McRocklin Suite
McRocklin was previously using a vast amount of hardware
and software to create his tones. It was a complex setup that
relied on over $3000 worth of software, multiple hardware
controllers, drive and compression pedals. Ultimately it became
unmanageable, there had to be a better way!
Thus the concept for the McRocklin Suite was born. The
McRocklin Suite is a selection of amplifiers and effect pedals,
tailored together to provide Production Ready Guitar Tones.
