Les Paul and da Rhodes.

Tracked guitar solo's and Rhodes piano last night with Peter Peters.

It went really nice. For two of the guitar solos we used the 65 Fender Bassman with an SM57 mic running directly into the API micpre. For the third we used the 66 Ampeg Jet for a more clean jazzy sound. Peter used his old Gibson Les Paul.

BTW Mr. Les Paul died yesterday aged 94! . He was a musical genius and was responsible for many of the recording techniques that we use today. And of course the electric guitar. RIP.

WE then tracked the Rhodes piano on two of the songs. Both songs we used the Fender Bassman amp. One clean with a little chorus and the other really dirty with the TS808 Tube Screamer. As usual the Rhodes was lovely For a 30 year old instrument she really sounds lush.

Sunday is final vocals for these three songs. Peter and I are really looking forward to this.
I will be using almost a complete Lucas rig for vocals besides for the micpre that will be API.
The mic is the now world famous Lucas CS-1 LDC Tube microphone into a Lucas Limiting Amplifier (Tube Compressor) into a Lucas Tube EQ.

Its going to be fun.
