"Oh, man... Well, I can't tell you guys because no one's heard it yet, but there's a lot of really awesome stuff that I'm really proud of that I wrote, that I'm just excited about. It's hard to explain; when I write a riff and I record it with a proper amp, which is always the Friedman amps...To me, it's when I get in the studio and I start recording it with my Butterslax amp, or the JJ, or the HPE, it's just fucking pure magic. The engineers are always like - for the past three-four records since I've been using those amps, [producer] Nick Raskulinecz, I remember I plugged in the JJ, he's like, 'Wow, what the fuck are you using man? And I think that's when he started hitting up Friedman, like, 'Hey, give me some free shit.' Like, 'What? Who are you?'. Yeah, shit's that good, it sounds good, sounds really good. So, I don't know, my favorite part is all the stuff that I've written, and once it hits tape with my favorite amps, and I know that it's because I'm a nerd, man. I have to hear it when it hits the tape, and it fucking captures what I'm hearing from my guitar to the amp to the speaker, I have to hear that translates to tape"
Good stuff and props to Friedman
