A MESSAGE TO ALL AMPLIFIER BUILDERS: PLEASE READ

[lolzgreg]

I am a relatively new forumite here, and I believe I have a great grasp on recording guitar amplifiers. I have spent the past two years of my life painstakingly tweaking knobs, moving microphones, using different boosts, changing cabinet positioning and choosing different micropones to ACCURATELY and properly capture the sound produced by a guitar amplifier.

I have high-definition gear including an RME Fireface 800, several appropriate microphones for recording guitar cabinets, and three high-quality guitar cabinets that put out some serious tone. I am obsessive over tone, and I want to be able to express that in recordings for your product.

I am putting it out on the table, that I will record ANY MANUFACTURER'S guitar, amplifier, guitar cabinet, pickup, or stopbox, FREE OF CHARGE, if shipping and return shipping is provided for the product in question. I assure you that your product will be packed and returned to you in the exact same condition it is shipped to me. I guarantee 100% satisfaction that YOU will be happy with the recording of your product, or I will continue to record it until you are.

I am a proficient guitarist/bassist and am capable of programming drum tracks to the point where only other experienced engineers (and maybe not even some of them) would be able to tell whether a real drummer was playing on the tracks.

This offer extends to anyone who will post here. Please contact me for details. Baron55 (Baron Custom Amplification's David Woodhouse), FortinAmps (Mike Fortin) and MILLS Acoustics (Dave Mills) will all be able to vouch that I am a stand-up fellow with a wealth of knowledge that will provide you with something you will be proud of.

Clips here of Mike Fortin's Meathead on Channel 6 through a Mills Acoustics Afterburner 412B. These clips were reamped in a time of less than 10 minutes in DARE STUDIOS (a noisy, untreated rehearsal room, under mediocre conditions) through a $300 dollar recording interface and still sound awesome and representative of the amplifier:

Please, feel free to PM me with any details or questions you may have. I am willing to talk for hours upon hours and I refuse to disappoint.

Ugh..................you need management bro

You forgot to mention that you have access to several major flame throwers that you can also call in for different styles of play to showcase your clients amps.




When you want my services, let me know

That is a great idea. I hope you get some responses.

All kidding asside. Greg whipped up that clip in the last 10 minutes while people were talking in the studio and playing my axe-fx in the corner.

 

[lolzgreg]

I work well under pressure

LOL!

That's a brilliant idea! This could be very beneficial for you and us! Awesome amp clips galore! I doubt Larry will be requesting your services.

Not to mention a somewhat solid metal guitarist who can whip up some decent DI's if you want the uber-br00tz haha.

I told Larry if he wants awesome clips of his amp, he's got to send me one. He said he didn't have one on hand Larry said his amp sounds a billion times better than my clips of it under the same conditions as everyone elses amp I recorded at ampfest. I would love to hear it happen, and I'm sure if I had it in my possession I could make it happen.

I think the best candidates for this are ones on both sides of the fence: The side of the fence where I love their amps already and will make them growl and sing or the manufacturers who I'm not a huge fan of at all and want to prove to the world that user error/engineer error is the cause for my or anyone else's disgruntled opinion.

This is pretty much a deal that no one should pass up. Anyone here who is interested could talk to my current boss. I've been working for him for 5.5 years and he knows I am an incredibly honest fellow with the best intentions.

I think you did an outstanding job. Especially given the circumstances.

Thanks

If it makes any amp builders feel better about sending him gear, Greg sent me his ESP to try out with a no questions asked return option before cashing the check I sent. I did end up letting him cash the check.

I would do business with him again without hesitation.

 

[K Odell]

Yeah I am gonna go ahead and jump in and say Greg is a solid dude. He has been ridiculously helpful to me. And very patient with my dumbass. Great all around guy to work with.

 

[Bob Savage]
