Marshall All Tube Guitar Combo Amp/Speaker

We'd like to welcome the legendary name of Marshall all-tube guitar amplifiers into Sound Weavers Recording Studio. We have received an all tube Marshall (Triple Super Lead) TSL 122 guitar combo.

I plugged in my Peavey Predator guitar yesterday and man... I mean MAN... WHAT A PALLETTE of sounds this guitar amplifier is - from super sweet clean to super crushed distortions - and the feedback - feedback from a real tube preamp and tube power amp sections.

Top Drummer Dom Famularo says “RELAX”

Top drummer DOM FAMULARO held a drum clinic at Yupangco’s main office along Buendia Ave Makati City Philippines. DOM is an endorser of Sabian hand hammered cymbals and Vic Firth drum sticks.

Jimmy Luttrell - Guitar King

This weekend we were fortunate to have a very personal encounter with a great musician - JIMMY LUTTRELL is a multi-style, multi discipline guitar player - he's been recording guitars and vocals for a CD of self penned love songs that he will release soon.

Over casual chats, he slowly revealed the "guitar king" that he is, the projects and musicians he has been involved with and OH BOY - it was like a story telling session "HISTORY OF GUITAR and GREAT GUITAR PLAYERS" - straight of the horse's mouth. Among other things, he taught Jimmy Hendrix how to play behind the back guitar - NOW that was blast of a revelation to a music fan like me.

No hurry. Recording studio is coming together

This month of February has been hectic in a relaxed sort of way. Our expectations were in line that we will not be a 100% commercial operation yet, not even March... maybe April 1st (no pun).

While most of the studio's recording equipment are online and we have actually engaged on a few recording and tracking sessions. We are still waiting for a a few more pieces to complete the sound weaving puzzle that is Sound Weavers Recording Studio.
