Psalm 12

Performed with the 2002 Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster (7-Up Green) at Love Notes.

Signal chain:

  • Donner Boost Killer (inactive)
  • Danelectro Cool Cat Tremolo (engaged only during Psalm reading)
  • H.B.E. Mimic Mock I (slapback, volume on full)
  • Fender Pro Junior IV

Setup:

  • TBX and Mid-Boost set to zero during melodic runs.
  • Fingerpicked melody on E Major scale, traversing the neck over an E bass drone.
  • Cool Cat Trem engaged during recitation of Psalm 12, especially verse 6:

“The words of the LORD are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.”
(Psalm 12:6, ESV)

Transitioned to E – A strumming loop to close.

The Green Clapton carried the session with clarity and resonance, its voice distinct from the Red yet firmly at home within Love Notes.
