The Load Out. 

A lot of musicians want to know what set up I used to create my music. I will say that in all of my songs I try to use as many different combinations and sounds as possible, different mike techniques, different effects and processors. 

• The Guitars. I have seven guitars; Ibanez RG-750 which was special ordered for me. Electric with HSH combination on the body, floating tremolo bar, Fender Stratocaster, with a Roland GK pickup by the tremolo bar. and a Harmony Les Paul with Jazz round strings, these are my electric guitars. Gibson classical with black folk strings, Ibanez classical with nylon strings. Ibanez full body acoustic and Ibanez thin body Talman acoustic.

• Other Acoustic Instruments. Palentino Violin, Rogue Mandolin, Yamaha Keyboards, Roland Keyboards. 

• Amps are all used through a Roland VGA-7 simulator which consist of Roland JC-120, Fender Clean Twin, Fender vintage tweed, British Blues driver, Marshal Hot rodded combination, Marshal studio, Marshal lead, Soladano lead, 5150 lead. Small combo, large stack, two stacks or three stack combination. Simulates Fender, Les Paul, Hollow body, acoustic and others. 

• Mikes: SM57&58, D421, C451, U87, U47, AKG condensers. 

• All Stereo Digital effects: Reverbs, Delays, Gates, compressors, limiters, stereo chorus, stereo flangers, stereo phasers, Space Chorus', Lo-fi processors, Voice transformers, Roland Surround Sound, Vocoders. and more digital EQs!

• Guitar Effects: Roland GR-30 Guitar Synthesizer, Digitech XP 100 Wammy-Wah. Ibanez Chorus, Boss EQ, Ibanez metal. 

• Drums. Tama 9 piece acoustic, Roland electronic, Yamaha percussions, Fruity Loops, Voyetra samples, Acid Pro.

• Processors: Sound Forge, Cakewalk, Steinberg wave. 

• Recorded on Roland 64 channel Digital recorder, 20 bit. Roland digital studio monitors. Tascam DA-20, Sony CD Burner. 

• Mastered on Sound Forge 6.0, Roland Compresses limited EQ. 

All songs are created in a pure digital field. digital mixer, digital recorder, stereo digital effects, digital processors, and digitally mastered to keep everything very clean. With the highly sensitive mikes in some songs you can hear not only background noise, you usually can hear me breathe! The music is also the art of production that can be changed from one song to the next. Any questions feel free to ask.
