I just finished a new tune called "I See Your Light".<br />So I thought that I'd post some info on the guitar rig used...I've had a lot of people ask me what gear I use in the studio and also live. <br />In the studio i use either a Bill Nash relic strat with Lollar pick ups or a 1983 Fender rosewood neck strat with Fender 1968 electronics into an Cry Baby wah, RC Booster and A/B box. From there it goes to a 1976 JMP Marshall 2204 and 1987 Silver julilee 100 watt head. both amps run vintage Marshall 4x12 with Rola 25 watt Celestions. I make sure that the microphone is pointing about two inches off center to the cone and set at a very slight angle to avoid too much pressure. Moving the microphone closer to the centre of the driver will increase the attack but you will lose the warmth. If you are placing microphones on a stereo guitar cabinet or cabinets, then follow the above steps but make sure that they are placed symmetrically to avoid any phase problems. I use Shure SM 58's into a Presonus Firepod into my Mac G5 running Logic Pro. Live, I run a Silver Jublilee 2550 with Marshall 4x12 and 2 vintage Fender Super Reverbs, Cry baby Wah, RC Booster. The Lexicon PCM 80 and Chandler Digital Echo is fed by the line out of the Jubllee and then the signal is amplified by the stereo Fender Supers or Fender Vibro Kings.

Part of my tone is achived by turning the amps way up....a luxury I can afford due to a spare bedroom in my home studio set aside just for that purpose. The 50 watt Marshall JMP is cranked to about 8 and the Marshall Jubilee is on about 7and set to the 50 watt setting. Load enough to kill small animals at 20 paces....seriously the power tubes need to be worked a bit. I love Jimi Hendrix's tone on Band of Gypsys. In my opinion that is the ultimate strat /marshall tone....if it ain't broke don't fix it.<br /> Mike Landau and Scotty Henderson also get this very ballsy, very raw sound which I find very exhilarating and gripping. It's all about the signal chain and great vintage amps. My next amp may be the John Suhr OD 100 classic SE, which seems to replicate a well tuned late sixties early seventies Marshall Plexi. The Xotic RC booster helps slam the front end of the amps with a bit more punch. I also pick lightly and back off the tone control on the bridge pickup on the strat, back at least half way to warm up the tone and rid myself of some of the harshness of the highend.

OK.. as some of you know.. i have added guests to my Hemi Tones project .. LUAY the LIGHTNING.. on ALLSPARK.. and the venerable&nbsp;SATURATED&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;on SATURATED HEMI<br /><br />the ninth and final tune has been composed ( the tenth tune for the project is coming from JIM VARK&nbsp; with his composition DIVINATION)<br /><br />SOO.. now i am puttin out the call for a Metal minded Hemi Hearted.. Bassist that can handle the 120bpm madness of my final HEMI Tones tune.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; This final tune is probably the heaviest and most powerfull tune i have composed to date.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />PM me or reply to the blog... if you are intrested <br /><br />KED<br /><br />

A prog rock song with a subject pulled from&nbsp;recent news. It's&nbsp;about a young man that was diagnosed as being bipolar. He committed suicide while away at college. He had a web cam set up in his room with a chat room of peers looking on for several hours, as he took the pills. No one called for help until it was too late. The lyric pretty much tells the story but with our interpretation...................<br /><br />The&nbsp;ugly thought of no one really recognizing the severity of the young man's depth of illness and getting him the help he needed was disturbing to us so we did what musician's do....we wrote a song about it&nbsp;with the hope that it might bring some attention to the subject and to not let this teenager's life and death pass in vain. <br /><br />Farrell Jackson for CDCG&amp;F

Magically Mixposure appears anew, however all of my songs from "The Hazzy Sky" have been deleted. Most of those songs I've lost all copies of and extremely unhappy that I couldn't even download my own songs from the site because of previously embedded settings.<br /><br />I don't know what this site claims to be about, but I'm weary that it will suck. I don't see any of the previous artists from before the shutdown.<br /><br />Sinsearly,<br />UFO
