Title: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: Pickmaster on December 17, 2010, 01:36:54 PM This cab is my favourite so far – compact, powerful, tone rich and sturdy.
(http://www.guitarampcab.com/lmcab.jpg) Here are the sound samples of the two built in mic capsules, one is on and another is off axis. Best result is when both are recorded (PA-ed) together. (http://www.guitarampcab.com/lmcab2.jpg) 1. Off axis sample followed by same phrase on axis. http://www.guitarampcab.com/ottest2.mp3 2. Simultaneous recording with both mics slightly paned left and right. http://www.guitarampcab.com/ottest1.mp3 Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: MaxBoogie on January 02, 2011, 04:49:34 AM That could be some of the nicest cleans I've ever heard!
Which head are you using here? Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: erwin_ve on January 02, 2011, 12:58:40 PM Somehow I missed this; very nice clean tones. The od sound is not as smooth as your live gig you posted a while ago. Different amp?

The od sound is not as smooth as your live gig you posted a while ago. Different amp? I'v left 12 way OD filter totaly open. It can go as smooth as you want :chairdance: Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: erwin_ve on January 02, 2011, 01:05:47 PM Ok I understand! Thanks for sharing. I love the EVM12L too and your cab looks delicious. :)

Hi Hywel, At home and small club moderate volume levels (master level on2 or 3) it does not make much difference, but when I play loud – master at 5. MM are much bigger, cleaner and articulate. I was pleasantly surprised. Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: Pickmaster on January 04, 2011, 02:59:05 AM Somehow I missed this; very nice clean tones. The od sound is not as smooth as your live gig you posted a while ago. Different amp? Here is a video with clean, clean boost (at 1.01) and drive (2.15). Pretty smooth and fat drive tone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj38gwOoQjY Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: erwin_ve on January 05, 2011, 09:05:37 PM Yeah that's the vid sound I recall. Great sounding and very nice playing as well!

What do you mean by clean boost: just PAB or with a pedal. I think I hear a light od pedal. Deliciously fat and reedy in any case. Cheers Fabien Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: Pickmaster on January 06, 2011, 04:41:28 PM Gorgeous tone indeed and great groove and playing.

I don’t have PAB in my amps. I hate it, it’s thin and middly, kills amps good tone. Instead I have a clean volume boost which also affects OD. I can set the desired amount with a pot which is sitting in the FET input hall (I don’t have FET either). See amp’s photo in this thread. For my taste clean boost is much better and flexible then a PAB.

For my taste clean boost is much better and flexible then a PAB. True, now that you mention it I had read it already somewhere in one of your post. Funny that the PAB sounds thin on your amp. On mine (non HRM) it's very warm on the clean channel and could even get muddy on OD if I'm not careful. I think your amp has evolved to be a very different animal with all your wizzardry. An electronic Darwinisme of some sort perhaps? All for the good anyway Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: Pickmaster on January 07, 2011, 03:46:55 PM I think your amp has evolved to be a very different animal with all your wizzardry.

This weekend I'm converting one of my amps from 6L6 to EL-34, and testing against a nearly identical amp with KT-66's. Hopefully in a week I'll FINALLY be able to decide how I want to build my Ceriatone!

Any tips on mounting them? Cheers Tone Title: Re: EV 1x12 thiele cab double micing sound test Post by: Pickmaster on January 08, 2011, 11:19:02 AM where are the mic capsules from? Any tips on mounting them? Cheers Tone Hi Tone, Capsules are neodymium instrument mic inserts from Germany, custom made copies of a Zenhiser 609. Usually we by them in boxes of 20 for £35 each. Here you can check out all info about mic mounting and other design tips. http://www.guitarampcab.com/design.html Cheers |
