Hello Folks,
I had a play with my Superbass MkII yesterday - mic'd it up for recording for the 1st time since removing an attenuator from the set up.
It's a lot happier since it was serviced, (replaced & rebiased three tubes - one of which was shorting - that's been sorted too and a general look over etc - only the 2nd time on the bench since I bought it 2nd hand in mid 80's).
I need some advice re tone for guitar...there's no master volume, just presence bass mid treble & a volume pot for each of the 2 pairs of inputs.
I used an overdrive pedal in front with level and gain at 12 o'clock on one track and the same pedal with about 3 o'clock level & no gain on a second. I did the 2nd because I fugured the gain in the pedal was probably some cheap simulation.
What do you folk recommend I use as settings to get a good o'driven rock tone from a single coil semi acoustic guitar? I'm not after metal or any specific genre, just that lovely sound of a tube breaking up. I did have an attenuator but discovered that such things and Mrshalls generally aren't compatible so am looking for a new way. Attached are pics of the front panel and the mic'ing set up I used most recently - oh, you'll note that I'm using a 200w Etone bass cone - not optimal for guitar I suppose.
