It had two switches, an on/off switch and a switch labeled "Sonic Rainboom." Check this out. This pedal offers bright distortion plus, when the Sonic Rainboom switch is engaged, it adds a little more gain and a light edge of chorus." Thunder Dash explained as he demonstrated with a song.

Oh my celestia that's just plain amazing.. it sounds exactely as the guitar sound of that famous song of the movie "Top Gun" ! I'm not an hugh fan of guitar effect as, again, i prefer smooth clean sound but i have to admin that i really like this kind of sound.. beautifull song also.. i still don't know what is my place in the world... bah who cares! Listen up! this is a demo of my friend playing the clone of that effect i mentioned, the one used from ponhendrix, i don't know what kind of music you play so it probably will be useless for ya" Volt opened his old, dusty and ruined work bag, after few second with his nose inside it and the sound of rumbling screw drivers and other unorgonized tools he stood out an old cassette recorder.. " i must use this things! since very i work all eletronic equipment cannot work.. you know.. too much elettromagnetic field.. only those old walkpony works here and i NEED music to work!.. i don't understand why we must use generators to produce equestria's elettron flow movement... i call it electricity but collegues taunt me about it, we could use the natural power of thunders! or enslave some unicorns!" Volt looked in to the frowned face of Thunder Dash "I am only kidding of course! here it is" volt plugged an old magnetic cassette with a "Commercial-Demo" label in the walkman "here, listen to this... i am thinking about opening a music shop down in ponyville.. working here when i am not at that celestia-damned damm! Some good old records and home build amps... i could use the hand of artists like you to develop new sounds" smiled Volt "oh it's just a dream... i still don't know why they banned me from the Cloudsdale weather corp... i don't remember anythin.. well i guess it's better like that.. i really like ponyville, oh you still didn't introduced me your band!.. Are you a band right?"

"That is a sweet vibe dude. But vibrato goes really well with chorus." Thunder Dash stated as he went to his amp settings and went to this clean setting. I've also got this sweet baby here." Thunder Dash said as he pulled out his BOSS RT-20. "This is a Leslie Speaker simulator, which was used back in the days of classic light rock." Thunder Dash explained. Here have a look." Thunder Dash said as he hooked it up.

"hey dude that's absolute amazing! you have a real nice collection of pedals there! wish i could play some instrument but never go into it..maybe some day i will start learning to play the bass..."

"I love to fuse genres together. I took this one song and remixed it to a Soca Funk Rock Remix. I even got a vid of me and my band covering it." Thunder Dash said as he pulled his laptop up onto PonyTube. Thunder Dash searched for the vid and finally found it.

"BRILLIANT absolutely i love that "discord rift" but sincerely i think you need some better midi instruments... uhm i don't know, i really love it but there something that could be better.. i just don't know where.. it is only in the sound 'cause the music is pretty awesome.. you can try to play the guitar part alone in a standard amp and them mix it with the other midi instruments...or maybe you don't have the right distorsion this way?  i don't really know i am just supposing since i am not an artist and i do not play an instruments... pretty nice job anyway i am not trowing mud at anything! absolute respect for your work! can i ge the link to download the song? this goes on my collection"

"That was back in the day when I couldn't afford proper instrument software. By the way, did you want to learn any specific musical instrument, because I know how to play piano, sax, guitar and bass." Thunder Dash explained as he put his laptop back away into his bag.

Volt stooded upon thunder dash, his mouth opened on incredulity and admiration "really? wow that's just amazing... i can't play anything, my lil' brother play the traverse flute on a local band and my fiancee plays the battery in a metal band.. they do covers of metallica and iron maiden... i just like the sound of the bass.. nopony ever care about it, people just things it is worthless and you can't hear it.. but i like to listen close and its sound it's just amazing.. brings life to the music and clear all the holes.. i'd like to learn it but you see... lot's of work here (mainly studing in real life XD)

(OOC: I do play a little guitar and bass in real life. I'm actually teaching myself.)

 

"Well then..." Thunder Dash stated as he gathered some electrcity and made his bass appear from the blue. "Ready to get started? Bass is actually easier to learn that guitar, for you've got less strings and you usually just play the root of the chord that is currently being played." Thunder Dash explained.  

