Taking in the recycling


Isaac's guitar tech of the last three years, Brian Watson, has been kind to this site.

Most recently, we asked him what effects, if any, Isaac was using on the band's recent release "Whale Song". Here's his nearly unedited reply.

"those pedals are pretty much the same as used on these recent live tours; the boss PS-5 is one of the only pedals being used in that song. i think he recorded some overdubs with a '64 fender deluxe, but not sure, and don't know what johnny was using on that. for as much as is going on in that song, there aren't that many effects on isaac's parts. that part and maybe 1-2 others were recorded in the studio, the rest were tracked in isaac's home studio. many of the songs on the new EP feature outtakes from the "good news" sessions that have been re-written, including some recycled DDBB [Dirty Dozen Brass Band?] parts."

Some rad video of PS-5 in action.

Good to know ... wondering if Isaac's "home studio" is actually home to Glacial Pace Recordings. One has to assume ...
