As promised I took the Waves GTR Ground unit that was sent to me over to an actual guitarist's studio. Mark Ephraim is one of the best musician/producers I know.

He rides the g...
My friend Tal Shoshani at Waves asked me to take a closer look at GTR Solo and their large metal hardware unit GTR Ground. In the video above I discover I like GTR quite a lot. I run GTR through a few Roland TR-606 patterns, a synth line and my voice. Next week I will bring the GTR Ground to Mark Ephraim’s studio and let some real guitarist’s at it.

About two weeks ago I purchased a brand new Vermona DRM1 MKIII from Schnieders Buero in Berlin. I've had some time to play with it and am ready to report to you. These things are in demand and back ordered. It took almost three weeks for Vermona to deliver my DRM1 to Herr Schnieder.

The super fast attack time on the kick and snare make them snap and crack in a ...

The hands of Oliver Chesler, The Horrorist in his recording studio in Berlin, Germany using his Roland SH3 synthesizer. The Roland SH3 was produced in 1974. It is more rare than the SH3A which was put into the market after Moog sued Roland for the original SH3's filter design. This is one reason the Roland SH3 sounds so incredible. Rumor has it that less than 100 of these were ever made. You can hear pure Roland SH3 accompanied by an Electrocomp-101 in two songs from The Horrorist: Room of Pos...
