In an SOS mag article, they say Nashville session guitarists tend to mix their own tracks on input. The engineer has very little to do. I guess that's fine if you're a tone hound with a stack of pedals you know how to use. Sounds like you, Herb.



I use a POD2 on maybe half the electric guitar work I do these days. It's so much quicker and quieter. Works well when my wife is watching TV.

I like good tone and by that definition, perhaps I'm a tone hound..... but I don't use but just one pedal and it's a bit of a cleaner sounding preamp/gain thing. Other than that, it's straight into the POD or the Mesa.

How do I spell TONE? M.E.S.A. (Studio Boogie 22w)
