NAMM Video - SOD II

[glasman]

Here is Nicky playing a Glaswerks SOD II. This is a Ford tuned amp.

Fun to watch Nicky's facial expressions and need for speed (more gain).

100W into 2x12 G1265 Loaded cabinet. Canon 5D Mk II with internal microphone.

The Green and Red channels are Green non-HRM and Red HRM

Can't believe how good that thing sounds through a camera mic!

[Normster]

Portofino, eh? Great video! The face says it all. (Well, not really. The audio says most of it.)

I wish I had installed the external mic, it really does a nice job. But given the circumstances the audio is pretty good.

Yupper, Portofino was insulted with a barrage of people coming and going. But in all, it was pretty quiet as compared with years past.

The expressions are great, Mr. Sweetwood on the top bunk is priceless.

Sounds great!

Gary, really great tones!

Can you reweal some details about 'green' side of The AMP .....183, Ojai Or other reference preamp?

[SuperReverb2]

Wow!! Sounds GREAT!! Love the playing, the tones, and the comments!

Gary;great sounding in the right hands!

With both Non-hrm and hrm on your amp; how is the hrm switched internally; does it switch PAB together with the HRM ?

No, I opted not to have the PAB enabled. I like the sound of the HRM without pab. Great rhythm tone and then hit the PAB for leads. But usually I will switch to non-HRM for leads. Just me of course.

There is a section when Nicky is playing you can really hear the difference between HRM and non-HRM, it is when he is playing the chunka chunka 5 chords.

But usually I will switch to non-HRM for leads. Just me of course.

Cooling my heals in Eindhoven tonight. Finishing up a week of meetings at the Mothership (ASML).

The non-HRM side is based on Fords amp.

I have a second personal amp that I will probably add a dual voice option and it will be a 183 style switchable to a fender style tone stack. I really like the sound of a fender stack with high plates. Another crayola in the box. This is an extension / modification to my normal BluSky amps.

As far as switching, the amp has two independant overdrive stages, so switching is pretty easy, it does require three DPDT relays to get the right things switched. One switch section is used for the idiot lights on the front panel.

Great to hear such details, thnx for sharing!

Hej Gary, very nice video! I really like the sound of the Les Paul with the amp. It has quite some balls, without being muddy in the low end
220k & 150k on all plates (also on the HRM section)?

Time for a chat at the office this week?

[Billion81]

Outstanding clip. Nicky is a mackin' player and shows off your amps in such a great light. Kudos to you Gary on a great design.

Still kicking myself for not grabbing Jtodd's SODII amp when he sold it.
