Title: Crawler Sound Clips
Post by: Groove Cartel on October 06, 2008, 01:42:45 PM: Hi all,

Totally new to all this, so please be kind!

I have recorded a few clips of a set of Crawlers I have in my Vanquish Legend. I am impressed with their versatility, so have recorded totally clean, low gain and high gain clips.

Gear used

Vanquish Legend Classic www.vanquishguitars.co.uk
Mesa/Boogie Lonestar Classic, close mic'd with Shure SM57.
Blackstar HT Dual, channel 1 (gain at 6) on Low Gain clip
Blackstar HT Dual, channel 2 (gain at 4) on High Gain clip
Crybaby Wah
No external effect, eq or processing.

Backing tracks by Groove Cartel www.groovecartel.co.uk

Hope you enjoy them. I have tried to switch between neck, bridge and combined settings as I go. Hope they are not too tame for all you guys with Nailbombs :D

I am not adverse to a bit of metal, and try to squeeze in as much lead as my funk band members will allow :D

The Lonestar was set totally clean so all the gain and tone came from the Blackstar and the Vanquish which seem to work really well together. I had the gain set pretty low as well, which seems to get the best from the Crawlers.

I have only just taken delivery of the Vanquish and they really are top notch, if anyones after a high end semi custom build I would recommend checking them out. They will be at Music Live in Novemeber with a sweet selection of amps to try the guitars through.

Incl
Mesa/Boogie, Orange, Cornell, Two Rock, Hughes & Kettner

Great tone, impressive playing ( and a great advert for the Crawlers ! ).

The High Gain clip sounds a bit too 'soft' in the mix for my taste. I prefer a more cutting rock sound when playing with higher gain, but it could be just your personal set-up.

Post by: Groove Cartel on October 07, 2008, 04:25:41 PM: Yeah, its not the heaviest sound, but its not the highest gain either, I only had the Blackstar set at 4. If I was playing against a heavy backing track I would ramp it up a bit. Given the style of track, I tried to get it to 'sit' right against the backing or organ and bass.

I will try and do something heavier at some point. 8)
