Downers Grove Public Library

Recording Studio (Max Capacity 6)

Calling all guitarists! Want to learn to get the best sound from your equipment?

Come to the library's Media Lab to try out pedals and learn about pedal sequencing, cable management, putting together a board and power supply. There will be a two-amp setup so that musicians can experiment with wet/dry sounds. Pedals featured will include a Boost, Overdrive Distortion, Fuzz, Chorus, Pitch Shift, and Delay+Echo. A Squier Telecaster and a Fender Frontman will be available, but feel free to bring your own guitars.

Sign up for a 30-minute timeslot by contacting the technology services assistant manager at 630-960-1200, ext. 4309 or ebromiel@dglibrary.org.
