Notes
Studio recording (2019) for 'Blessed Be'. Mike Stringer used the Aristides 070SR with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, tracked through the Neural DSP Archetype: Nolly plugin for all heavy tones. No evidence of physical amp or cab used for the final tone. Quad Cortex is used live, but not for this recording.
