Orange Tree Samples – Evolution Rick 12 v1.2.5

The Evolution Rick 12 captures the iconic sound of a 12-string electric guitar. We sampled a pristine vintage model with a semi-hollow maple body, rosewood fingerboard, and classic high-gain pickups.

We developed the library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah’s most respected recording studios. Guy Randle , the company’s owner and engineer, used analog audio equipment to skillfully convey and highlight the rich tonal qualities of the instrument, available in both the original direct and amplified signals. We recommend using the latter for increased richness and sustain.

To record the samples, Guy Randle enlisted the help of experienced guitarist Michael Dowdle . Michael has an impressive musical history. His session work includes recordings for artists such as Marie Osmond , The Osmonds , John Schneider , David Archuleta , and The Jets , as well as numerous film and television scores. He has also performed on stage with the likes of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys , The Coasters , Sam Cardone , and many others.

The Evolution Rick 12 is equipped with a powerful guitar effects engine, including a large collection of modeled guitar pedals. In addition, you can choose the size of the guitar cabinet, as well as several microphone options and their placement. So you have a complete set of guitar effects at your fingertips to get amazing tones without the need for external guitar processors.

But don’t take our word for it: let your ears decide.
