6 Degrees FX: R3 MKII DISTORTION
45https://6degreesfx.com/collections/standard-models-1/products/r3-distortion-mkii
I did cover this one in my recent 6 Degrees 2017 round-up video (see: https://youtu.be/moWIkQKOBSY) but I don't believe the guitar and amp combo I used for that video did the R3 justice. So here I'm revisiting it with a bitsa-Strat and a HIWATT Custom Shop 50 Combo. I've thrown in a Fast Guitars Roamer 7-string at the end for good measure and supplemented the lot with an Empress echosystem for some subtle delay and reverb. I think the end result is far better representation of what the R3 has to offer than my previous attempt.
