Some of you may have seen my amp build thread on other forums, I couldn't post here at the time as I couldn't seem to log on.
Well I've driving myself nuts for the past couple of weeks tweaking this and that, it's becoming hard to see the woods from the trees at this stage!!
That's where you guys come in.
I'd really appreciate your opinion on this tone.
It's the OD channel set as follows:
Gain = 4
Bass = 5
Mid = 7
Treb = 5
Master = 2.5
Presence = 4
Res = .5
Mid boost = off
Fat/Tight switch = fat (listening back the clip seems to be right at the point where the tight should be engaged to prevent a flabby bottom but see what you think)
I'm using my Les Paul with the JB bridge pickup. The strings are months old, spent too much time in this goddam amp!!
A G12H is miked with a Beta 57, close and midway between cone and edge 'cos I don't know any better.
I added a touch of reverb afterwards and a touch of compression to squeeze a bit more volume (that also increase the noise a little but it's still not bad for a high gainer I think).
Other than that there are no other effects or pedals used in the making of this clip.
It's supposed to be a kind of hot rodded Marshall / Soldano type classic 80s rock type tone with my own flavour thrown in.
The OD now is nothing like the SLO circuit wise now, but I hope I haven't gone too far from the beaten track on this.
I'll make some more clips on the clean channel, some bluesy stuff and some proper high gain metal stuff later in the week.
Again I'd appreciate your input.
