Hello - Lead Guitarist from Unsigned Rock Band "Driven"

Post by banddriven »

Hey Everyone,

Just discovered this board and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Eric, lead guitarist and singer for an original rock band called Driven in Maryland USA. You can check out our stuff on SoundCloud here: https://soundcloud.com/drivenbandmd.

My current rig consists of a 1985 PRS Custom, 1979 25th Anniversary Strat, and 1974 Les Paul plus an assortment of Marshall and Mesa Boogie amps. Looking forward to meeting other musicians and learning tricks of the trade.

-Eric

What's up banddriven. I just lost my band recently and now I'm an unsigned solo artist playing with myself. :) So far, it's going really well.

I rock, an Ibanez JS-1000 into a Laney VH100R with some pedals in between. The amp is pushing a 2x12 with WGS BL-80's.

Welcome.

Thanks @Casey4s @skybluegary @Mike LX-R. I love this board already! Nice to find fellow musicians and gear heads.

Btw, has anyone ever tried the Bad Cat Unleash attenuator/re-amplifier? I've read some great reviews but it's a little pricey so I wanted to check around a bit before I shelled out $500 for one. Thinking of using it in the studio for a Satriani-like instrumental I just wrote. Cranking the Marshall double stack to 8 or 9 might scare the engineer :nono: :nope: :nlisten:
