Jeff did an amazing job laying down the drums on his vintage made in the UK Premier kit. Dan’s bass playing and tones were super rad, but I guess when you have quality like Sadowsky and TC Electronics that’s bound to happen.

I tracked using my Gibson customshop 339 (White Swan) into my MesaBoogie single Rectifier and 3/4back cab. There will be some video footage of these killer tones overall. I think even Eric Johnson would be proud :P

Big thanks to Eric Mosher who engineered the madness yesterday. What a great step forward, up next… Vocal tracking, and nothing shows you how much work you need than vocal tracking lol.

Well if not you should definitely be checking them out. They produce some of the raddest sounding pedals, so rad that I had to have one. On Sunday I ordered myself the El Capistan Tape Echo after it being introduced to me by my good friend Paolo Scardillo. I’ve been following the UPS Tracking and well it should be here tomorrow!
I also ended up scoring a Made In Japan Boss Chorus Ce-3 which also kills. Geek Vibes for sure!

Catch you guys soon

Well we’re off to mastering this week at Vancouvers own Suite Sound Labs by a talented Alex De Grace. We’re stoked.

It’s been quite the journey through this one, many of the songs have evolved into something quite amazing, especially if you’ve seen where they started from. I’m stoked to see your reaction. It will very soon be available for your listening pleasure. – Sean

Electronics “Hall of fame” http://www.thefriendsof7.com/2011/06/t-c-electronics-hall-of-fame/ http://www.thefriendsof7.com/2011/06/t-c-electronics-hall-of-fame/#comments Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:09:04 +0000 Sean Nisbet-Jones http://www.thefriendsof7.com/?p=347 Wow, T.C. has really done it again! Now, myself being a huge fan of T.C. products am stoked about the release of this pedal. I personally use 2 Nova Delays and a Polytune, I used to have a Nova Verb, but the one thing about their Nova pedals is that they require a 12V adapter, and there isn’t anything small to fit on a pedal board besides a low profile power bar, everything else I’ve looked into can’t give you the required Voltage for more than 1 (Voodoolabs), and I really didn’t want to have 3 wall warts hanging off of my board… Anyways, that’s another adventure I’ll get into another day. Now back to this pedal, if you’re a guitarist and your looking for a clean, true by-pass reverb definitely check this out. The trails are smooth, the spring reverb is fantastic. But don’t take my word for it, check out this review done by Tore.

I tried out the Mesa Boogie Lone Star 2×12 combo, which, for a small guy like myself is such a pain in the ass to move around. It weighs around 90lbs. Second, I tried the Mesa Boogie Roadster Head, which sounds awesome, but is 12lbs heavier than the Solo Rectifier which makes it harder to move about, and the foot-switch has many many buttons, for a veteran of the 2 channel I was definitely not comfortable with this. The whole purpose of this expedition was to go smaller and have the same quality. So here I am back with my true love, the Solo Rectifier with one new addition, the Fulltone OCD Overdrive which sounds amazing! Great for the Vox or Marshall sound in HP mode or LP which doesn’t colour, giving you tones closer to your amp. So thank you Fulltone for making my life easy. – Sean
