Seriously, I mean ^^^^^^ THIS!!! ^^^^^^
One gibby can be an awesome extension of your consciousness leaving a trail of musical enlightenment while the identical looking one right next to it can be a terrible, untunable destroyer of any fondness for music whatsoever.
Thanks for the tips.
I'm putting research into my instrument before I buy one this time. All my other guitars have been regrettable impulse buys or just happened to land at my feet.
You don't wanna regret spending two grand.
I've been screwed out of more money before and I don't even have a bad 70s LP to show for it!
I'll keep it in mind to try before I buy.
I once bought a 24 fret SG on ebay. Sold it a month later since I had had no idea how neck heavy it would be. Bascially dipped straight down to the floor if you ever let the neck go.
I heard that gravity works differently in the south.
You've probably heard the preliminary mixes with guitars care of my little 5 watter.
Real vocals were added by Supercreep and then drums by the recent Webber convert.
Well, since then Greg had an idea for an extra guitar part or two, (Hall mark L & LP R). I've added them to the mix.
This mix is close to done and thought you'd like to hear some classic Johnny Thunders style riffage from Greg's wall of amps.
Here is Faint Aroma by Pygmy Beat with Supercreep & Greg L:
There's a Sanford Bass Manager on the master Buss still - not sure if it's needed or not.
Ok, So i tinkered around with this amp a little bit more this afternoon and i think i found a tone i can live with, but i just want to run it buy you guys first before i track the for real guitar tracks for the entire song.
I turned some dials and moved the mic marginally. Not really a whole lot but enough to make me happy a little happier. I turned the master up a couple notches and the gain down enough to get rid of the real noticeable fizz. I took gregs advice and turned the mid knob down about 3/4's of a notch as well. All of those things really did wonder for my confidence in this amp. There seems to be a bit more life and a bit more air movement. Less stiffness. to my ears anyways. I am happy with it. Let me know what you all think and i'll post up the specifics if anyone is interested.
REF:A the one i tracked the other day
REF:B the schtuff i did today.
I tried mussing around with my condenser mic as well and i have concluded it doesn't matter how or where i mic the cab with either of the two condensers, they real brought little of anything to the table in regards to this effort. If i were to think objectively, i am betting i could find a kick ass tone with the condensers if i had a better mic mount and someone to move it around the speaker face / general area, but i do not have that. So for now. I might just do some guitar doubling or go get a different Dynamic mic of some sort.
I think the new guitars have better clarity. I still think they need more shine though. More presence, air, whatever you wanna call it. Good base tone for sure, they just need some sparkle.
A condenser on a loud cab is probably not going to work. They're too sensitive. Use them as room mics from way far away, but for right up on the grill, dynamics are better.
I wonder if the sparkle is because I have a low pass filter on the guitar tracks? I'll slide it up the frequency range and repost when I get home maybe?
