===== These are some unfinished, one take studio clips that a member hipped me to. I usually play through an unvarnished Peavy PA head with a Shure sm57... but here I was using the 57 with a boutique amp that resembles a Trainwreck amp. It is called a Shammrock, they are made in New Jersey by Frank O'Hearn and I highly recommend them if anyone is looking for a very high end amp.
