Title: irish tour bridge clip
Post by: balde on May 26, 2005, 09:48:13 PM: Now this is a bridge pickup clip.

Pickup: irish tour bridge
guitar: american 62' reissue strat with rosewood fingerboard
Effects: keeley crybaby wah mod and keeley ts9 baked mod(everything at 12 o´clock) a boss dd5 digital delay was running through the loop of the amp with a very mild setting.
Amp: Matchless brave clone (35 watt 2 EL34 amp)

recorded with a 2x12 open back cabinet with 2 custom made speakers (very similar to matchless take on the celestion vintage 30) close miked with a shure SM57. Then to a 12 channel Mackie mixing console with flat eq to soundcard. No compression or reverb added to the mix, just some slight eq.

I hope you enjoy the clips!!!
JT, here you can take an idea of what the ts9 sounds like. Check the other clip with the keeley bd2 phat mod.

Post by: balde on May 27, 2005, 06:17:03 PM: The wah is a common dunlop gcb-95 crybaby wah model modded by keeley.
The mod is basically a true bypass mod (it had an awful tone sucking when off) Still, Robert makes some changes to the components and puts 3 internal trimpots that control the effect. I never screwed with them, just left his settings, he knows his work right? I believe it´s a nice wah, still i wish i could listen to what he does to the vox wahs!!!! goddamn that must be nice!!

Loved the playing great stuff good demo :D :D :D 8)
did you have the gain up on your amp & then used the ts9 over the top ??
sounds really good i managed to get a Keeley mod boss sd1 [super overdrive] off of Ebay but the ts9 sounds good :D 8)

Post by: balde on May 28, 2005, 08:03:02 PM: Great!!! Is it the new or the old sd1 mod? if it´s the new one, a clip of that would be awesome!!! If you can, that is, of course.
Regarding the amp settings, both the bd2 and the ts9 clips had the same amp setting. I always use the master at max (kind of not having a master volume amp) and work the volume form the gain pot. So it was, master max, treble 11 o´clock, bass 2 o´clock and gain at 9 o´clock, maybe a very little more. Gainwise, that amp setting would be on the verge of breakup.
i Hope you like the sd1 and i liked your playing a lot mate!

:guitar4: oops ! sorry about that "willo" it is rather good i must say. :D
Thanks for the reply "Balde" knowing what the settings where on your amp helps give a better indication of how good the ts9 + bd2 are. great demo`s & good tone & nicely played. i`m not sure if the sd1 is the new one or not it has a flick switch under the Drive knob. HJM seems to think its one of the new ones :?:
when i do the next demo i`ll use the sd1 and let you no where and on what O.K :?: :D :D 8)
