Many thanks to Carl for allowing me to use these recordings which he so graciously provided (complete with commentary!). On the 2 test files the guitar is run pretty much straight in to the board with a little reverb added. On the full song it runs through into the Klon pedal and is also mic'd for the acoustic tones from the f holes. The positions referenced on the tracks follow the electronics description in the instrument specifications at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!~

These recordings were done using a Fostex VF16 digital recorder with a "room reverb" setting added at mixdown.

Both of the following demo recordings were done with a 10w Roland Cube running directly into the board.

This recording illustrates the wide range of tone available from this instrument. Track 1 (7.73 MB): MykaTestTones.mp3
This recording highlights the lead tones available over a jazzy vamp. Track 2 (3.19 MB): MykaRangeofTones.mp3

For this full song recording the Dragonfly was run through a Klon pedal with a low gain setting routed into a Behringer Ultra Gain tube mic pre amp sent direct into the board. There is no amp used. The acoustic tones were achieved by an AKG Perception 100 microphone set about 6 inches away from the upper f hole also run through a Behringer Ultra Gain. The rhythm track used the middle pickup selection on the Dragonfly and position 5, the Shadow humbucker, was used for the lead.

Here is a complete recording with drums, guitar, and percussion. Track 3 (5.68 MB): dagirlfromEmpanada.mp3