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

"wait wait wait! how did you just do that??? i thought i was the only one able to handle the elettricity that way! well i have never been able to create something from nowhere! i can only gather and store electricity from thunders and natural electric fields and then use it as a weapon or for my work...also i can make a thunder storm appear and gather lots of cloud if i use my energy on my tesla coil..  what you just did there is incredible! I thought it was only possible with unicorn's magic! Are you some sort of thunder god??? " Volt made some step backward to look better at thunder dash.. Volt's eyes were glittering from static electricty getting stored inside him... mixed with a vein of jealousy...

Treble Bolt replies to the latest song played, "I don't understand why ponies think computerized music is often seen as superior to real musical instruments.  I mean, there are some things programs can do that normal instruments can't, such as dubstep, but it shouldn't be considered superior to instruments that have been around as long as ponies (in different forms, depending on the culture). don't get wrong, the ponies who know those programs are very talented. I surely couldn't do that kind of stuff"...

"Well, if you really wanna know. I can wield electricity and convert it into magic power. I got the ability when I was little when I had to rescue this young pegasus from a storm. As I was searching for it, I was struck by lightning. Somehow, the lightning bolt was absorbed in my body and caused my genetic code to be reshaped. That's how I got the ability. He then started to play the opening riff to "Miss Murderer" on his bass.

Volt started do listen to the rift.. so much memories camed back.. but not the memories he wanted to have.. "uhm nice story.. indeed.. it's similar to mine... i waked up in the sky about two years ago during a storm.. i can't remember anything prior to that.. i don't know who or where are my parents or where i was born.. nothing.. and i got strucked by a lighting.. i waked up on the tower of the cloudsdale weather corp with my cutie mark and since that i lived and studied here.. until this year where i moved, well forced to move, in poniville... i don't think my dna changed somehow.. i cannot dye from eletrocution that's for sure... also i am pretty god handling electric power, but not the raw ones like you.. my dream was to use lighitng bolt to power all equestria.. but i failed everytime.. i wish that Tesla was still alive.. oh yes i can pack up thunder electricty and discharge them at lower voltage but i refuse to use my body as an electric station! " Volt looked at the bass in the hooves of thunder dash.. "a strange way to play it".. it was like he was tapping the strings instead of pinching them they way he used to know

(ooc: sorry treble Bolt! didn't see your post! i don't know hoe to get it into now)

 

hoh hello there fellow pegasus.. i do not consider computerize music superior, just the opposite! i listen also to classical... i am an audiophile... and i'm sorry but i can't stand dubstep... it sound exactely like the pumps i have to maintain at my celestia damned damm! I work with Vinyl only bacuse she has nice ideas on how to get more RMS watt out of her amps... but this things.. this "music"... it scres me... it makes me feel ill.. no hard feelings althought

Melodious Beat strolled into Music Camp, her guitar and other belongings strung across her back. She had been looking forward to this camp all week long. "Hopefully I'll find some inspiration to help me complete my new album." She thought. She had been working on her album, for weeks, trying to create the right songs with the right feeling but had come up with nothing.

Melodious Beat fipped her mane behind her and placed her electric guitar onto the ground. "I'm a lead singer when I collaborate with bands and a guitarist. But if you already have a lead, I'm cool with doing back up." She leaned her guitar against the wall, and returned to the stallion. "I write my own songs too."

Symphony was slightly annoyed when Thunder's attention was turned, meaning him blatantly ignoring her, but at least it got her out of singing. She was surprised when the new pony turned to her.

Volt was starring at all of this pony united under the passion for music... "maybe i should stay and try to learn something" he told to himself.. "gaw to much work to do! i've lost too much time here! i still need to finish those amp for the galà party!" exclaimed suddenly Volt "ehi thunder, it was a pleasure to meet you.. i will love to meet you all but i have jobs to do.. mind if i put my recorder on your mix? When you are done i will have something new to listen!" Volt then started to rumble on his work bag " here it goes... ehi thunder, take this!" volt slided a little box at thunder dash hooves "nothing special, just a wa-wa pedal.. probably you have tons of them but i have only this here... a little gift for thanking you! Hope too listen to you all again! happy camp!" Volt then plugged a little mp3 recorder at the main mix, at looked at all the ponies in the stage, then finally he made a military salute and taked off with two small flashs coming from his rear hoowes..."see ya all again! keep playing with the heart and what you like most.. music is a form of love.. not a way to earn bits!" then a distant thunder roared and volt was flying away toward his cloud home over ponyville lake
