Vanilla gorilla

[FrankD77]

The second track in the Gorilla series.
Sometimes you find a melody that can work in different settings. This is the second track in the Gorilla series

First track I used a re-amp box.
Amps used :
Synergy : XTC, KTC3, VAI
Marshall DSL20

Main tone : Synergy XTC, 2x Vai all blended together

ENGL 920/100 vintage power amp
Slate digital microphone SM57/R121 blend
Digitech S400, X32, Sonic Maximizer, Edison, MDX1000

I wrote an article about the re-amp box use on my blog : https://frankdoorhof.com/music/2026/07/10/a-re-amp-box/

Hope you enjoy the track as much as I did creating it

Good tune Frank. I know it isn't the mixing clinic, but you might want to tame the cymbal at the beginning. Sounds fine when the other instruments hit, just pops out there when the intro and other quiet parts.

Nice tune.

Correct i agree.
Tried to get a more live feel in the drums. Over did it slightly

Very cool. Frank! Great tones, and I like that neat little chord at 1:00 and 1:09.
