Randall SL+ mod

So I modified my SL+ (superlead) module with a switchable low end (tightens it up) and also a JCM800 tone stack that's switchable. Recorded a few clips, whattaya think?

These are clips of the amp by themselves, playing basically the same riff. I did NOT change any settings on the module between 'no mods' and 'modded' except for:

Changing the bass from stock to the tightest setting
Changing the tone stack from stock to JCM800

Gain, volume, eq on the module and volume of the amp were kept exactly the same, as were mic and recording settings.

Here are the two in a mix - same settings/criteria as above. I did use a few mastering tools and reverb to make them sit in the mix, and I thought I used the same amount on both tracks, but the modded sounds a lot wetter.

I like the modded tone MUCH better because it adds some brightness and un-boats the bottom end. I like dark but I think it was to dark before!! :thumbsup:
That said if you can swich between the 2 tones that would rule!



BTW...... HOCUS POCUS BY FOCUS!!!! = :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
I like the modded version much better Pete, just sounds like you are using a bigger freq spectum and I like the highed highs as well.

Nice :thumbsup:
 
Thanks man. It's amazing how much different it feels too... I have a 'brown' module that is supposed to get the Eddie/modded marshall tone, this SL+ with the mod does it a lot better. Can't wait to gig it saturday night!
