HM Studio Kuantan

HM Studio is a privately-owned rehearsal and recording studio that is fast gaining a reputation as the most comfortable and up-to-date facility in Kuantan. Two rehearsal rooms are available for hire: a rehearsal/jamming room, and a dedicated recording room. The owner is rumored to be the 3rd largest collector of Gibson guitars in Malaysia. Well, I did mention "rumors," right?

However, what I do know is that this humble and down-to-earth dude owns a staggering collection of vintage and modern guitars from makers such as Gibson, Fender, PRS, Gretsch, and Tyler. He's also into vintage tube amps and pedals. Don't be surprised to see an array Fender, Marshall, Mesa-Boogie and Hiwatt (to mention a few) amp heads and combos both inside and outside the rehearsal rooms. Then there's the vintage Ibanez, Boss and Maxon pedals --- you'll be spoilt for choice!

The keeper of  HM Studio is the "All-Seeing Skull," who remains perched on his favorite vintage Fender Super Reverb combo after everyone has gone home and the studio is deathly quiet and empty. I've visited HM Studio many a time in the past, and found it to be a very laid-back and ultra-cool joint. There's even a hang-out corner with a widescreen LED where clients can chill while waiting for their turn; or after a session. Now, what more can one ask for?

Boss GT-1 Guitar Effects Processor

This Boss GT-1 Guitar Effects Processor was sent in for servicing of jack sockets, pots and switches. However, in order to do that, I had to take the whole thing apart. So, while I was at it, I took some pics. Can I enlighten you about circuit boards and stuff like that? Nope, I'm not an electronics whiz. I'll leave complicated stuff like that to YusTech :)
