Weekend summary! Somehow my phone didn’t have a pic or video of the main LTD guitar that was used on most of the rhythms. Used the studio LP R8 for one song, and they used their favs for leads! Mark sounded phenomenal on the C12!

clean guitar reamps yesterday. Definitely the most detailed and intense work I’ve ever done on cleans like this. Dual deluxe reverb’s, mic’d in stereo, sent through TG2’s, 5500’s. And La3a’s! Then Coles ribbons through the same, except smashed by a pair of my distressors. and for effects. Oh and the EP booster in one spot!

Happy day!!!! Go listen to the dudes in shred some John Williams!

Caught again tonight! Also ran into two buddies. What’s wild is all 3 of us have recorded drums for songs!!! I played on the first three singles before there was a full band. Then Chris joined and played on their record, then he retired, and John joined and is playing on their next one (as well as some singles). Cool small world.
