For all of these recording (except 'Teletubby' and 'No Way At
All') I have used
backing tracks that were generously supplied
by friends on the
Swedish
GMF discussion forum (Mats Nermark, Alain Senocq et al). I am very grateful for the work they
did!
Most recordings have been made with my
Zoom MRS-1266 digital portable studio. Unless noted, the takes were made using
the
internal amplifier emulations and
rhythm section provided by the Zoom unit. For
the genuine
tube amp recordings I have
used a
Shure SM57 microphone.

blackface'd and power scale'd Fender '78 Vibrolux Reverb amp equipped
with a
pair of Weber C10Q speakers, a
pair of Svetlana 6L6GC output tubes and a 5AR4 tube rectifier. The Power
Scaling electronics
allowed the power tube anode voltage (B+) to be adjusted from 420 V down to 10
V.
