Stormy Mondays.... clips inside both clean and crunchy
« on: April 24, 2006, 08:27:57 AM »
Hello,

Here you are... some clips recorded with my beloved black LP standard from 1991 w/ bigsby and a set of Stormy Mondays.


Basically I plugged the SMs into a Roland MicroCube 2 watt amp ( digital ) then into a Behringer Vintager preamp, then into a Edirol UA5 sound card and then into a iMac G3 @ 600 running Logic Audio. The reverb was provided by the Microcube. :lol:

This first clip is recorded using the Fender Twin reverb emulation of the Microcube. Please forgive my sloppy playing but I thought I was going to have another chance to record this past weekend but it wasn't the case.

Please crank your pc speakers a bit as the clip was recorded a bit quieter than I intended.... :(
Anyway....here is the clip.

This second one features two tracks: one plays rhythm and the other plays lead. It has some kind of pseudoAC-DC vibe to it.

It was recorded using the bridge p/u of my black LP and the MicroCube provided the Marshall Plexi emulation. Again the reverb was provided by this 100 quid amp ( amazing !! ).

As with the previous one you'll haqve to crank the volume a little bit as the final mix ended up a tad weak volume wise.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!!

Cheers!!! Both are played fingerstyle so handling noise is a bit higher than usual.

Great to hear a bridge SM clip! Nice cutting sound - you don't fancy swapping that bridge pup for a Nailbomb do you?




seriously



 :lol: the offer's there anyway.

More to come.....my Matamp's ready tomorrow, and just the other day I tuned down to drop C#, neck SM, cranked the gain on my OCD (complete with fading battery), tone knob full up, into a slightly crunchy AVT 100 and got the most ridiculous doom/sludge metal (or whatever its called these days) tone. Really awful in a really good way  :D Gypsy jazz/mellow lame jazz/funk/blues will go up as well.

very very nice- loved them both. That clean one is just how I would love to have a 'Paul sound. Great for blues- cranked up as indeed you said.

Nope.... I'm not a metal player ... the SM gives me enough "meat" when I need that extra dirt.

you wouldn't use the meat knife on crusty bread but, equally, the serrated knife and straight edge knife aren't going to go through raw meat as quickly

That is a great vintage tone. Like what you hear on albums from the 50's and 60's. Very,very authentic.
