My pedalboard has changed a little bit since the release of Axe 2, with one or two new pedals coming in to add to or replace the existing ones.

There are no overdubs or post-recording effects; these pieces sounded exactly this way in my headphones as I was playing them. The only thing I've done is editing, making individual recordings shorter, then sometimes joining them together in pairs to make longer pieces.

The output of the pedalboard mixer went into an M-Audio Fast Track Pro Audio interface and from there to an iPhone, via a USB/lightning adapter, recording a stereo 44.1k 32 bit WAV file in the Hokusai 2 app. Editing was done in Audacity on a Macbook Pro.
