Two notes’ mission: Get in on that action!

The all-important venue for this audacious of captures: Mana Recording. Based in the heart of Florida, it’s a veritable hot-bed for Metal production, having played host to Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Krisiun, Goatwhore, Soilent Green, Madball, Agnostic Front, The Mountain Goats, Activision’s Guitar Hero and MTV Games’ Rock Band to name but a few. Fusing pro-grade recording peripherals, a stellar mic collection and killer live room to boot, all the hallmarks of a standout capture were primed from the get go!

When we say Erik’s cabinet collection is expansive, we weren’t kidding. Settling on 5 next-gen captures was a trial unto itself, but what we’ve unearthed is nothing short of bonafide Grade-A tone for all your heavier sonic exploits. From a 1960B-inspired Greenback loaded powerhouse, to a Recto®-inspired V30 tonal behemoth – lest we forget a JCM900 4×12 outfitted with well-worn-in G12T-75s – everything you demand for a articulate, defined and outlandish tone is primed for tooth-and-nail full-throttle sonics!
