Ginny Luke ginnyluke.com @ginnyluke is busy. In between performing with major artists like Nicki Minaj and Meat Loaf, recording with major artists like the Foo Fighters, Will.I.Am, the Black Eyed Peas and Britney Spears, she also tours with her electric string band SAGA Strings and has collaborated with Lyle Knudson on her own signature electric violin. She is currently working on an upcoming solo album with award winning drumer/producer Thomas Lang. With all that going on in her life, she still managed to squeeze in an afternoon to hang out with us here at ZVEX, talk about pedals, and make some noise. She was gracious enough to let us record some of it!
We recorded Ginny playing her signature model violin (available for purchase http://www.knudsonelectricviolins.com/ ) through our Mastotron fuzz, into a Marshall JTM45, mic’ed up by a Sennheiser e609. All of it captured on our shop's Pro Tools rig. Our Mastotron is primarily known to be a guitar and bass fuzz, but variable input impedance and flexible tone shaping ensure that the Mastotron is capable of handling a much more broad array of instruments, including synths, drum machines, and as you can see electric violins!
