Here Comes Round Two (2024 Version)

Robert James

Hello and welcome to the first song from Quarantine Tunes Volume Eight, also known as the eighth round of The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project, also known as the highlight reel from the 2020 50/90 Challenge.

Or something like that.

I had plans to make this super heavy with fuzz boxes on all of the guitar tracks. When it came to recording time though I just cranked my Fender Deluxe Reverb to a ridiculous volume and added a Klon pedal as a boost and ended up with this quality rock and roll guitar sound. On the rhythm tracks at least. The leads used a DI signal so they don’t quite have the blessed volume magic.

Specifically, the rhythm tracks are my Gibson ES-335 Pro into a Klon KTR overdrive pedal into the aforementioned Fender Deluxe Reverb with the volume set around five and the tubes saturating nicely. The leads are my Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Real McCoy Customs RMC10 wah pedal into a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into the same Klon KTR into a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails into both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox MV50 Clean, both of which were running direct into my USB audio interface through their cabinet simulators.

A
here comes round two
it can’t have you
its comes around again
we can get through

B
we came so far
but here we are
we can’t escape it
beyond a doubt
we’ll work it out
we’ll work it out

C
One more go round
not too profound
we’re back once again
I never wanted this to happen to you

B2
Thought we were safe
in our safe space
not so, not likely
on the attack
it comes roaring back
comes roaring back
