This video began as a shoot for the A/DA GCS-6 Cabinet Simulator & DI, yet another brilliant piece of analog gear from the workshop of David Tarnowski’s A/DA. The CGS-6 is a true stereo version of the mighty CGS-5 – the mono version. You can view my demonstration of the CGS-5 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-2vIiYMJs. The CGS-6 is two of them in the same box. That means you can do things like run stereo effects into it and have two discrete cabinets panned left and right. Enter the awesome GFI System Specular Tempus Delay/Reverb.

Next to my high-end Fractal Audio gear, the GFI System Specular Tempus has some of the most lush and beautiful delay/reverb algorithms I’ve ever heard. Henry Widjaja is one of the new-breed pedal geniuses. I say that because everything he’s released thus far has been a little masterpiece. So the Specular Tempus was my choice as a perfect feed for the A/DA GCS-6.

Of course, I needed a preamp of some sort. Something to drive both of the aforementioned pedals. Robert Keeley’s brand new ARIA was on my desk, patiently awaiting attention. It’s being released on June 28th 2018. The ARIA features a fine compressor along with two shades of their best OD. Perfect!

The guitar is a 60’s Jag tribute built by a friend in Australia. It’s a fat-necked Jag with Mastery hardware and Lollar Jaguar Pickups. I love it.

You’re hearing me indulge with the guitar and the three pedals only. No other post processing save a little limiting was added. Apologies for the rough camera positioning over the pedals. It was a dummy shoot that sounded so cool in the morning I just had to go with it.
