Yay! Calibrated Nailbombs in my Les Paul!

[Acolmiztli]

Awesome. I did a little recording, not the best quality because I think I've got some phase issues between the two microphones I used. But it does at least demonstrate the awesomeness of the Nailbomb's in a Les Paul!

Sounds great, especially after you turn up the guitar vol. Would love to hear it in song context.

What was the gear used?

[Acolmiztli]

Well, this is all bridge position, full volume. I used a Laney VH100R into a JCM900 1936 2x12 cab, mic'd up. The first tone is a crunchy tone from channel A, with the drive engaged. The rest is all channel B with the drive engaged.

You will be able to hear them in context when my bands album is done - we're currently recording guitars and bass. Check us out, you might like it!

These pickups are PHWOARSOME! :D

Thanks !

whoa
sounds huge for a laney, specially considering it's a 1936 cab

try some good sounding booster and take out a bit of gain of the amp

this will help with the sustain and fill those midrange crunch gaps

my holy diver worked great with a wylde overdrive (max output, min drive)

Agreee with the boost idea, i love my BB preamp with the drive all the way off and 3/4 on the volume gives it such a thick undertone.

[Acolmiztli]

Interesting. I have a fulltone OCD, but I guess that isn't the same thing as a boost. Any recommendations? I was looking at the MXR micro-amp.

[James C]

if you use the fulltone with the drive down and volume up and it should boost well

[Acolmiztli]

Strangely, the OCD doesn't really do boost duties that well. Not enough volume it seems. My housemate had an old Bluesbreaker II pedal laying around, so I tried that. Works very well as a boost, so I think I'll use that for a bit. Only thing is, boosting on the clean channel totally kills the clean tone I'm going for! I guess I'm going to have to do some tap-dancing.

A unmodified Laney VH100R should be matched with greenbacks for best sound!
You can also put a eq in the loop for taking the razzling buzzz away that comes with the vh100.

You don't need a booster, you don't need new speakers, you don't need an E.Q, just enjoy playing with that fabulous sound!

I agree......

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

i would just say , DIAL IN MORE DISTORTION
Besides of that , everything is perfect
ah, and the guitar may be a slightly out of tune on the low E i guess.

Any chance of a Lead work with the neck , and harmonies with the neck and bridge Clip?

+1... It's sounds like that that make me want to give up the days of playing through headphones and get a proper amp...
