Okay, profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=5313616I used the RX ES on three of the songs that are on this myspace page, but the part on one of the songs is mixed so low (the song called Zash) that I'm not sure it's really worth listening to. The two songs where the amp is featured prominently are called "Have a Nice Flight" and "King and Robots". On "King and Robots" I play the lead guitar track that runs more or less throughout the song, and the stereo right rhythm track. Both are the RX ES with the FD2 and an R7 Les Paul. The amp volume was around 8:00 or 8:30. On "Have a Nice Flight" I used my 52 re-issue Tele through the FD2, and had the overdose on the amp engaged as well. This is the verse "riff" guitar. Finally, the outro solo has the FD2 on comp-cut mode, going into the BB preamp at a mid-gain setting, with the overdose engaged as well. I used a PRS for this. Any and all feedback is welcome; no comment is too critical. If you have suggestions about tone, phrasing, timing, or the mix in general, feel free to chime in. This is sort of a good test for me, as there are things with one of the mixes that really bother me. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else notices them, or I've just totally lost any sense of objectivity because I wrote that particular song.... Thanks, Chris

i enjoyed all the songs chris,, you guys sound really fresh, intelligent bass player, well thought out songs. ahh seattle,, nice singer,, this is good stuff,, you're probably being too critical. why not try a bit of free form rockin out, instead of every note in place.? you have every potential here, man.

Thanks a lot Sterling,
Much appreciated. The producer who recorded us had just moved to Seattle a month or so before we met him, and he gave us a very good deal. He actually recorded one of the songs for free.
Very nice people.
Thanks for your comments as well, cementman. Yeah, the producer is also a bass player, and he had some very helpful input on one or two songs. And Heather is definitely a great singer. She hadn't sung much rock and roll before, but I thought she really nailed the arena-rock attitude when she needed to, without going way over the top.
Thanks for the feedback,
Chris

Wow, Chris, that was awesome! Thanks for the pointer - I really enjoyed both, but "Have a nice flight" just rocked!

Hey Steve,
Thanks man. Have A Nice Flight is the one song the band played that I wrote, and I was flattered that they still wanted to use it after I quit.
It was definitely my attempt at a Zeppelin rip-off song, and I was really happy with the rhythm guitar sound I got. Probably the best tone I've ever had.
Plus having heard your clips, your words mean a lot. Thanks.
Chris

I was going to mention that Zeppelin "connection" I heard in there... Well done!
