NEW Pete's Platnium Profiles - vintage fans take note

Been working on setting all this up for awhile, and can't really hold back anymore - I'm headed into a recording studio next week to work up some profiles.

Ok, not a big deal, right? Well...

Fellow who runs the studio has a list of recording credits a mile long and vintage gear to match. We're talking about incredibly rare stuff. Like.... a vintage RCA Tube recording preamp he got from Les Paul. Yeah, THAT Les Paul. Vintage Led Zep model Supro amps, and the same model of mics they used and such. This guy knows Eddie Kramer. He also owns a really stellar sounding '52 Tweed Princeton. When I was there I also saw a Cage custom guitar amp, lots more vintage amps, freaking AMAZING tube recording gear and too much stuff for me to even remember all of it or detail it properly. I'm taking a camera and will have lots of pics of this candy land for musicians.

So, I booked a session, we'll see how much we can get profiled and such. My main focus is going to be on getting some killer Zep profiles made first, then some of that Princeton and go from there until my time is up. I'm going to just scratch the surface of what he has, but it should be enough to at least make a killer pack of profiles. If they do well enough to recoup my costs, then I'll go back again and get some more rare stuff profiled.

I'm going to keep doing my 'regular' profiles - but I'd be a fool to not create profiles with the help of a guy who has decades of experience and amazing gear that you don't even see often in major recording studios.

Stay tuned!

VERY cool!

Is that an old airplane hangar, or a ballroom?

It's a really old warehouse in downtown Bixby, Oklahoma! Michael the studio guy has owned recording studios in New York City and Austin, among others. He did the first recordings of SRV. I'm going to try to keep my mouth shut and learn as much as possible while there. One of the things that I'm really excited about is how much experience and vintage gear he has, yet he wasn't put off or dismissive of the Kemper. I also made sure he was aware that my profiles we create are going to be resold up front - I'm just very lucky that someone like this is so close to my home.

When will you be able to show us a gear list ?

I'll have a list of the stuff I use on the profiles for sure, his full mic and preamp list is huge. I've done studio work before and am conversant with high end gear - this is a notch above. I know with enough money you can buy/find just about anything, but it would take incredibly deep pockets and a knowledge of what you're looking for to get stuff like this (and a time machine, he's been gathering this cool vintage gear for a long time.) I'll do my best to document as much as I can. His experience getting great guitar tones and the gear will make for some excellent profiles.
