Booked some time at a studio here in Vegas:
http://nationalsouthwestern.com
I am looking at doing a VERY ambitious session. I have about 6 weeks to prepare and am VERY excited. My goal is to get THE most comprehensive set of Quick Rod profiles available now and, well... give them away! LOL!
Here's the plan:
• Spend the next few weeks dialing in sounds for both my G&L Asat (tele) and Mammoth Custom Les Paul
• Settings for all 3 Gears and both OD1/OD2
• Create very thorough spreadsheet of all settings BEFORE going to the Studio
• Settings with my Boost/Dirt/Fuzz pedals
- Black Arts Black Forest (Colorsound Overdriver Based)
- Black Arts Witch Burner (TS9 based)
- Black Arts Pharaoh (Muff based with SI/GE transistors)
- Mojo Hand Sacred Cow (Klon based)
- Dunwich Cthulu (Fuzz Face based)
- PLX Effects Treble Booster
- ProCo RAT ('93 w/LM308 chip)
- Skreddy Perestroika (Russian Muff based)
- Skreddy Lunar Module Deluxe
- RimRock PT Drive (TS based)
I have 4 hours booked now but may make it a bit longer. Sending the engineer a bunch of vids about the profiling process, manuals, etc so he can do some homework as well. They have also offered to let me profile all their amps (time permitting). They have some Dr. z stuff, old Marshalls, etc.
Here is a gear list that they have. Some REALLY nice pics.

I will just throw this out there but if anyone has anything they'd like to request I will see what I can grab from a mic/preamp perspective. Like I said, I am going "Mild to Wylde" on these and will get clean to rock to brutal.
Here's my baby in all her splendor and glory!
