OK cool
I wonder what Nik will use of al this. Sounds like an Open Source amp to me :-)

Playing direct doesn't work. You need to download the file and then play it.

Clean sounds great. so does OD and OD with mid boost ( I guess you switched it on the front panel?). Personaly I didn't like the PAB mode so much. It seems a bit dark, but that is my taste obviously. No offense!

Very nice that you keep us posted on those tweaks.
In what way have the tweaks altered the sound? For me it's hard to compare clips because there are different guitars and effects. Curious to hear your opnion. Being totaly ignorant on the technical side of things I'd love to know what certain changes do.

Here are a couple of me and a good buddy, Ken Robarge, who dragged his recording gear and keys over to my place so we could have some fun... and, oh yes, record some music while we were at it.

Now guys, the playing here is not stellar. I was three-sheets to the wind, having drank ample amounts of wine and I was feeling pretty loose. Nevertheless, there's a bit of merit here on the OTS so take it for what its' worth. Bear in mind only the "snip" mods have been done to this unit. The brunt of the mods are yet to be done.

Please let me know if these puppies don't work for. Hopefully they will without issues.

Great sounds Kenster!

Thanks for the kudos, guys. Considering I was into several glasses of wine, I'm surprised I could even find my fretboard. We cut four tunes of which I thought these two at least had some merit. Glad they ran OK.

I was using either a '58 Les Paul or a Korean PRS on these, I believe the Lester was the more likely one. Speaker cab is an Avatar 2-12 with an older Greenback and a new G12-65 in it. The recording was done with a SM57 pointed right smack dab in the middle of the two speakers.

The question about the mid-range boost, it was off; the overdrive was on. Tone controls were something like T:4 M:3 B:3-4 OD:3-4 or something like that. The OD setting is pretty variable depending on where that internal OD trimmer is set. I was also working the guitar's volume and tone controls as well.

My buddy Ken furnished all the keyboard work and had a drum machine along as well. Basically he brought over all the recording gear. All I did was play guitar and furnish dinner (actually my wife did... haha!)

It was a fun way to spend a Saturday night, ya' know? 

Ken

I don't think that I have ever posted this clip with the Overtone and Telecaster ....or maybe I'm just growing old




thanks for watching.
