BlackHeart Amp Little Giant for Guitar
By Gary | April 10, 2008
This one is very cool. I got this video by toyhouse off of youtube. To me this is what it’s all about. Shows him (I’m assuming it’s a him, there is a hairy arm in the movie) unpacking, how he mics, the recording gear. Great song, great recording and production.
FORGET THE VIDEO I JUST MENTIONED, CHECK OUT THIS KILLER VIDEO:
The amp is by Blackheart Engineering, a subdivision of LOUD Technologies. Which owns Mackie and Crate I believe. It’s supposed to be a hot rodded version of the Epihone Valve Junior.
