Pedals, Plugs, Cables... and modern music

Chucky repaired the tape recorder ! Hail to "the Chuck" !
Today, the studio looks like a cables store. XLR, jacks, USB, SCSI, simple plugs, cables that I didn't even know the name nor the existence... What a mess ! Little green lights, red buttons, digital numbers... This is modern music, bad ass ! Without electricity, we're tiny tiny boys...
The most impressive things among all that stuff are the strange pedals, the weird pre-amp, the effects that Ross brought to try on our instruments. This is the Robinson touch. But at the end, the goal is only to reveal the great southern MOPA sound ! The one we look for since the beginning. The one we begin to work on with Baptiste B., the guy who made our first EP (hello guy !). The one we define during this summer with Ross as mentor. Something unusual (we hope) and personal.
On the 2 videos, you'll see Ross, checking his little tricky pedals with Lil Bush, his assistant, and then, giving his last advice to Yohan (here, on "Die For Me"), cause he wants him to begin to record drums now, cause, as he said about Yohan : "he's on fire...".
Let's burn

At last ! I have a quasi three-dimensional vision of Ross ! I know what he's looks like now, after almost 8 year listening his CDs ! Personification of a entity... don't put out Yohan !!!
