Are there any heavy/dense/full-sounding one-person acts?

In this video is a song i wrote for my solo project Nanshe. I used it to demo my Dunwich Head, and haven't got a chance to play it live, but it's one person and IMO pretty full sounding. Oh and when played live there will be another 200watt head and a 4x12 + 2x12 for even more fullness and volume. :yay: Still working on a bass amp setup for playing samples and keyboards through though (I'm thinking of running my AD200B through two cheapo acoustic 8x10's for this).

DANG! I knew you had a gnarly setup. Where do all you folks get the cash for all this shit? Got any job openings ? :poke:
I'm broke as fuck. :no:

Sounds sweet though.

Those are the two I currently use. Pretty damn useful. And for noise, at least, the stereo outs on the DL4 have been serving to split my signal between my main amp and my kinda crappy 1x12. I'm also looking at one of the various RC's.


Any links to this mammal guy?

hahahahahaha thanks my friend! I got these while i was still single, working 60hrs a week, and renting a room not paying a mortgage on a house. Now I'm lucky if i can get a new pedal once every couple of months :grumpy: Job openings? :erm: Do you have experience in importation / exportation, distribution, armed security, and or accounting / collections? :excellent:

Get a kick drum? Throw some reverb on it, too?

Seriously, he killed that shit. & that firebird mandolin? Awesome.

But I really think a kick drum with some big reverb on it would give you a pretty big wall of sound every once in a while.

Alternatively-Spring Reverb Box (a real one) into an infinite plate. Kick the box, watch Dick Dale explode into the stratosphere.

Neither of these are are heavy at all, but I've seen Bill Frisell and Andrew Bird pull of some very dense fullness playing solo with loopers/delay. Joe Preston already mentioned a few times but I have to say he is incredible, if you get a chance to see Thrones live DO IT. Also Daniel Higgs solo, the heaviness is the metaphysical kind.
