Audio Clips

Audio clips are dry. No con job here. With the proper effects, the worst solid state amplifier in the world can be made to sound good. These clips are recorded with a Charvel Model 5 with a JB in the bridge and a Fender humbucker from a 95 HM Strat, a Shure 57 and Windows sound recorder. The mic is probably too close. Only one sample has echo, stage three almost full.
