Hey there!
Thanks for dropping by, its always nice to correspond with fellow guitar players from around the globe. And yes, Paul Gilbert was a big influence on me too, I remember when I first heard him with racer x, I couldn’t believe how fast, clean, and aggressive his playing was. Street lethal is still one of the bestall-time shred guitar albums around.
About my sound: All the songs from The Wrath of Con were recorded on different dates within a 6 year period, but the method has always been similar though. I recorded all the songs direct with a really old Turbo Rat pedal along with a Boss overdrive pedal, no amp; except for the tiny little mixer I used to EQ my sound! The guitar I used on all the songs is a cheap left-handed Yamaha Pacifica which goes for about $300.00 Canadian.
About a week ago I was in a music store shooting avideo and I decided to try some of their amps just to see what’s available. I went through a few Marshalls and a few different Laneys but was not impressed a tall. I mean those amps sounded pretty good, but it’snot the sound I was looking for. One of the clerkssuggested I plug into this small 75 watt line 6 amplifier; I was completely blown away from the tones I was hearing. I’ve played through some heavy ampsbefore but this amp was heavy, chunky, and above all,really clear; even with the enormous gain on it. I placed a sure 57 in front of the speaker and shot the entire video with the line 6 spider III.
I’m actually going to send line 6 the video and hope to land an endorsement with them; even if it’s just for the spider III family. I want to record my new material with that amp.
I hope this information helps
Take care and thanks for inquiring

I mean somehow I've managed to fluke my way through GCSE's and AS' with minor revision. Thing is it's myself being injury prone that stops me playing.
