Alen Geere LoverDrive: Kid C.

Kid C with a Alen Geere's LoverDrive using a Fender Blues Jr. and Tele (bridge pickup).

The settings are:

Amp: 98 Fender Blues Jr. with a Celestion G12H30 speaker, master 12, volume 5, bass 9 mid and treble both 8, reverb 3.

Guitar: 01 American Series ash bodied Stratocaster, with a rosewood neck. Yet, the bridge pickup is a Duncan Jerry Donahue tele lead pickup, so this is not an average strat.

The recording is done with a Shure Beta 57 mic and EMU1616m soundcard (and I have used its effects).
