Description

Today it's Last Chance on the Stairway. I'm playing the snarly SB-1010. She's cute and spicy, just like my beloved Pepper, may she rest in peace. ♥

This was recorded through a Clarett+ Octo Pre with the channel insert feeding a genuine AudioScape hardware Opto Comp. The Clarett+Octo Pre then feeds back into my trusty Apollo Twin USB via ADAT. Then, in Pro Tools, I used these plugins - UAD Massenburg MDWEQ5 (a very clean equalizer) to cut 160Hz by 1.5db and boost 80Hz by 1.5db, the Black Box Analog Design HG-2 to give it some warmth and crunch, a Softube "DBX 160" compressor for some extra leveling and punch, then another UAD LA-2A "Tube" compressor to "smooth n boost", a smidge of the ubiquitous Waves RBass, then lastly a pinch of SoundToys Microshift for subtle widening.
