i did some recording (11 songs so far) and i tried a lot of presets, but ultimately it looks like i'm gonna go with my "singtall krunch 2" that i use for church service. i'm just used to the feel and volume control of my guitar changing the tone.

it's been fun tracking this project on untested gear. so far, i've had issues with the presonus mixer's firewire killing all sound when i boot up the pc, then my new snare mic kept intermittently popping/distorting, and of course i had to retune the drums at least once per hour because they were being hit so hard....and last but not least, my faithful purple frankenstrat won't stay in tune and intonate since it's tremolo upgrade a few weeks ago.

but all is well!
