[Heeplist] Analog music recording

Sun Jul 27 17:24:53 EDT 2014

 Shawn,
Thanks, they remind me of Black Sabbath sound, and it is nice. As for me, I can't say I really made friends with any of the lot I have at home. Both my combo amplifiers, transistor and valve tube, seem to distort it better, more like real rock sounds. :) My major disappointment was with MXR Custom Badass'78 - I still don't know what it is for. :)))
Cheers, Igor
