Visit of students from Armeria Eskola This week I had a pleasant visit from electronics students from Armeria Eskola in Eibar. They’re studying the application of electronics in audio, and the teacher proposed a challenge. This challenge is about making a guitar pedal (or perhaps more accurately, an instrument pedal, because it could be used for other instruments). The initial proposals ranged from a germanium…
Vintage Gear Tour with Endika Recently, Endika contacted me, a guy who likes blues, rock, hard rock, pop… with substance. He contacted me because he’s thinking of renting several amps to have good presets for his Kemper. The fact is, he told me he was pretty sure he wanted the original ’63 Vox AC30 and the original ’68 Marshall Plexi that I have for rent.…
Jose from El Desván del Macho recording vocals & guitars I have the pleasure of recording the vocals and guitars for this surreal project based on the pandemic. El Desvan del Macho is a band I’ve known for many, many years, having heard them on the radio, and even then I found it interesting, although my musical paths were in a completely different direction.

Then you have to organize the…

He is Catalan but with deep Basque roots, always trying to practice his beloved Basque. It is always a pleasure to be part of your adventures. This has been a small last minute detail that he thought of inserting into his…
Trying a Russian Fuzz A Russian fuzz has come into my hands to review and tune up from a customer, so it seems to be working all the time and the effect should be able to be turned off. We will try to provide a solution to the problem. It is a vintage Russian fuzz, which in addition to fuzz is wah and tremolo (although…
Electric guitar arrangement on song “Zurekin” by Bulego Every now and then a song grabs me or I just start playing around with the arrangements that come to mind. They tend to be songs that don’t have saturated electric guitars or to which I want to give another approach. And along the way I show a little what I am capable of offering as a…
