this is good stuff man! i like the production, its up front, but not too much. what was the rig, out of interest? something with mules?
Cheers, the rig varied from song to song - I had a massive amp collection at the time (something like 12+ heads, three 4x12s, combos... ahh, those were the days, ha ha).
The main amp on just about every song is a mkII Selmer T&B 50w head through a 70s Matamp 4x12 (G12M-50s) or 70s Laney 4x12 (blackback G12H-30s) depending on what I wanted. Actually, I had two of those Selmer heads since it was my gigging amp and I needed a backup. I just used to floor the volume and roll back the guitar volume for cleans. We'd often get told we were the loudest band the venue had seen (lmao) :lol:
There is also a floored 100w Simms Watts head for the riffs that sound overdriven, but still somehow clean like on Sister Love.
A reissue Bluesbreaker (with KT66s) is on some tracks too for overdubbed parts. That had the G12M-25 speakers replaced with G12H-30s which accounts for some of the midrange roar the guitars have.
Last amp I can remember is a circa 1980 Marshall JMP master volume head (100w). I did some mods to it right away to smooth the treble and add a little gain, but it was an awesome amp even before that - just a total monster. I later put KT88s in it and stupidly sold it.
The songs were all pre-BKP so I was using my main guitar (still my main guitar) loaded with SD Seth Lovers; it's now loaded with Mules.
Only pedal was an MXR Dynacomp which was in the chain even when it was off since the buffer added a little something extra that the straight guitar>>chord>>amp tone didn't. Oh, there was an RMC3 wah too. Actually, there is a Fuzz Face doubling up the riff on one song too (you'll know it when you hear it).
btw, i also like your new avatar, your replies look much more friendly now :)
Thanks, I'm really not a scary guy, honest. That photo is cropped to block out the crutches proping me up, still not walking unaided (pisser) :(
