Instrumental-rock fans, listen up: New Haven, Connecticut’s Wess Meets West may just be the optimistically charged post-rock you need to get through 2018’s onslaught of bad news.
The band, newly signed to Hassle Records, has just dropped new album, A Light Within The Fracture, which is awash with big ambient textures and euphoric melodic lines.
Naturally, there are plenty of effects highlights spread across the recording, and in the video above, guitarist Nick Robinson - who shares six-string duties with Sam Stauff – reveals his rig, sharing the band’s newfound love of Verellen amps, and revealing why there are two Boss PS-3s on his pedalboard.
“This supercharged amp-in-a-box pulls no punches in channeling the hallmark haymaker that inspired it”: Keeley Electronics and Sweetwater team up for exclusive $99 fuzz, overdrive/distortion and reverb pedal collection
“Capable of powering an average-sized board for 10+ hours”: D’Addario launches XPND Pedal Power Battery Kit, wireless pedalboard power supply including adjustable daisy chain for tidier ‘boards
