Clint: Ha - yeah those 80's eighties moments!  I'll check out Valhalla Vintage verb.  Thanks for your comments. I play and monitor my guitar through a PodX3 while the signal is printed dry.  I then process the signal with PodFarm 2.5 with just and amp model and speaker model.  No stomp boxes.  After that I'm using EQ and a stereo signal generator to get the mono guitar signal spread out in the stereo spectrum.  And then I use the old VanHalen type ping pong delay (sonitus) for that large Arena type sound.
 
Leadfoot - thanks for the comments!  I agree with you on the delay.  It is there all throughout and I've not yet created automation to turn it up and down appropriately (out of laziness!)
 
yorolpal - thanks for listening and commenting.
 
John - Thank you very much!
 
speedtom - Thank you.  I use Superior 2.0 for drums.  What do you use?
 
Rik - thanks a lot!

Tim - Glad you liked it!
 
Scotty - thanks for the compliment - that means a lot coming from a talent like you.

Geno,
I really like your take on this.  Similar to the original but some nice, new modern twists throughout.  Really fine work.  I did hear one funky snare hit or double snare hit around 3:32.  I can tell you have been working on your drum mixes though, quite good as the sound is very natural, almost with a hint of a live feel to them.  Guitar sounds great as always, as do the vocals.
 
Regards

Hey, Geno,
 
This cover is PURE DYNAMITE, brother!
 
Excellent work on the vocals and great job capturing Schon's guitar tone and solo work.  Over the years in my cover bands, we probably played 20 or more Journey songs, and I always thought he was underrated as a guitar player.  I liked his playing since the early Santana days right through HSAS and Bad English, as well as Journey.
 
Great stuff, Geno, have a good one, buddy!
Bob
