OK so for the sake of content, here is my current guitar area of my living room. It’s a hot mess. I kinda went on a bender with some psychoactive substances last week and was writing and playing alot, moving pedals around, getting tangled in cables lol.

My current signal chain: Prs custom 24 se into CMC Germanium Sunface fuzz clone > wampler mini ego compressor > eqd grand orbiter phaser > CMC effects King of Tone clone > strymon deco double tracker > dod rubberneck delay > strymon flint reverb > boss rc5 looper.

All into a fender hot rod deluxe that needs repairs, I mic it up with a sm57, and whatever condenser mic I feel like using, I’ve got a akg c3000 on there now, then they run to some decentish preamps(Isa one and wa12) then into the line in on my interface. I’m running reaper on a shitty home made PC that’s like 12+yrs old with expired windows. Jammed it with ram and it runs great. It sounds pretty damn good. I blend the two signals together, or just use one, sometimes I’ll use 1 mic and do a direct in and blend those. I like the results. I’ll refine my process once I get down to really recording. I’ve been in writing mode for a while.

I bought that carpet recently and I kinda dig it. My first carpet purchase, I must be a real person now.

If you have any questions or recommendations or anything at all please feel free, thanks for reading.

Perhaps I’ll make another post with some other stuff later. But for now, if you care what it sounds like. I recorded this a while ago in spring, I have a more done version now but this is just guitar bass and drum for this post. No harmony or vocals or anything. Real rough. I have this and about 6 other things I’m working on right now. I’m trying to get an album done before I am too old and broken to hold a guitar. (:

I don’t do this for money

    Hell yea!. I have a s.o. but shes cool af. She plays clarinet and keys and luckily she loves music and doesn’t mind me cranking it lol. I’m not going the having children route.

    I let life get in the way of my music for 10 years with addiction, so I’m kinda making up for lost time. Lol
