First Zoom R8 recording - Cherub Rock

Here is the first recording using the Zoom R8 MultiTrack RecorderCherub Rock in a studio jam. I used the onboard distortion and did not try the footswitch input, so the intro is full on distortion.



Picked up the unit on Yahoo! Auction for 12,000 JPY plus 800 jpy shipping. It came with all the included items with original box, cubase cd and the sd card.

PedalBoard using BOSS RC-2 Loop Station & OC-2 Octave

I bought a Boss RC-2 Looper for practicing at home. Before I just used Boss-DD-7 or TCE Flashback looping feature, but was sold by some YouTube videos showing the Looper. I want to buy the RC-3 because of the larger sampling capacity, however this RC-2 was available for 5000 JPY plus 510 shipping. I put the Octave OC-2 in front of it to sample in bass riffs for jamming. The white box is a diy dirt box that includes a MP-Sweet Honey OD >> MIA CruchBox >> BJFE Arctic White Fuzz. The case is a Buffalo Router Box I bought for 108 JPY in Akihabara. I just gutted the inside and loading it with dirt pedal hardware. When I stomp the MP-SHOD, instead of bypass it is output to the Boss TU-70 tuner. I plan to make a TapTempo box for the RC-2 like the Dual Boss FS-6U with a stereo jack.

Bought these two cases for 610 yen plus 510 shipping.

And these three for 630 yen plus 510 shipping.

I plan to build them up and perhaps sell a few to cover some of my own project costs.

Ibanez RS100

Picked up this one on tokyo cl for 20,000 yen. I sold the pickups for 13,000 so now looking for some ibanez pickups to replace and back into working order. The frets need replacing so I figure I can use this beater as a learning  project guitar.
