    New guitar day: Flaxwood (wood composite)

    New guitar day. I got myself a Flaxwood guitar, which is sort of a rarity in style of a science experiment: it's made of ..err. I don't know, they tell it better than I: "Flaxwood is an innovative new tone material that is created by breaking the grain structure of natural wood and...

    Got an audition for tomorrow

    They gave me seven songs I'm vaguely familiar with but never played. It's gonna be a long night! Yay, wish me luck!

    Dummy test of Ultrares and high res

    I did a super quick test: 1. play a DI track 2. reamp it through OH highres CB FN42 SS Studio vintage -ir 3. reamp it through the provided Ultrares version of the same. The Ultrares was 0.5db louder so I normalized them both. The only difference I catch is that the Ultra one sounds like it...
