This week I wanted to follow up on last week's guitar-driven track. At first I thought I'd try the Alesis DM5 for drums, but I was pulled back to the grit of the Roland D-110. I've had that synth since about 1999 and never really used the drums, but I think it might become a go-to during this year. At least it should have a few more tunes left in it.

Bass is once again the Matrixbrute. So far I've used the same bass patch that I've modified a little for every week. I originally made it on the Minibrute 2, which has no preset storage, so I'm glad i remade it on the Matrixbrute before moving those knobs.

Guitar is the Godin Session, through Moog MF Drive followed by Barber Small Fry (rhythm, and comp during second half) or EHX Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi (lead), then the EHX Deluxe Memory Boy.

Catchy melody! I like that last bend that's kind of sad, going in to a happy chord.

Love the lead guitar tone! This rocks and has a great energy.
