Chris is back from his touring duties and finally we got a chance to lay down the guitars for the Glass Plastiks up-coming record. Don't let the looks fool you, this kid is full of rage when it gets to playing that thing. This guy has a hard-core mean in-your-face tone; full of angst and fury. It doesn't take him more than a take to have everyone in the control room at awe.
We had two amps set up: a Mesa-boogie in the booth and a Fender Twin Reverb in the room. We pretty much settled for the latter for the most part. I set up two of the new broadband absorbers on the sides to get a more focused sound on the close mics. I miked the front with a Royer R-121 a little off-center from the cone and the back with a SM57. Also, I had my AT4050 some 4 feet away to get the room sound. It was blasting!
Don't forget to check out the Glass Plastiks' cool sounds when it comes out!!
