Today's #Jamuary prompt is: "a 'one-hit' sample (<500ms) triggered only and then processed with as many delays /channels / FX as needed to make a 3 minute piece" submitted by @sivko-burko.bsky.social

I've completed my studio setup/patching for my new album, which is already in progress. The piece de resistance is a Manley Core channel strip. It quickly helped make the best clean electric guitar sound I've ever gotten. (Audio proof via some noodling)

Elec gtr --> Manley Core bussed to Ursa Major Stargate --> MXR Layers pedal

Also interesting: there is ZERO buzz or hum from my guitar when it runs through the Manley. This is the best preamp I've ever owned.
