Title: Well the mules sound a bit...
Post by: Sean on June 28, 2006, 12:35:39 AM

I am intrested in getting a set of mules for my les paul but all the soundclips I've heard of them sound a bit too clear and maby a bit electronic.  Can the mules get really creamy (think cream)?

Electronic ?!  :? Didnt you hear Tims clip? Its amazing. They can do Cream fine aswell.. they dont sound so good through a modeller or solid state amp as a nice valve amp, thats pretty obvious though

It could just be how he recorded it.  He recorded straight to a computer right.  If it was throught a good tube amp I'm sure it would sound better.  Does anyone get what I'm saying about it sounding a bit electronic?

If I could make a suggestion.
If you're after a warmer (euphonic) sound, check out the Abraxis.

I just did some recording with the Mule set through a modded Marshall this past weekend. They sounded like melted butter. :wink: Warm and beautiful.

Clear is good, isn't it? At least I like clear, that's why I'm going to order Nailbombs at the weekend  :twisted:

dont  ever pay too much attention to soundclips .......they are good fun but  speaking to tim might be less confusing, the mules are paf type organic warm , bright clear , airy  .....excellent

For Cream sounds, I'd think Mules or Stormy Mondays oughta be ideal.

I was going through all the mule clips in the players section and they do sound good.  To me Tim's recording sounds a bit too processed.  I've got a better idea of them now.
