Assault-WIP

This recording was back in the 90’s & 2000 from using a Sony Dual Cassette Deck to record.  The amplifier at the time was most likely a CRATE GFX-212 DSP.  The effects used for most of these recordings from the 90’s would have been from a ZOOM 505 and a ZOOM GFX-707. I also used the Amazing DOD Metal-X Distortion Pedal. I will also note I still have my original Tascam 424 MKIII 4-track which I used with a Shure SM57 to record. Yes! I still have many Cassettes for recording. These are raw recordings so expect noise, tone and clarity issues.

She's An Angel-WIP

Sleeping Dragon

Face In The Dirt-WIP
