.: CUSTOM AUDIO BOUTIQUE

Our primary objectives when recording the soundclips below for the C7 were to capture its versatility in its stock setup and to capture an accurate representation of how the amp performs in the studio environment. Our secondary objective was to hear how clearly the amp reproduces the difference in sound between various valves and guitars. The recordings were done in three hour session at Auckland's Studio 203 using two microphones simultaneously - an industry-standard Shure SM57 and an AKG C414B.
