That great "woody" tone ...

[gcenker]

Just finished up a build for a client. Although I don't have any pictures here today, I just thought I'd share a brief sound check clip I made prior to delivery. The controls were set as follows:

Volume = FULL
Treble = 12
Mid = 12
Bass = 10

Presence = 10
Bright = UP

Guitar was a LP, 20ft. cable and a Sennheiser e906 mic. This amp is extremely "woody" - I'm quite pleased!

p.s. thanks again Omar.

I have no idea what I'm doing (I usually just skip any clip that doesn't just open and play automatically) but I can't get that clip to work. Tried saving it with .mp3 and still no dice.

[gcenker]

Right click on the attachment, select Save Target As ...then the file should download. On my machine it saved it as woody_solo769.txt - then just change the extension to MP3. I would have posted a wav but I don't have a converter and this site won't allow posting of a MP3

[Fischerman]

Thanks but that didn't work. It tries to save it as 'download/file.php' and I've tried changing the name.

[gcenker]

Sorry. I tried converting it to a WAV and uploading it but that file extension isn't allowed either.

Suggestions anyone?

Does not work.

[gcenker]

I just tried it again by right clicking on the attachment and doing a "Save Target As" then it wants to create a file called "woody_solo_769.txt" , at which point I changed the extension to MP3 then it worked ...


Anyone?

Worked for me. Sounds great. What kind of speakers did you use?

Thanks I was using a Carvin Legacy cabinet loaded with Celestion vintage 30's (8 ohm).

Great sound !

Mine does not sound that good, not eaven close Did the guitar had its volume backed down on the clip ?

Great sound ! Maybe I have to get back on my Express again hmm...

I really appreciate it! As far as the volume goes, it was full "ON" As a matter of fact I was using an Air Brake (Dr. Z) set to one click past bedroom!

Although I live in a rather large house I was worried more about pissing off my wife opposed to the neighbors - hence the attenuator.

Not sure why mp3's and wav's were blocked. Should be fixed.

[gcenker]

Thanks Omar! It works fine now.

A VERY smart man who built a GREAT sounding amp

Thanks for the compliment Tim. I've been chasing that type of tone for years - and spent WAY too much $$$ on experimentation. The TW is the simple(DRAWING ONLY - the mojo is in the details!!! ) and elegant solution...

Yes, it is best to make sure one keeps ones wife happy when venturing into the realm of power tube overdrive!
