The Once Over

Robert James

2023 50/90 Challenge idea #18 becomes completed mix number 5/50, which means we’re 10% finished with this summer’s project! WOOHOO!

The song isn’t terrible, I guess. It’s not good either. It’s kinda blah. Maybe heavy guitars might have pumped some life into it? Maybe the occasional cymbal crash? I think I might have gone a little too Peter Gabriel 3 here. Oh well.

All of the guitar tracks are a LesPaul Standard into a Fender Deluxe Reverb. Pedals on the rhythm tracks are a Klon KTR into an Analog Man King of Tone into an MXR Carbon Copy Mini. Leads used an MXR Phase 95 into a Way Huge Russian Pickle into the KTR.
