Notes:
All sounds were recorded in a direct wet/mic'd dry configuration. The guitar went into a POD® HD500, and afterward the XLR outputs of the HD500 were sent to a pair of homebrew Neve® mic preamps. The preamp outputs were sent into a new AVID HD IO audio interface, and on into Pro Tools® HD.

The HD500 was also connected to a DT25™ head over L6 Link™. Only the dry preamp signal was sent to the DT25, which was sent out of an older VHT 4x12 cabinet loaded with Celestion® Vintage 30's, and mic'd on the bottom with an AEA R92 ribbon mic. The mic went into an EMI REDD47 tube mic preamp, then into the AVID HD IO, and then into Pro Tools® HD.

No effects were added in post after recording -- all effects came live from the HD500, and were mixed with the mic'd dry cabinet signal. The exception to this occurred in the case of the acoustic guitar samples, where only the direct feed from the HD500 was used, with no amp modeling enabled.

Amps used were custom-built on the fly, mixing and matching amp parts using the preamp and tone stack from the HD500, and the variable tube power amp section on the DT25 head.

Not in an offensive way and not complaining but is he the only guitarrest at Line 6?

@komobabo Hi, Actually the majority of the company is filled with guitarist, but one of Sean's important functions here at Line 6 is to provide great tutorial, tips and deeper looks into the products. While many of the other guitarist here are in many other departments, doing all different kinds of jobs :D

Actually, it's a Korean version - it comes in either tobacco or cherry burst, or the black - all three with wood binding.

[vjclaus111]

is the CSB a US model? it´s very beautiful, i wish mine has this finish

[bizcad]

Personally I think Sean's vocabulary of techniques it huge. He really knows how to get sound out of a guitar rather than just playing notes.

@davemis40

All these vids are done with Korean guitars - I can't convince anyone at HQ to get me an American one :-)

It doesn't really matter, since the Korean guitars are so great (as you can tell from the four new Variax videos that are now online).

Check out the other four to see more versions of the guitar - and I hope all that helps answer your question!

[davemis40]

Exactly which guitar is this ? Korean or USA built ?

[davemis40]
