Glen,
Please contact me and I can host it here on the Amp Garage. It's a great clip that everyone should see.

I'm going to redo the video in just a couple days. I'll keep you all posted.

Glen,
Awesome amp, axe, and playing.

Next time , may I suggest a plain green or royal blue tee-shirt. Then, you'll be able to "blue screen it" like the weather maps on T.V.

You'll be able to make it any color that you want, including tie-dyed.

Also, if someone downloaded the clip, they can put it back on youtube.

I know i have seen this happen, the file owner take down a file, and someone else stick it back on the site.

That wouldn't be a gentlemanly thing to do.

No, i'm not saying I, or anyone here would,but people from all over,other forums etc, watch the videos, and i have seen this happen.

[geetarpicker]

I know it might happen.

However I got all the gear set back up and I'm filming another video tomorrow night...

[riscado]

looking forward...

It would be nice if we could get a version of it here that has audio that hasn't been dumbed-down for youtube.

BTW, as everybody else who has bought the CD has already said, it's great, and anybody who hasn't yet bought it should do so immediately.

Wow Glen,

fantastic playing... I think this time better than the 1st post!
The clean sound is then more round and intimate... specially the 2nd clean part (the blues intro)... the distorted parts are quite fantastic!
and logically your feel with the set-up is great...
Do you remeber the regulations on the amp?
in order to obtain this wonderfull clean, you keep the volume of the neck pk near to 0? I remember I tried to have a similar clean sound but with my les paul (now sold - and my home made clone) was quite impossible.. and I play without a pick.
is it possible to download a better and bigger file of this record? (I'd like to keep it in my pc and listen to it sometimes)

I set the amp on about 1-2 for the volume, and all the other knobs on 1/2 with the bright in the full down position. I run x2 Mogami cables end to end to roll of the highs going in just a tad.

In the intro the guitar was turned down to 2, with the tone down to 3 using the neck pickup. The tones on these guitars with the "50s wiring" scoop the mids (but still stay sparkly on top) and lower the volume in the first bits of rotation. Then all the way down they go full mud, but I never went all the way down in this clip. The mid scoop side effect of the tone controls really help clear the amp up, and it also lets you trim the volume down just tad more. Worth doing if you play a Gibson into a Wreck circuit.

That said the old LPs have nice taper pots, that come on more slowly than most modern pots. A good thing to have with high gain amps. Pretty wild they were like that in the 50s, when the amps weren't high gain or never dimed anyway.

I probably should email Omar about hosting AUDIO of this clip in full resolution, or at least the highest res I can make an mp3. The youtube system dumbs it down to pretty coarse resolution mono.
