On Down

All guitars, photography, animal and nature sounds, video production and every aspect of these videos: by Gregory Michael Stahl of Stahl's Blues. I explore Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin mostly. Exploring God's creations with love and respect to all.
Rig Rundown:
I use a Fender Vintera ii 60's Stratocaster, Lake Placid Blue(2023) on the Neck Pickup, into a Fender 65 Princeton Reverb Reissue. Tubes=V1 Vintage USA 12AX7 (no brand name legible), V2 Tung Sol Tube 12at7, Tung Sol 12ax7, V4 Vintage USA 12ax7 (no brand name legible), (Amp Volume 2.5, Treble 3.1, Bass 5.2, Reverb 2.6)
I record onto my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra video camera using a jvc earbud mic 10 inches away from the amp on the floor.
10 guage strings, 7.25 radius with relief on the 8th fret at .010 (capo on fret 1, depressing string at last fret with my finger). String height on the bass side at 5/64ths at the 17th fret. Slighly lower height regressing to the high side.
Pickup height from the top of the pole piece to the bottom of the string (string fretted at the last fret) at 3.5 mm on the low side and 3.0 mm on the high side.
If you hear any parts with overdrive I'll occasionally play around with a Paul Cochrane Timmy Pedal V3 15th Anniversary Edition, or sometimes a Maxon VOP-9 Vintage Pro or my 1986 Ibanez Super Tube STL MADE IN JAPAN.
My goal is to photograph these quickly changing areas in the country to preserve their memory. The farms, animals, rivers, creeks, and anything else that catches my eye. Love to all.
