Post by: Scotty477 on January 31, 2008, 07:11:21 AM: Clip 1.

It seems to have a much cleaner - smooth - tone than clips 2+3.

Post by: keano on January 31, 2008, 07:16:42 AM: Yeah it is smoother. That is the original track I used. 2 and 3 made tonight quickly

BTW what tape of amp do you play those Emralds through. Curious about them

Post by: Henk on January 31, 2008, 07:43:32 AM: I personally like clip 1 and 3, kind of depending on the music really. I like the somewhat bigger lead tone which sounds a bit more cranked a bit better, allthough #1 is a bit more transparent and could work better in ballads and such maybe. Well either sound very good actually.

Post by: keano on January 31, 2008, 07:48:36 AM: Your right one work for the ballads better but for more raw edge others are good.

I am not surprised.... becuse on is the TSL which is more compressed voiced more lower. Others were JMP with OD. JMP sounds great but lead tone like plexis have a thinner tone.

Tomorrow I try try the 800. #1 was played on a LP also but a different one I sold.

The Emerald recordings were done by playing my LP directly into a Boss BR-900 digital recorder. All of the effects are supplied by the BR-900 onboard COSM software/hardware.

I'm saving my cash for an amp but need to juggle the desire for a valve tone with house volume.

Ayyy, you shouldnt have said that yet.... :lol:

So #1 is TSL, #2 is JMP + boost(?) and #3 is JMP + OD?

At least i like to know a bit more, i now have a JCM 2205, but id like to get a JMP also in the near future.

Post by: Buddha on January 31, 2008, 08:16:38 PM: Vote for clip 1 for me, although i agree, depends in what context
Title: Fellas which tone do u prefer?
Post by: keano on January 31, 2008, 09:32:16 PM: thanks I just did clips with 800 and I was happily surprised very nice in between tone. Especially with the Seymour Duncan Boost on at 10 o clock. Coming soon

Post by: keano on February 01, 2008, 12:50:03 AM: 800 clips now up, they sound in between the TSL and the JMP

Post by: Mr Ed on February 01, 2008, 10:16:40 AM: Wowza, hard to pick... I mean 1 is smooth as hell, very Slash-y to me but I really liked 4 too however maybe that's a tone for over an overdriven rhythm, not such a clean one? I think a hella-smooth lead like number 1 suits the rhythm.

Post by: Henk on February 01, 2008, 11:48:31 AM: Still like the bigger and clearer JMP OD clip best allthough the 800 doesnt do that bad at all. Still wondering what the 800+ZW would be like though, and obviously how much better it would sound when using Mules :twisted: .

Post by: keano on February 01, 2008, 06:16:21 PM: Send me some Mules to let me test drive them ha!

I guess I'm a odd man out too as I prefered clip 2. I like the edgy brake up.
