Apaches through a Cornell Romany Plus
« on: March 30, 2009, 11:48:35 PM »
A while back I asked for advice on a low wattage tweedy type amp and after many helpful suggestions I am now the very happy owner of a Cornell Romany Plus.  Ian Price asked for a clip and so here's a quick one cobbled together this evening during the hour or so that I had the flat to myself. 

The mic I used is far from ideal and since I can't monitor what I'm recording as I record it, the signal clips in a few places.  Furthermore, the playing gets very sloppy but I hope it gives you some idea of one of the sounds the amp can do.  The guitar, a Highway One Strat with Apaches, is plugged straight into the amp; the reverb is the amp's, not a post production one. 

The amp is set on the 1/4 watt setting with the EQ set halfway and the volume at about 7.  I had the guitar's volume backed off to around 7 for most of the recording and the tone controls on the guitar varied between 3 and 7.

When I have more time I'll try and make something a little more polished.   Still, I hope this might prove useful to someone.
