I bought the SR1.6AMP because I decided needed a six-string guitar with an Evertune bridge to make it easier to record clearer, more in-tune rhythm parts which would sit nicely in a mix with the synthesised instruments I use for orchestration. In particular, I wanted to try out the Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, since I’d heard that they were both very noiseless and also quite versatile. I figured that I’d try to put together a quick demo song, using as many different pickup settings as possible, as part of the process of figuring out how I can incorporate this guitar into my recording process.
The distorted rhythm guitars were recorded using Otto Audio‘s II II II II, and the lead guitars and clean rhythm are Neural DSP’s Plini plugin. The harmony guitars use Logic’s built-in guitar presets. The drums are Toontrack’s EZ Drummer with the Drumkit From Hell sound bank, and the bass is my Ibanez SRX700 recorded using Neural DSP Parallax.
