Hey all this is my first recording I'm throwing up here. You can either download from the above link or the one at the bottom of the post. It kind of reminds me of (The) MELVINS.

Anyway here's a rundown of the equipment I used to record in the exact order of my signal chain. (That means this is exactly the order the equipment goes in from guitar to pedals to amp [ex. Guitar plugs into Boss Pedal plugs into Amplifier Head plugs into Speaker Cabinet]) Included are pictures of each item. Right now these are just descriptions enough for you to understand what these things do. When I get bored enough each one will have it's own full description and review.
1. Below is a Squier Stratocaster Guitar Tuned to D (Hey I know its not a Fender but don't knock it it sounds good and its the only right-handed guitar in my house that has a new-ish set of strings on it.)
2. Below is a Boss Bass Overdrive ODB-3 (I know it says bass on the pedal. Don't freak out on me, it can be just as usable for guitar. I myself, actually find it more useful for guitar frequencies. Buzz from The Melvins seems to agree.
From Wikipedia: "Osborne primarily uses Gibson Les Paul guitars from the 1960s and 1970s played through BOSS effect pedals and variety of vintage amplifers and cabinets."
"Effects: Boss TU-2 tuner pedal, BOSS Overdrive pedal, BOSS ODB-3 Bass Overdrive pedal, Pro Co RAT Distortion")

P.S.-If you check out the gear section of his page you'll see he uses Sunn Amps from the 70's as well
3. Below is a Tech 21 VT Bass (This thing is the pedal version of almost all Ampeg SVT Amplifiers. Yeah yeah yeah, you're not supposed to use those for guitar either. Sue me!)
4. Below is a familiar friend from yesterday, a Sunn Concert Bass Amplifier & Sunn 215B Cabinet (These things are old therefore they were built to actually be good at doing what they're meant to do. Can't say the same for a lot of things coming off of assembly lines today. Anyway, what I'm driving at is that these things amplify the sounds you put through them. Unlike wussy bass amps of today's world they work good for: guitar, bass, keyboard, amplified tuba, basically WHATEVER you put through them.)
5. Below is a picture of the microphone I used to record this session. It's a Rock Band USB Mic. (It can make the recording sound a little Lo-Fi but it can be used to good effect.)
6. Then the mic is plugged into the computer and the music is brought into the digital world for you lovely people out there.
P.S.-This track is uncompressed so it should start playing as soon as it is finished downloading.
