Acoustic Guitars: for the close microphone position, we used a U87 mic as a main mic, a pair of classic small-cardioid XY for catching the stereo-field, plus a ribbon closer to the hole, to get the deep frequencies smoothly. Room is a mix made by us between a decca and other microphones close and further the guitar.

For the electric guitars, we recorded a Stratocaster used a pair of vintage and modern amplifiers, plus known pedal effects recorded in stereo.

All the microphones were routed through Neve and hancrafted Argentini Preamps.

The Preparato Guitar journey starts in 2022, after the release of our Preparato Double Bass. In May, 2022 we recorded the guitar in Rocchi Studios for one week, testing all the articulation possibilities. (no guitar were destroyed!)

The editing and design process of the new AcMo Engine took 1 year. The engine was renewed with better performances and flexibility.

This is why we are really excited to release to the world this new instrument!
