Jeez, busy day in the tone thread!
Well, I finally got around to recording a my little Peavey Bravo tube amp.
Hey Jimi, that clean tone is really good, especially when you dig into it and add a little drive. And even more when you add more drive. It definitely likes that Strat a lot.
The LP sounds a little distant, like there's some comb filtering going on. It's definitely fizzy too. It's got a good attack to it, even a little lo-mid chunk that's nice sounding. But those mids are weird sounding, and the grit/fizz on the top end are kind of a deal breaker.
Afternoon guys, been meaning to start rerecording this for ages, one of the heavier songs I've done but I don't want it to be too gainy. Started re-tracking it this afternoon.
I actually like those tones. I wouldn't go as far as calling them boxy, but they don't sound as "big" as your other recent tones. It could work for this song, but maybe a little less saturation wouldn't hurt. Cool song though!
I had a little idea the other day and ran with it and decided to record it. The first part I had just came up with then the rest I did on the fly, nothing special but you get the idea. Im running my guitar into an a/b/y pedal and one side is running into a cheap delay/looper pedal then into an Orange Dual Terror on the Tuny Terror Channel running a Marshall 1x12 cab. The other side of that a/b/y is going to my Blackstar ht20 and Orange 1x12 with a HoF reverb in the loop. The Orange cab is miked with a es-57 and the Marshall cab with an e609. Then just did a very quick mix, I had very little time to play, maybe did this all in 40 between coming up with it, playing/recording it, mixing it then syncing my phone video to the audio. The first thing you hear is the Dual Terror then I play over that with the Blackstar's clean and dirty channel.
Nice looking gold-top man. I think that the idea is worth developing. As far as tone, I like how the right-hand guitar sounds, it works well with the arpeggio riff. But I think that the solo bit is too thin and weak sounding. It almost sounds like a direct-inject. Now when the drive part comes in, I think it sounds great. Tight sound. Maybe a little too mid-scooped though, it has trouble competing with the right-heavy mix.
Lol. Holy crap. I just youtubed some Collective Soul and the related videos sidebar is a hilarious time machine back to 1994. Awesome.
Here's one for JDOD, he really likes that time period.
Collective Soul was a favorite of our local radio station when I was in high school, so I'm so freaking burned out on every one of their songs...I've heard them enough to last me a lifetime. That was back when everybody had to sing like Eddie Vedder in order to get a record deal. Awwrrr hawrrr yurh.
Oh, 4 Non Blondes. I remember that song. That acoustic tone. Blending in a DI? Ugh. That's bush-league. Jeez, even the girl singers sang like Eddie Vedder in the 90s.
