Re: The Black River Drive thread.

Sounds great! I like your voice Sam, you've got a great gritty/smoky rock thing going on. That should be a fun track live too, I’ll bet. Thanks bro. It is a banger live though it's relatively demanding (in that it's demanding in comparison to our other material but it's not exactly Meshuggah). It w...

Re: The Black River Drive thread.

That's a BRD track?? Everytime I hear it on the radio I think it's a Daughtry song.... [/stirring] Difference being, old Chris D's songwriters borrow rather too heavily from other people.

Re: Analogue delays with tap tempos - recommendations?

a workmate of mine is looking for an analogue delay with tap tempo. I think MXR do one which he's already tried and didn't like. I'm a bit clueless when it comes to analogue pedals, haha. Does anyone have any recommendations I can pass along? Hi I don't mean to come across old and cynical but I rec...

The Eversons - Could it ever get better

Re: NAD: Popping my Vox cherry
