CONTEST: BR-80 Autographed by Marty Friedman
Ends June 31, 2014
Marty and the BR-80…
In Marty’s experience, if you stick a simulated sound in the right place within a mix it could be just as good or even better than just using the amp tone. Marty uses the BR-80 Digital Recorder like the GS-10 and GT Effects Processors – for the preset sounds. As an example of his use of simulated sounds Marty referenced his guitar solo in the song “Viper” off his Loudspeaker album in which he’s dueling with Steve Vai using the GT processor. Marty explained that simulated tones tend to stick out more than using an amp on top of another amp on top of another amp, which makes an engineer’s life in the studio a lot easier.
Inferno…
Marty’s Inferno has taken more planning than anything he’s ever done as he aims for it to be a landmark in his career. In an interview with BOSS’ Gary Lenaire, Marty passionately explains what this record means to him.
I wanted to take the intensity of everything I’ve ever done and kick it up about a thousand notches, it is absolutely the sickest thing I’ve ever done. Whether that’s good or bad, I don’t know. It is definitely not commercial; it’s definitely just me being as sick as I could possibly ever be. Everything that people probably would hope that I would have done will be done in spades in this record. –Marty Friedman
Undertow…
To our delight and to the fans in attendance at the 2014 NAMM show, Marty gave us a preview of Inferno with his performance of “Undertow” in our booth.
