In answer to Brown Noise Unit's question about what equipment Carlson used on the recording of Earth's 5th album Pentastar: In the Style of Demons: "I had an early Paul Reed Smith, the CE Bolt-on model if I remember correctly, courtesy of Sub Pop and the recording advance. The amp at the studio was a red Marshall JMP 100-watt head and two matching 4×12 cabinets, apparently owned by Ace Frehely at one point according to the studio folks."

Engineer Stuart Hallerman on recording the album Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version: 'Some things took me by surprise. After tuning up their guitars and getting a good roar going, it was time to get the first bass and guitar tracks; I walked back to the control room, and they followed me there and sat down and said it was time to roll tape [laughs]. The guitars were being played by EBows out there. Okay, interesting. I hit "record," and that was the bed of the first piece of music. Then they went back to retune their guitars and got the EBows going again and again followed me back into the control room. They said, "All right, that'll be our second track." I thought, "What have I gotten myself into here? This is going to be the most boring week on earth."'

"amazing gift from my mate @edwinpouncey (cant wait to get it sorted/up and running)"
