My 1979 Peavey T-40 sounds has become quite the hit at the studio. Its back-breakingly heavy, but has an incredibly consistent bottom end and super punchy mid character that helps it poke its head out of a mix. Also thanks to the skills of @zereyno re-fret and setup, it plays great too!
Loved @adam.mitchell.toro @reverendguitars Sensei so much I had to grab one in silverburst!
Sad to say goodbye to these guys yesterday. We've spent the best part of a month working on their debut album and I'm incredibly excited with what we have achieved. Still blows my mind they travelled all the way from Atlanta to do this, but very grateful for the opportunity and I'm excited to see where it takes them. Love you guys like family @toro.official ❤️ Look out for their record later this year on @nuclearblastusa 🤘
Absolute pedal mayhem over the past few weeks with @toro.official Gonna miss these dudes when we are all done! ❤️
@dom.wright96 is on brand today
Day 8 with @toro.official at @ranchproductions 🏜️
This kit sounds as good as it looks 😍 drum tracking with @toro.official
Still can’t quite wrap my head around how cool this is, but I am SO stoked to be working with @toro.official on their debut album for @nuclearblastusa over the next month. These guys have flown over from the US of A 🤯 #Repost @toro.official ・・・ On our way to London to record our first full length at @ranchproductions. We’ve put everything into these songs and cannot wait to finally bring them to life. More soon!
Awesome day yesterday with the absolute drum monster that is @eddythrower 17 tracks including setup all in one day! 👏👏👏👏👏 Go watch him smash it with Busted on tour this month 🤘
Very busy few weeks working on some incredible music with some of my favourite artists. Here’s my floating head measuring mic distances. #content
Lovely ole workhorse console/mouse mat.
My good friend Matt is the best around for all your guitar setup and luthier needs. Can’t wait to use this on some records this year! #Repost @zereyno ・・・ My pal @lewjohns bought this 1979 Peavey T-40 for a very good price a few months ago - it needed a bit of work; firstly a refret, then the fingerboard stained and refinished to match the colour of the existing finish - the old finish was extremely ‘chippy’ and couldn’t be saved, sadly. Then a good ol’ fashioned dollop of TLC. I’m pleased to get this back to him ready to start its new life making seductive bass tones on your (and the rock press’) favourite heavy records!
Nice to have old friends back in the studio today. @dan.northwelding and @sonewyetfading and myself have played in various bands together and recorded at @ranchproductions over the last 10 years or so. Today Dan wrote and recorded 3 drum tracks, and was done all by 3pm after not drumming for 2 years! All in a days work for this bloody machine!
Having a great time working with @damncargo and forgot how rad this Fender Bassman is 😍
Day 4 @renouncedhc 📷 @danielwaverleygray
First session of the new year and @renouncedhc are in recording LP3. Using my new @gretschdrums Bell Brass and there’s plenty of room so I squeezed a 57 and 414 in front of it. Sounds righteous (and very very loud!)
Hello friends! The studio is looking very very busy already for 2019 and I’m booking from around late March/April onwards for bigger sessions. I can however squeeze in some mixing or smaller production projects beforehand. For enquires email info@lewisjohns.co.uk 🤘🤘🤘 Selected photos by @craigtaylorbroad
