The Third Mark of a New year

Welcome back! Hope you all have a sick new year, and we all bring the tunes!
This past year I have actually been practicing! And proper practice, not just jamming, and I have a few goals I would like to achieve. One is my alternate picking, I have always struggled with mid single alternate picking apart form hyper tremolo picking, and Baroness's new album this year had a Gina solo that just ate my face with a picking style I just can't do, so something to work on.
Secondly is 2022 was going through all my pedals, this year its all AMPS baby!!!! I want to get through them all, and find the best tones possible from my whole collection.
My plan is to grab an amp, play around, get a tone and then write what happens with it.
I have used a bit of my time this past year getting my recording setup sorted, I re-jigged the whole room, set up a send and return rack and spent a decent amount of time checking mic and setup config.
So to start the year off with a blast (he he), a few months ago I found a second Mesa Mk3 that had a minor problem, got it fixed and now it joins its sister, this one is a different stripe and has the EQ (Mesa V for the win!) and was RIDICULOUSLY cheap.
Tubescreamer in front, carbon copy and TC G Major in the loop. One track I even used the Sonic Maximizer on as well. Such a brutal cutting tone. Still one of my faves of all time.

Great old school guitar tone and clean picking, and some really great riffs as well.!
