-2. I don't even have a computer monitor hooked up to my system. I am in the complete opposite direction as you: I don't even have a computer monitor hooked into my system. If I want to know what frequency needs adjusting, I just listen for it.

I've only heard clips, but it gets a lot of positive hype for sure. I use Fletcher-era Joemeek products and they are nice.

+1. It is the way I learned and I have no desire to change it at this point in my life. I kind of admire the people who learned or evolved to learn in-the-box, but that will never be me.

My chain is old school and I don't even have a monitor to see a sonic graph that I could post for you, but I can tell you by hearing both that the e609 is a little less detailed in the mids and highs than a 57, traits that I want to capture from my Marshall amp, so I switched them. I like it as...

Just top.

I use an e609 on snare because I didn't like it as much as a 57 on my amp. It sounds like this dry... https://soundcloud.com/seeker-of-rock/drumkit-dry

If your acoustics suck, then I would work on taming your recording environment. But it can be done pretty inexpensively with rigid fiberglass like OC703/OC705 or mineral wool panels, depending on the size.

But at least you have an authentic and genuine piece of rock and roll tradition as part of your rig, now. Welcome to the club!

Well, we know you like show tunes music and that is probably a great example of where you could go wrong with a Marshall tube amp. Great point!

I had the 424 MKIII before I bought a 488MKII. I can't remember for sure, but I think those higher end cassette models had programmable punch in-out times you could set on the digital counter, which is a really nice feature for what you are doing and may be able to achieve the effect you want...

Merry X-mas!

Old thread and old post, but I use the same, for the same, and get the same results.

Amen .

That's a nice looking guitar. Congratulations.

+1. I HATE ultra low action. I bend strings quite a bit as part of my playing style and don't like them to slip out from under my fingertips. And to the GI, I totally dig the off-white Gibson color on a LP Custom or an SG. Great choice imo!

I love the older Joemeek preamps/recording channels and have a small collection. I don't have an SM7b, but I know from reading that they are gain hungry. I use a ribbon mic and even the little VC3s have no shortage of gain for it. The VC1 and VC2 even more so. The older JM pres are...

At one point when I started playing in a few metal bands, I almost got mine modded. I'm really glad I didn't. If I need over-the-top, I just crank the pre and stick a tubescreamer in front of it.

A great rock amp for sure.

I play through an older G212 (I'm guessing '70s or '80s :shrugs: ) SS with the church band I play with and it sounds really nice.
