Revisited a demo called "Have Fun" from about a year ago to see the progress in my mixing and production.

Im starting a project for fun that is basically a strapping young lad ripoff called Girlfight so i can have some fun music to run to.  Who knows if this project will survive a day, lets find out!

Garden Of Sankhara - Mesa JP2C Mix

A clip showcasing a distorted amp patch i made on the Axefx II with the 2.0c update!  Used my EBMM JP7 with the original Dimarzios for this clip and the Das Metall amp model through the German cab and 57 mic with a T808 OD Drive block.

Precision Drive Mix Riff

Periphery (Special Edition)

Periphery - Passenger

A quick test i whipped up to showcase some of the sounds my new Mayones Regius 8 was capable of in a heavy setting.

Mayones White/Blue Fade Regius 8 String Test Clip

So this is the clip that I had been talking about revisiting with a new mix on fb the other day.

According to soundclick, I originally uploaded this in Nov of 2005.  Man, that feels like another lifetime, but I thought these riffs were actually pretty fun, so I figured it would be a good opportunity to test out Axefx II Firmware 10 in a mix context!

Maybe I'll post up the rhythm patch sometime soon.

Hope ya dig!

Guitar: Jackson Custom Shop 7 Blue Sparkle
Drums: Toontrack Metal Machine
Bass: Trillian

Revisiting some riffs from 2005/Axefx Fw 10 Test Clip

Why? Because I love this album and I love this song, and sometimes it's fun to do stuff like this!

Also a good excuse to use the Attack setting on my Protone Signature Overdrive Pedal in front of the Axefx II.
Guitar is my Daemoness 7, Bass is Trillian, Drums are Toontrack Metal Machine.

Work in progress, I am going to try to figure out that damn solo if at all possible haha.

Cover of "Elastic" by Meshuggah (WIP)

Tosin is in town so I figured I would do a quick test with his guitar!
I am using an 8 string to it's complete capacity.
One string used on the TAM 100, except for the leads which are on one string as well and going through a Dunlop Carbon Copy which is oh so sweet!
