Ray Parker Jr. is known as a brilliant songwriter with hooks for days, but as a guitarist, he's always kept things simple in regards to gear choices. To that end, in a recent, career-spanning conversation with Vertex Effects, he confessed his love for mono.
“Remember there was no Pro Tools back then [when I started], so we recorded two guitars in mono. That’s it,” he says. “I really don’t care about stereo, I just love mono guitar. Even on stage, I use a mono amp. There are not many effects I like in stereo.”
