Hotone Ampero (Pink Edition!) with a MIJ Tele.

Aimed for a classic rock crunch.  Used one of the presets I think..

Tele Ampero Tone Test 1

Track knocked up quick to demonstrate using the clean channel of the Blackstar HT5 when running into a Peavey 112-6 cabinet.

Mic'd up with a single SM57.  Guitar is an Ibanez JS1000 modded with Fluence KSE pickups.

Pedals used (everything in front of the amp - didn't use the effects loop!)include:

- Bogner Harlow v2 (boost/comp)
- Maxon PT999 (phaser)
- Fulltone OCD Ge (OD)
- Black Country Customs Spiral Array (chorus)
- MiMidi Fade (cheap delay)

No EQ or compression in the DAW, just minor volume and panning automation to make it more interesting.

Blackstar HT5 Pedal Platfform

Remixed version of precious track, trying to cut out the boom-ee low end and add some top end sparkle.  I think it worked, hope you like it..

Dark Echoes

Melancholy Acoustic

I’m a UK transplant living in Los Angeles since 2008.

Xennial, born in 1980, with 3 decades experience playing guitar (did some gigs with a UK-based band in late 90s-early 2000s but mostly as a hobby now).


Influences are hard rock and metal primarily (GnR, KSE, Iron Maiden,  =VH=, etc.) but I was into Hendrix and Cream for a minute, ZZ Top, and other blues monsters like SRV. 

The Prodigy was a gateway into 90s electronic music, especially since it incorporated guitars.  Then Sneaker Pimps got me into trip hop, along with Portishead.

So I’m all over the place and my library / playlist is a bit of a shitshow.

That’s reflected in my music that I create:  mostly rock/metal, with some ambient / alt stuff thrown in here and there.
