So in that other massive shit talking thread @Jimty wrote these lyrics for a spoof that had me laughing all night. He said it was cool if I recorded it. ...So, I put in the work to set the reamp up hoping I could pull off the vocals, but alas, I still can't sing worth a fuck in E Std. I decided to keep going with it to sort out a tone comparo of the original TBA tone compared to what I could do in my simple room with my IIB+ IIC++ and III+. Why not..? TBH I'm kind of liking where it's headed with my amps a little.. more... than the album tone which seems to be less scooped than where I landed. Since everyone has an opinion I wanted to share for feedback before I turn it into a YT vid. What do you think? Better / worse / what should change?

Edit - hold up - Soundcloud deleted the tracks for copyright. Have to think of a plan B.

Plan B- I have them parked in this OneDrive folder.

Signal chain -> EMG 81 -> ISP Decimator II -> Amp -> Recto Trad Str8 V30 2002 V30 cab -> E609 -> double tracked -> A touch of room reverb in post.

Next, if anyone thinks they can pull off his lyrics tracked along with the album, I'd be cool with dropping your stem into my reamp and see where it goes..? Could be fun! Or, at the least a reason to talk more shit! To be clear I really do like the Reissue, and I want to support it, and I also think a parody of the launch bumble is hella funny. :ROFLMAO:

Lyrics credit @Jimty -

Say your prayers, little one,
And don't forget, my son,
How much you paid Gibson,
I plug in, dial it in,
And I do not grin,
As my amp starts to hum.

It’s not cheap, perhaps it’s broken?
Of the receipt don’t lose sight….

Exit tight!
Enter shite!
For around 4 grand,
We’re off to boomer Dad rock land.

Something’s wrong, the power light,
Colour’s not quite right,
And the bass it ain’t tight…..
Dreamed of more,
Badly wired?
Is this why Randall retired?
Yeah, this circuit ain’t right….

It’s not cheap, perhaps it’s broken?
Of the receipt don’t lose sight….

Exit tight!
Enter shite!
Demos I can’t stand,
We’re off to boomer Dad rock land.

Hush, little punter, don’t say a word,
And never mind that noise you heard,
It’s just the wiring in your reissue head,
Poorly soldered, not shielded….

Exit tight!
Enter shite!
Crank the 750 hertz band,
We’re off to boomer Dad rock land.

I’m loving all this activity 🤘🏻😁
 
Put some more work in today, I took the C++ and reamped through all 4 of my Recto Trad straight cabs. Got the mic in exactly the same place with the measuring tape. Just for fun I also did a 1960A cab I have on hand.

So the Recto cabs are 2000, 01, 01, & 02. All sweet spot V30s. Which cab do you like best here?
 
Ha - just saw this! Great work so far and it would be great if someone could pull off the vocals to help bring it all together.
