Guitar: Epiphone Jared James Nichols “Gold Glory” Les Paul Custom(P90)
Signal Chain:
Green Movement (revamped): Electro-Harmonix Tri Parallel → Hudson Broadcast AP (volume and gain adjustments) → Electro-Harmonix Freeze → Behringer UV300 → GFI System Orca (slapback delay) → Blackstar HT‑1R → Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones
Session Notes:
Spent time shaping dirt textures using the Broadcast AP’s volume and gain knobs in opposing directions for nuanced breakup.
Orca slapback delay gave a subtle spaciousness without masking the Broadcast’s character.
Freeze held an E major drone, laying a harmonic bed to improvise over.
The Gold Glory’s P90s delivered a throaty, mid-focused grit that paired well with the Broadcast.
Played exclusively through DT770 Pro headphones, keeping the session intimate and controlled.
Mood/Impression:
The Gold Glory felt edgy but soulful, with the Broadcast AP acting as the core tone-shaper. The session had a raw, vintage blues-rock vibe that contrasted with the smoother voice of your Claptons, offering a more gritty, immediate feel.-
