New Tubes. Check it out.

Post by leadfootdriver »

I had to redeem myself from the mod thread. Tone chasing is a sickness...

I put an EI in the #1 spot and 2-Sylvanias for the rest. The power tubes are Chinese.

I took the time to set up a real mic, and it came out nicely. I used the Rockcrusher attenuator, so there's no cone breakup. But, I still think this is a good tone. Don't mind a little wankin.

The gain was at 1:00, treble at 1:00, and the rest at noon.

No, no. I have a decent monitoring set up, but it's pretty audible at the top, before Mr. Bonham kicks it.

'Tard is speaking Jive. Let me translate. "Indeed, the buzz is less in the second clip, sir, and, in fact, this artfully distorted guitar doth kick bottom."

Good ears mang. I had the micpre set on solid state. It even says that it adds crunch to the sound. :lol: I put it on high voltage tube on the 2nd clip, and it smoothed out and added bandwidth. I had to shift the mids over to compensate for what the SS added.



Most people wouldn't hear this I don't think.

Meh. It's a screaming amp at like 1/4 watt volume. It needs some 12H speakers, and about 100db of volume!
