Apparemment le séjour à LA sera bref et l'enregistrement aura bien lieu dans les UK

unshine ?
Well….In Los Angeles waiting for a flight home like thousands of others…Volcanoes eh? How easily we all move around without giving it too much thought…
Got away for a bit yesterday and spent a few hours racing a Honda 450 round a motocross track at Milestone MX, which I thoroughly recommend - a great way of shaking out the stresses of touring…..although driving 70 miles through a storm on the freeway coming back is not entirely relaxing......
We have been over here in the US for a month now and just finished a 9 date tour with Atoms for Peace, ending with a very long and hot day at Coachella festival here in California, mental changeover with all the lighting crew putting stuff together along with monitor and backline departments trying not to get tangled up with each other... a great show with a happy crowd!... tuning very difficult for most of the show as the only place to be was directly behind the PA speakers so all guitars vibrating like hell sending my tuners daolali.......
A few questions answered… regarding feedback problem with Gibson 330, either try getting less volume through the monitors in front of you which may be causing it or experiment with standing in different positions relative to speaker cab, also you can try putting a small amount of foam inside the guitar body to break things up a bit………Re wiring a Strat will not help get a warmer tone from it - you could try replacement pickups - some of the humbuckers have more squat pickup coils that will not be as trebly as the taller ones…. Kent armstrong in the UK knows his stuff and is helpful……..Thom's current stage amps are 1962 Vox AC30's…. they sound far better than the new ones and are much more reliable not least because of the inherent strength of point to point wiring rather than the more fragile printed circuit boards, good quality valves also help a great deal, the cheap ones are false economy and can quickly become a nuisance….the old Voxes are jolly expensive now and hard to find….
Hopefully back in UK on Sunday as there is much to do in the studio next week - oh and sleep of course )…… pic of focusrite desk.
