Midwest rockers Stone Sour have just finished up in sunny San Fernando Valley California recording their sophomore album with producer Nick Rasculinecz (Foo Fighters Velvet Revolver). Josh Rand and Jim Root used plenty of X-Series™ and Expression Factory™ for the recordings. Josh also has been playing through the GNX3000 with this to say: "The GNX3000 is an essential piece in my home recording setup. Great sounds from jazz to blues to metal. It's easy to use, just plug in and go."

Stu will be using his trusty BNX3 Bass Workstation which will provide him everything he needs on the tour. (Notice the uncanny resemblance of product name and tour name...) The line up for the tour consists of Billy Sheehan, jazz great Jeff Berlin and of course Stu.
