first live use of the rebel yells

[Dmoney]

SO, my band playing in Meerhout, Belgium last night.
it was crazy!

i used my Dual Rec - newly fitted with EL34 tubes and JJ preamp tubes.
two 4x12 1960A cabs, side by side, not stacked.
les paul custom with rebel yell set, tuner, crybaby from hell, DD-3 delay (first time being used too!)

SOOOO good!
everyone commented on how good we sounded, and how awesome the guitar sound was.
it was enjoyable just to hear that stuff cranked up, playing was filled with the usual dangers of people running on the stage and 3 microphone cables got pulled apart. but it was awesome!

Rebel Yells, awesome!!!

man you gotta say next time you play in Belgium, I come!

[hamfist]

Cool. Nice one !!

I don't own any Rebel Yells, nor did I play in Belgium last night, but I did play the song "Rebel Yell" last night in front of a drunken pub crowb. So can I be part of the gang too ?

Sounds great, but you seriously play with TWO 4x12" live?

[Johnny Mac]

I bet your tone is massive! See if you can get a friend to film it or plug a mini-disc in to the mixing desk and record it. You will be glad you did one day and besides we would all love to see/hear it all in action!

i usually play with one 4x12. depends on whats kicking around. i own two 4x12's but if i take them anywhere its usually for use with 2 guitarists! haha. before we had 2 guitarists id have a 4x12 either side of the stage.

last night there was a mesa 4x12 and 3 1960A cabs. our other guitarist used one and i just used two side by side. ive done it once before and i like it. the cabs weren't mic'd up so it was just pure cranked mesa to fill the room.

i like the 1960A cabs. i find mesa's a bit bass heavy. a lot of the time i use backline brought by whoever, since carting 4x12's about is a nightmare, thats why i don't have any super cool cabs. cos i dont use my own that much. also the reason i haven't tried playing with speaker matching.

Glad to hear it went well, and glad to hear your crowd appreciated the effort you put in to sounding good for them!

I really didn't like my SG with Rebel Yells paired with my old dual rec. Sounded great with my 5150 II though

i've been fiddling with my dual rec. did the presence pot swap on the orange channel. been running it on 6V6 tubes and GZ34 rectifiers. Then i went to EL34 for a bit more bass. RY's cut down the bass coming out of my guitar so now its all even really. my problem with les paul, emeralds, and 6L6 mesa was too much bass. i also put some new preamp tubes in it. gold pin JJ's in V1 and V5 and standard 12AX7 JJ's in the rest of the positions. cut some of the harshness out of the gain and made it much more manageable. I used it again in Brighton tonight and it was so easy to dial up a good tone. i used to have a nightmare with this head. now its all cool thanks to fiddling with tubes and pickups.

now im experimenting with my pedals!

^ Sounds like a great set up you have!  8)

Checked out your myspace, sounds pretty cool- like a combination of Orange Goblin and Slayer i think. Will have to try and catch one of your shows in London some time :)

shame i cant play as well as id like. i like to think i do the most i can with what i can do though, like it doesnt limit me, it just means im creative in other ways.

cant wait till i start using the soldano.

we are playing london a few times. i wouldnt recommend actually coming because id be really embarrassed! haha
