Thanks Billy! guitar is all my prs custom 22, the clean tones are axe FX III (orange ad30 model) distorted tones are real mesa roadster

Our boy Austin (All Aces Studio) did the recording/mixing/mastering for us, extremely affordable and he does great work!

Man if the AD30 clean model is that good, now I know why you were after the real head.

Sounds good dude! The roadster sounds killer. I'm surprised the snax does clean that well!

Thanks Raf!! The first time we recorded with this guy I was pretty resistant to the idea of using an axe fx for cleans but he talked me into it and I'm pleased with the results weve done the same deal with a couple other tracks we've recorded with him, snax for cleans and then real amps for higher gain tones

Sounds awesome. I didn't know you were this post-rock-ey/

Thanks man!! We're all over the place but the post-rock influence is definitely one of the bigger ones


The very earliest prototype version of this band when starting out during covid was originally going to be a strictly post rock/post metal thing but the scope morphed dramatically haha

The real AD30 is weird af. Just keep on using that exact setting on the Axe and avoid the AD30


I've owned 2 now and they're goddamn weird in a bad way. Both times they're single channel models and both times I moved them

This is awesome, really dig the hell out of this!!
Sometime I need to crawl out of my cave and come see you guys play.

Really sounds great, tunes and recording are fantastic.

sounds great dude.

Haha when I was in a feverish ad30 forum dive I reread all your ad30 saga

Although this model is based on channel 1 of the two channel version …….

Thanks man!!

And thanks haha, artistry by yours truly. Backstory… getting all three of us to agree on the things in. Timely manner is like bearding cats. We agreed on that name two weeks ahead of time and put together a whole psychedelic/illustrative concept for one of the artists we’ve used in the past, we had another artist on line befause he wasn’t responding then he finally did and we jumped the gun saying nevermind to them… then he said he was out of town and couldn’t do it in time

So we decided to double down on the pun doing a “bear minimum” napkin sketch lol
