4 clips, though not very refined, as the whole recording set up and recording were done in a rush.

Overall these are to demonstrate the major strengths of the PUps:
-Bark
-Cut/Clarity
-Balance
-Low Noise

Setup was the Les Paul through a ZVEX Fuzz into ENGL Screamer, recorded through a Palmer The Junction DI box and a T.Bone ambience mic.

The crunch sounded great!

Yeah, sounds good. What pups were in originally? I've got a Junior Special with Gibson P-100s that sounds perfect as it is, and very similar to your clips.

Gibson P90s. But they were noisy and thin. Meanwhile I had EMG-P81/60s in it, which had more balls but was sterile. The BKPs (as usual) hit just the right spot between clarity and oomph.

Off-thread: I just can't stop playing this fuzz pedal. I LOVE IT !!!!

This fuzz sounds incredible!
ZVEX Fuzz (probe? factory? other?)

Loved em all, the fuzz sounds pretty cool, and I dont normally like fuzzes! The crunch and heavy ones were awesome, I didnt imagine an Engl to sound like that atall! You got me interested in a Screamer now :P Noticed a bit of Zeppelin in there too :D

The Screamer has a wide range. Usually I like to scoop mids and use more presence, then the sound is bigger, more modern, with lots of bottom and ... well ... high-end scream:)

But if you dial in the mids and back of treble and presence, the peak frequency shifts towards more marshall-esque, which I like more, especially because the clean channel has a fuller sound and the lead cuts through the band much better.

Yeah it was more Marshally than I expected.. Just need to know if the combo sounds similar to the head version, I must add this to the list of amps I want when I have money :P

hunter · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2006, 07:35:07 PM »

Hm, Combo will be pretty much the same, except for the speakers. Keeping in mind that 50% of the tone you heard cam from a DI box, the difference will be minimal.

I like 2x12 cabs, they are more complex than 1x12 but you don't have to crank to insanity to have the speakers move air.

The one I used here was a closed Heritage with reflex openings and one V30 (this is in the Combo) and one G12H30.
