Here are two mp3s sent to the RickResource Forum mailbox by Matthew Clinkenbeard. The first is Matthew and the second is Tom, both using the 360/12. Thanks guys.
RicOSound
RicOSound with Compression
I will leave it to Tom or Matthew to explain in detail.
Janglebox vs. Ric-O-Sound

The Janglebox recording is very very impressive.
The RicOsound recording sounds just like my 360 does through my Fender Twin without any outboard effects.
Nicely done guys.

First of all, thanks to Peter for helping us. What a great guy!
To clarify, these are both the Ric-O-Sound unit, and not the JangleBox. Our original post was merely to explain that we think the Ric-O-Sound (or an appropriate substitute) is surprisingly "jangly" in the studio, left to its own devices. The second soundbite has some "compression" from our Garageband program.

Sorry for the error, Tom. I have corrected the labels of the mp3s, accordingly.

Based on the change in the posting description, I'll amend my comment. The Ric-O-Sound unit with a bit of compression is very, very impressive.

Here ya go Mark - there was one floating around in the jam area at MARF: http://www.janglebox.com/janglebox_about.htm
HA! I'll be damned. I didn't know that it wasn't a RIC product. Thanks, John.

Tom and others seeking the optimal chime of Rickenbacker 12 strings. I have recently ordered a Gemini III which I have commented on in the Venturing Into The Shadows topic.
To my ear, his tone-shaper has provides a noticeable increase in the clarity of the Rickenbacker 12 string but without the harshness that accompanies treble. I purchased the unit in conjunction with Shadows' music but was pleasantly surprised of how it accentuated the sound of Rickenbackers too.
My brief review and links to the Gemini III site is here. I offer this link for those who may not typically venture in the shadows.

Peter, thanks for this interesting new wrinkle. We forsee a whole new thread just on this. The price is right! Perhaps someone could post a sample of its sound.
To complete our original entry, here's our finished song as excerpted previously in this thread. Again, this is the 360/12 with Ric-O-Sound played directly into the board.
In addition to our Rics, we own a couple of Martins. In May, we were invited to a workshop with Laurence Juber (Paul McCartney's old guitar player) who was on a promotional tour for Martin. That night, he was demonstrating his technique in DADGAD tuning (as in D-A-D-G-A-D). We came home and wrote this song just for fun. The acoustic is an old Gibson LG my mom bought for me when I was 5. (Here's a clue-Dwight Eisenhower was president.)
Elsewhere on this board, there are posts about The Byrds' sound and recording software for idiots. We have a vote on the latter, because we are idiots, and this is what we have figured out so far about GarageBand. We're still working on it.
As for the Byrds thing, this is our 360 with a Gretsch handling the lead at the end. We like the way these guitars intermingle, tonewise. The old marriage between Rickenbacker and Gretsch, created by the Beatles and the Byrds, still works for us. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
