mmmm hot rodded marshall anyone?
-
You finally got it!
Sounding good man, got to hear it in person.
-
Sounds awesome!
-
awesome. I need a hot-rodded marshall type amp (yep, need!). Most likely splawn.
Is that how bright it is in reality? How low do you have the treble/presence etc.? And is that bedroom volume?
also, is the competition just like the OD channel of the QR, and 50 watts?
Nice playing by the way, some nice licks in there, and eruption is always good, lol.
:drink:
-
Sounds like a cool amp! 8) Are the strings new on the guitar?
-
mmmm hot rodded marshall anyone?
Yes please!
VHII thro a splawn- does it get any better??
-
the amp was EQ'd something like this...
Presence: 9 o'clock
Bass: 5 o'clock
Middle: 11 o'clock
Treble: 10 o'clock
Volume was quite low just a bit above bedroom levels, and yes the amp is basically just a quickrod but single channel and 50watts.. it cleans up fantastically when you back off the volume on the guitar though.
the amp is seriously bright it's hard to tame similar to a plexi or jcm800 etc.
-
Sounds about right to me! :)
What gear/OD setting?
-
think that was all gear 3 od 2..
-
niice!
the tapping is really punchy and clear, not just mush... lurrvly.
in terms of gain- how hard are you pushing it in that particular clip? how much more does it have on tap?
sam.
-
it has 6 different gain structure choices
like so,
Gear 1, OD1
Gear 1, OD2
Gear 2, OD1
Gear 2, OD2
Gear 3, OD1
Gear 3, OD2
it was on gear 3 od 2 which is the highest of the them.. but the gain dial was on 50%.. so it wasnt near it's full gain capacity but it was close.
the gain is very very clear and precise and it really lets you accent your playing clearly like a clean channel does, so you can do those tapping licks like van halen and make them sound as clear and precise as he did with his rhythmic accents aswell..
-
cool, thanks for posting your settings.
Single channel doesn't worry me, but if I ever do get round to pulling the trigger, I'll probably just go for the QR- the choice of wattage means I might as well, i find 100 can sound a little punchier than 50, sometimes. Also, an extra channel wouldn't hurt.
:drink:
-
yea im of the school that if u can't do it with ur fingers it aint worth doing..
hence my stupidly simple setup
Guitar -> Wah -> Single Channel amp
nothing to go wrong..
-
I could smell those valves cooking-tha must have sound great in the room when recording.I wish I had better PC speakers-I shall listen on my other PC at the weekend-better speakers.
-
That sounded phenomenal, even through PC speakers. Just goes to show that you don't always need a rack system with enough processing power to launch a space shuttle to get an outstanding sound.
I now want a VHII, even though at the moment I don't have a guitar I could feasibly put it in.
Really good playing on that clip too.
-
good stuff there. splawns look like awesome amps. are there any other good hot rodded marshall like amps out there
-
Sounds good - very good. Surely this is what Marshall should be making these days?
How versatile is it? Can it only do "Brown Sound" with varying levels of gain?
-

Try Bogner and Roccaforte.
The Sticky Rebel Yell clip on here is a roccaforte i think.
-
Wow...
-
yea it does a very convincing brown sound..
-
But is that all it can do?
-
I just played cosmic girl by jamiroquai and a jazz standard by blue bossa on it pretty convincingly..
-
here's a recording of some famous riffs to show it's versitility..
-
the first clip sounded awesome! like you say, it's bright... a bit too bright for my taste
don't have the opportunity to listen to the second clip right now but have you tried to get those 80's thrash metal sounds out of it?
-
the clips are great - i don't think it sounds overly bright at all, although i can appreciate it might do if it werent for the scooping of the mids and treble...
all in all- i want one
-
nice!
that all VH2 and splawn?
-
Sounds good - better than I thought it would when clean!
-
Hey nice clips james,glad you like the amp.Did you try the treble thing?
-
Cool, really cool. Disagree with the treble, I think it's very balanced, meaty on the rhythms and screaming on the leads.
Awesome how the guitar sings when you bend the notes, that is a lot of fingers going on there, but the amp/pus need to be quality to enhance it.
Congrats to the new gear. Which one is it exactly - model, tubes, color options?
Pics?
-
well i've disconnected the Private Jacks and just using the Governors on there own and it sounds much more to my tastes..
just got a set of weber beam blockers from my friend thom to try in the cab to tame the speakers a bit..
should be monsterous once it's all done exactly how i like..
i'll post some clips toward the end of next week once my cab is loaded with Governors and V30's X Patterned with Beam Blockers installed.. should be miles better..
