The “how we did it” Bits…..

Before we capture amps, we play-test them first with various guitars in different styles, even put them through various stomps to see if we can gain any advantage in that area. (if so we use it) – With the tests complete, we can determine the best route to take, either to mic it up aggressively, Naturally

or even a laid back approach, what guitar works better, and if we need to use any additional tools to help us get there..

Each Amp set has various “stages” of profiles, from clean+variations, breakup+variations all the way through to max gain. – this gives you total control over the amps voicing characteristics, and lets you “correctly” choose the right amount of gain for your guitar, rather than artificially adding it afterthefact.. – assuming we got it correct, then the rest is pure ear candy!
