L.A. SOUND DESIGN VINTAGE STUDIO RACK TONES WITH TIM PIERCE.

Here is fun video of Tim and I reminiscing about the gear and the tones used in the L.A. Studios in the 80’s and 90’s. I also try emulate similar rack sounds with some of today’s coolest pedals. The rack used was built for my friend Alex Llorens. Alex like myself is a huge fan of the early rack tones of Michael Landau, Dann Huff, Steve Lukather and Tim Pierce. He began collecting all the pieces in 2013. The goal was to build the ultimate vintage studio rack. The signal chain is as follows: Custom rack interface with . buffer input, vol S/R, wet vol S/R XLR outs with grd lift----Axess GRX4 (L1 S/R to Myasnikov X88 preamp----L2 S/R 1975 Marshall 100 Watt Head Fortin Jose Mod----RJM Effect Gizmo (L1 DBX 160x---L2 Audioarts 4100 EQ----L3 Rocktron Hush IIC Rocktron Hush IIC S/R------Stereo Loops L9 Fultone TERC----L10 Klark Teknik BBD-320----L11 TC1210----wet vol S/R---CAE Mixer Chan.1 in 1-----EXP out-----RJM SND to L5 Lexicon PCM 42 L/R----L6 TC 2290---L7 Yamaha SPX-90----L8 Ev
