Sound Sample Information

Speakers

Our in-house sound technician, Kurt Prange, played the guitar for all of our sound samples using a Mexican Stratocaster guitar set on the neck position only. The volume and tone controls were set all the way up.

For the clean sound samples a Fender® Bassman 70 was used. The overdriven samples were all played through a Vox® Berkeley Super Reverb (tube type with EL84s). The amps and control settings were kept constant for all of the speakers.

A Sennheiser 421 microphone was used for all of the sound samples and was set 1.5 feet back at 30 degrees off center. All sound samples were recorded with Ableton Live 6 recording software through an M-Audio interface on a Macbook Pro. No external effects or compression were used on any of the sound samples.
