A special request from Nik to make a 'Slow dancing in a burning room' clips.

Fender Strat > Boss Chromatic Tuner > Boss Ru-3 Loop station > SSS

There are two clips in this video.

No 1. was shot with iPhone 4s camera.

No 2. Then tried to redo again with microphone.

I only had the one mic at the time but it really doesn't capture the tone of this amp. There is a certain magic to these beauties that despite my best efforts - i couldn't get recorded.

If i had to describe it, i would say its like a two rock sterling sig, but a bit more raw.

One thing to note on JM's tone is that his tone is a combination of an SSS and his Sig amp, which is almost the same except with a darker voicing. it is the combination of the two that make his sound... that and almost 2 decades of practice!!!!

anyway, i only did one take on these (didnt have time to warm up or anything) but it should help you get an idea of the sound at least... just try ignore the playing haha

Lucky Bastard ...

Thats a Beauty!!!

Is that the same one as above? Looks a bit longer?

It is a super clean machine!!

However the earlier models are capable of grit!

e.g.




Id hazard a guess at high powered gibson humbuckers, into the FET channel with the pre-amp over half-way and possibly also the PAB engaged. The rest would be the master output and speaker cabinet. ns about these as it isnt stated whether it is operating at 50w or 100w, and whether 112 or 212 etc.

It is hard for me to judge, because my preferred sound is a singing clean strat in the neck position!! haha
It is also difficult because its hard to tell where the distortion from the camera ends and the amp starts!

However it definitely seems to get a singing overdrive! Even NM seemed highly impressed!

I have to admit, the entire time i was mentally willing him to pick up that gold strat though!!!!!

The cleans in video one defiantly chimed.
What speakers was it through?

Any chance of a video with the gold guitar?
