I just finished recording the guitar parts for the new record last night. I'm pretty excited about the sounds the Doc and I were able to come up with (but most of the praise must go to the Doc, as well as Paul Reynolds). I think we did a real good job of capturing the sound we heard in our heads. I have to say, I haven't had this much fun recording guitars in a long time.
For those who care, here's a rundown of all the guitar related gear used for the record:
Guitars: Blue Fender Telecaster, Black Fender Telecaster, Fender Stratocaster, Fender Jazzmaster.
Amps: Fender Bandmaster (Andy calls it the Bassman), Eric's 2X10 Laney
Pedals: Boss Compressor, Boss OD-1, Real Tube Distortion, Rat, DOD Reverb, Line 6 Delay, Turbo Rat, Smart People Factory Greenline Over Drive (sounds really, really good), Ibanez Chorus... I think that's it. Nothing too crazy. The key to the sound on this record is the Boss OD-1. Awesome fuckin' pedal!
While recording the guitar parts for this record I realized I'm going to have to buy some sort of multi-effects/programmable unit to be able to play this stuff live. I'd like to stay away from a rackmount device, so something that is a floor unit would be cool. The Doc mentioned the Boss GT-6. Any opinions or suggestions?
