The main players of my rig are a 2003 CS Les Paul Custom R7 and a Charvel ProMo. I have two "rigs." The big boy consists of an EVH 5150 IIIs. The pedalboard is controlled by a Musicom Labs EFX MK III. I have a wah, tuner, Sure wireless, EP Boster, noise gate, Eventide H90 and a Boss...
I've seen George a few time over the past decade. Most of the time he's playing a plexi and looking like he is struggling. Looks like he's playing a DSL and has the gain up a bit. Seems to work well for him. Good performance.
They site very nicely in a band mix. Below is a live clip where I used my 100-watt Stelath in my Bush tribute band. I use all three channels with this band.
Ok, so my preamp tubes finally arrived. I installed an NOS GE 12AX7 in V1 and Ruby 9th Gen Chinese tubes in V2-V5. Checked the power tubes to make sure that I didn't have any drift. Adjusted to 28mA. Hooked up the pedalboard and made sure that everything that the loop touches was set to line...
Sounds like 350ms low in the mix. I know that he likes the H9 for his delays. And the Dead Daisies were so much better when they had Glen Hughes singing. Saw then at a small bar in Houston a couple of years ago. Doug was on fire. He was using his old Marshalls. The tone was glorious.
Considering that they probably aren't pulling in the money that they used to, the QC is much cheaper to transport that a stack and refrigerator of Soldanos. If the sound engineer is worth his paycheck, no one probably knows the difference in the crowd. Yes, we want to see the big tubes light...
Thanks! No. No attenuation. I have tried my Webber, the PS100 and my TwoNotes. As soon as you attenuate, it sounds like shit. lol! The Captor X is just getting the sound to the camera. I am using an IR of my cab with a 57/121 combo. Pretty much sounds like it does in the room.
I was...
Ordered a new set of Sovtek 5881/6L6 tubes. Before I removed the originals, I took a bias reading. They were set to 50mA!!! :oops: Installed the new tubes and pulled them down to 30mA. The amp instantly sounds better, and the gain level is now much more in line with what I thought it sound...
So here is the first play of the amp. Holy hell, Batman! Talk about zero room to hide mistakes. Overall, I like the tonal base. I'm fairly positive that the amp is in need of some new glass. It's got some of that telltale signs that the tubes are on their last leg. At least in the room you...
If I boiled it down to what I actually need and use... a tuner, a wah and a delay.
I like the Peterson tuners. Love the Dunlop switchless wah and my delay crush right now is the Boss SDE-3000EVH.
I have been running pitch shift for almost 20 years now. I have used the TC G Major, G Major 2, and G Force. I have used the H9 and the H90. I set them all the same way basically. +9/-9 and adjust the mix to taste. As stated above, it is a subtle thickening agent in my rig. I leave the mix...
Well, if it gets bad enough, I’ll just use the loop in my PS100 when I use this amp. lol. Or it will just be “the dry amp.” lol.
I’ve wanted a SLO since 1992 when the F.U.C.K. album came out. lol. I know the HR50+ isn’t going to be exact, but it puts me in the ballpark. Should have bought a...
Both my H90 and SDE300EVH will run at line level. So I should be good. I’ve heard a SoloDallas in front of a hot rod 50 and that was mean as hell. And then only Kirk Hammett is a bigger wah freak than me….lol!
I am about to pick up a Soldano Hot Rod 50+. I have heard that the loop on the older Soldanos was not the best. Is that because they send line level and pedals just don't work well? So, does that mean they should be fine with rack gear? Or are they really that awful? lol. Keep in mind that...
IRs have allowed me to get the recorded tones that I want without all the neighbors calling the cops. I recorded my bands last EP using a Splawn QuickRod and a TwoNotes Captor X. I was able to get the amp cooking without blowing the walls off of the house...lol! It did take some time to find...
