Davester2296 | Advance Wars 2 - Ending [Cover by DAR] @DAR-Davester2296 | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Much like the franchise itself, its been a while since it got some love over here on the channel! With the remake around the corner (now delayed until Spring of 2022 apparently), I figured that now would be a nice time to cover something from the series.
I've always enjoyed the warm and happy mood that this ending theme had, so I did my best to stay true to that in this cover. I've made a few changes here and there to sort of amplify the happy atmosphere of the song. One such change would be the swung rhythm of the drums. I think it really helped add to that feel-good mood of the track.
At first, I wasn't really going to use any synths (or change the drum beat), however, that all changed as I listened to the original. My brain started thinking of electronic elements, mainly due to the clap and that sliding bass. After that, I threw in the new drum beat and layered up some synths for the synth-bass.
Also, I think this is the first time in a long while that I've used a tone from my Line 6 POD 2.0. I was really wanting a specific sound for my Strat, and my usual signal-chain just didn't cut it this time around. I needed something that stood somewhere between clean and overdriven. After some fiddling around, I managed to dial in a tone using one my POD's Plexi amp models.
I also really enjoyed noodling around and coming up with the leads in the second-half of the cover! It really makes me think back to the "alt-rock"/"pop-punk" sound of the early 2000's.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR
