These sound clips were done by me (Glen) and/or my sons in my back workshop. I have never found that just sticking a Shure SM57 in front of a speaker ever really gave me a good representation of what the amp was like. What I wanted to capture was the 'sound' and character/feel that was heard by my ears and felt in the room while I was playing. These clips I believe are a very good representation of what was heard in the shop with me playing. Obviously everyone's speakers are different, but the comments I have had back tell me they work for most. I also wanted to show the 'versatility' of my amps and how much they let the guitar and the speaker show themselves off and your 'hands' of course. They were done on a Yamaha MD8 recorder with a bit of reverb added on some tracks only for a bit of ambience. More will be added as time permits. I have tried to cover a fair amount of styles on these - so please don't stop at one on a certain amplifier - the next one could be a totally different style. Enjoy.
