daryl1968 appreciate the listen!
i'll tell you, that guitar (the usacg strat) is just dirt easy to record.
i can find a dozen easy tones out of it, and the pickups, i can't say enough good about those pickups.
very clear, and full, tho the tone of the little peavey tube amp doesn't have as much beef as my mesa, it does sit well in a mix.
that was direct line recording, the speaker emulation on the peavey is very close to my Palmer Junction....
you know, that amp was designed by joe satriani, and he uses palmer gear to capture all of his tracks, so he probably came close to copying the circuit, and i already know the palmer so well, it's easy to dial in a tone.
i mean, maybe i spent 10 minutes dialing in those tones!
