Inside the Crafter's Studio

























Nerds,

I just got back from an evening session at an area studio. I had never been there before and it was totally SWEET! A great live room, super solid mic collection, and an awesome rack and board! What else could you want?! Here are some shots of my setup tonight taken from my crappy phone-camera. Enjoy!

Guitar:
Toni, my Fender Jazzmaster

Effects:
(Tuner)-->Keeley TS9-->Xotic AC Booster-->Line6 DL4-->out

Amp:
Epiphone Valve Junior-->Marshall 1x12 with Celestion Heritage 75W
Mic:
Shure SM57


Big ups to all the studio crafters out there MAKIN' IT HAPPEN!

you are truly "astronauts", explorin' that space!


'til next time,

What's the Difference, Bro?

















Nerds,

Lately I've been rather intrigued by the guitar amp/effect modeling features in my version of Garage Band. In fact it inspired me to conduct a little experiment.

Would would happen if I tested Garage Band's model of a Vox AC30 with my AC30?

Check out the following clip to see (or hear, I guess) the results.
