[edit] Newest Demoes
- HELL'S KITCHEN... From Lee Morant's Homepage All guitars are pure VG88 with a Godin LGXT]
- PARISIENNE WALKWAYS... From Lee Morant's Homepage All guitars are pure VG88 with a Godin LGXT]
- Here's a great demo of what the VG-8 is capable of... by Stephen Greenberg. All sounds are played live into the computer recorder with no additional effects or EQ. The sound clips are crossfaded to make them more interesting and show a broad range of available VG sounds
- Here's another demo of what the VG-8 is capable of... by Stephen Greenberg. There are some more exotic sounds and attemps to sound more "tube like". The last few clips have some obvious overdubs, all instruments are VG-8 with a couple of unimportant exceptions
- Here's an example of polyphonic distortion, a unique feature of the V Guitar system. Each string is fed through it's own distortion effect giving unusual definition to each note. The result is that chords and harmonies sound like they are being played by multiple instruments. This example demonstrates a phrase played with standard distortion and then with polyphonic distortion
- MP3 of a VG-8 Demo from the February 1996 issue of Guitarist magazine
- VG-88 Demo MP3
- Examples of "synth" mode ...almost entirely VG - 8 (sitars are VG-88, there are a few percussion loops also)
