Lodro’s gear and DIY recordings

Brooklyn's
Lodro sounds like a band with dangerous, dark intentions. On top of that, bassist and lead singer Lesley Hann (formerly of Friends) has the looks of one of those irresistible Pulp Fiction-style, not to be trusted female characters , while Jeremy Cox's guitar does whatever it takes to sound as sharp and out of control as a rusty knife in the hands of a psychopath. Since he recorded all the band's material (so far) in total DIY fashion, we asked him to shed light on Lodro''s recording habits.... Click on the title for more

Pedal News: The Verb Deluxe – Reverb Pedal Kit

New from MOD Kits DIY, The Verb Deluxe kit is built around the Belton Digi-Log Mini Module. I love DIY projects and intend on possibly building a few myself this year. It would be cool to build one and document the entire process for the blog. This may not be a bad one to start with, but the website and associated forum are very helpful and provide endless support and advice. It seems like there has been quite an influx of DIY pedal options sprouting up in the last couple years. Another good one is Build Your Own Clone. It is typically a good idea to gain a basic level of electronics knowledge and soldering experience before embarking on a project such as this, but the reward is typically saving some money and learning how to build your own gear in the process, which is pretty exciting if you ask me! - Gus Green...
