The usual black-grey-blue suspects... but, wait a minute.. who's that next to the Pulsarrrr?

A new pot and cap and Saltbooster #1 perfectly fills the role without filling the pedalboard. Welcome back, my friend- I'm sorry we've not been too close these past few years.

This is the setup I used in the studio, two weeks ago.
It goes CP Jazzmaster> Boss TU-2> Vox V847A Wah> '86 Rat> Sovtek Muff> Boss FRV-1> Jumpered input 1977 Traynor YBA-1> Closed Back 2X12 with one Celestion Sidewinder (mic'd) and one Electro Voice EVM12L.

We recorded this "off the floor", in a huge concert hall, hence the separators.

Here's a look at The Duke's stuff:

I believe that's: 90's Dano U2> Boss TU-2> Malekko Ekko 616 delay> EHX LPB-1> Blackout Effectors Twosome> 90's Rat> ElectroDrone Dirty Bird> 1972 Fender Super Reverb. Sounded awesome, ecept for the Dirty Bird which is shite.

Check out the HUUUUUUGE Resonator bass drum, yo!

I couldn't get a photo of Awesome Bassist's rig because she was busy fiddling with shit with the engineer.

is there a post somewhere about this recording session? it looks awesome. recording in a theater, very cool. yeah, that resonator bass drum, haha, awesome. hmmm, those baffles wouldn't do much I imagine; maybe cut down the direct sound from leaking through but there's gonna be a really live reverberation everywhere (I guess that is the point of recording in a theater though!).

laterallateral · Post by **laterallateral** » Mon May 24, 2010 1:16 am

Yeah, no. there's no post specific to this and yeah, the baffles were mostly intended to keep the instruments from bleeding into eachother.
The verb from the room was great. About half the tracks we did in this session had to be scrapped because the quality of the room was so different from anything either of us were used to, we couldn't keep up with eachother...

This would give you an impression of scale:

I'll post some of the recordings once vocals have been recorded and the tracks mastered.

I guess maybe I should start a thread about this...

I like that black-on-black, stripped-down, look.

I HAS A PEDAL:

I kinda fell into this one. I went to MGR for a part for my GF's Epi Dot. They didn't have the part, but I spotted this old CS-2 for $20 "as-is." I knew they fetched about $70 on ebay, so I grabbed it figuring I'd pocket a tidy $50. Only thing wrecked was the battery clip, which I fixed in 20 minutes.

Then I tried the thing out. AWESOME. It can boost and even out my normal playing dynamic while keeping the louder bits from killing the speaker. My right hand doesn't have to fight for fullness and volume anymore, so I can keep it more relaxed and play faster/cleaner. This pedal actually improves my playing!

I've wondered why a purist like yourself didn't have at least a compressor. That day has come i suppose. They're very useful for clean fingerpicking

Impressively so. I've been going guitar->amp for basically 2 years. Thrown a wah or a trem in from time to time, but always went back. This is really too good to give up - it makes the sound dramatically better.

Tried something different today:
VPJR splitting the signal, the tuner out goes to the acoustic B200, and the out goes to the OCD/DLS box then into a SF Bassman
So the acoustic is always on and the ocd/bassman is swelled in via the volume pedal

The B200 does great cleans for guitar, and the bassman being pushed a little by the OCD is just great. The 15" speaker in the acoustic and the 2x12s out of the Bassman really smacks you in the chest after 5 on the volume knob
