Recording #acoustic tracks in the #studio today with the '77 Yamaha via the AT4033 mic. 🎙 🎚 The #strat, #distortionpedal and #amps look on forlornly in the background. 🎸 #labordayweekend #laborday #audio #music #capo #audiotechnica #yamaha #acousticguitar #guitar #recordingstudio #recording #producer #cle #kent #ohio #fender #fenderamp #fenderguitar #graffitiyellow #line6 #line6amp #stompbox #bosspedals #stratocaster

Here's a #guitar pedal you don't see too often, from the pre- @bossfx_us days, a @roland_us AP-2 / Phase II. 🎸 In addition to being a pretty #groovy #phaser, you can tell it's from the mid #70s because of the, uh..."unique color scheme" and it uses two #9volt #batteries ! ;) 🎹 (There's more #oddball pedals & synths to come) ♩ #roland #stompbox #guitarpedal #music #cle #clemusic #tank #uglybutcute #madeinjapan #gear #gearporn #japan

Vacation Day 8: Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer. In the late '90s / early '00s I used to have a live solo setup that fit inside a large #suitcase. It was #sweet. Inside was a Roland CR8000 drum machine clocking the @ehx feeding a @bossfx_us SYB-3 #bass #synth pedal and a #circuitbent #Casio #Rapman to play live on top. 🎹 Yes, it was as #goofy as your imagining right now -- but also really #fun and a big #challenge to make it work for 40 minutes. #drummachine #cr8000 #syb3 #synthesizer #guitarpedal #music #cle #clemusic #akron #kentohio #akronmusicscene #synths #electronicmusic #keyboard #roland #ehx #electroharmonix

Vacation Day 7: Librarians With Hickeys gig poster August 17, 2016. Part of my vacation time has been spent rehearsing for this show, a fun side project with Mike, Rob & Drew from Frigid Touch joined by long time friend @raycarmenmusic where we play each others back catalog, as well as some deep AM Gold tracks and a few FM nuggets. For example, we're covering Manfred Mann covering Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Lobo, Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose and even Guided By Voices. #akron #music #library #librarianswithhickeys #ellet #akronmusicscene #livemusic #guitar #bass #drums #am #fm #amradio #fmradio #amgold #nuggets #dylan #pinkfloyd #lobo #gbv #mannfredmann #pulp #deweydecimalsystem #dewey #iknowwheresydbarrettlives #coversongs

Vacation Day 6: Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal. While today is also my #wedding #anniversary, I've actually owned this longer than we've been #married. It is the only pedal that has survived every #gig from that very first show in #Akron and every joint from Chicago to CBGB's and back. 🕪 Quite simply, it is a beautiful orange tank that I can't live without. Much like my wife* ☡ * to clarify, my #wife is not an orange tank ;) 🎸 #guitarpedal #guitar #pedal #orange #tank #stomp #stompboxes #stompbox #rhymeswithorange #boss #bosspedals #cbgb #nyc #chicago #music #loud #distortion #ohio

Vacation Day 5 (Birthday Edition): This Brutal World. 🏢

Not a #beer today, but a #photography #book about #Brutalist #architecture that quotes J.G. Ballard, Joy Division, The Clash, Human League, Blur and Suede. Right up my (concrete) alley. ;)

Many good examples in #Akron, especially around the #UA #campus. Somewhere I have #photos from my #uni days.

Even Nathan Explosion would find this Brutal enough…

The new #phonebooks are here... oh wait, it's Drew's new #bass! Drew says "SWB-1 Bass, numbered 057, made by Scott Whitley (in the #UK). #Mahogany body with active #EMG #pickups that make it sound like an Alembic ---w/out the $5k price. #Maple neck with a 24 fret #Rosewood #fretboard. I think the #tuners are #Gotoh." http://www.scott-whitley.com/swb-1-standard/ #music #frigidtouch #gear #musicgear #cnc #fret #frets #bassguitar

A couple of people asked about Chris' #new #amp that was pictured at our gig Friday at the Symposium... it's a @Fender Mustang III V.2 100W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp. It sounded great on #stage! #guitar #fenderamp #fender #combo #cle #clemusic #Cleveland #mustang #fx #speaker #livemusic #frigidtouch #loud
