I have a korina Vector as well and they are indeed top shelf. The body on mine does seem a little thicker than other V's I've owned and played. I'm not sure if that's a '58 thing or a Vector thing, though.
I could be wrong, but I think it is. It's the thick saturation and character of mids that sounds like it to me. You can do some gnarly stuff to the mids with the eq on that pedal.
I have an SD-1W. I like it. Honestly, I usually prefer the stock setting, but the custom setting with the extra level and bass sounds killer through some amps. I thought it sounded particularly good into a stock JCM800. In the room, it had more thump and saturation without getting muddy. Not...
“One-of-a-kind” B6…that was the lower priced model with what I believe was a fixed feature set to keep the price down. Unless I’m missing something, weren’t all the B6 guitars were all generally the same? I’m not sure how many Doug made, but I do know they were eventually made by Feline guitars.
Thanks man. Yes, it sounds a more compressed in the recording than it does in the room. I did this clip a while back and am going off memory, but I’ve had the amp for a number of years and know it well. I do remember the amp was pretty loud when I did the clip (likely loud enough to jam with a...
The pickups do have some top end. What you're likely hearing is the hair switch, though. I had that on (not sure if it's in the highest position or not). I was also running the bass and presence relatively high too.
Found an old clip of my Cali mod I did last year. It was one of my first times running it through the front load cab. I thought it sounded cool, so I figured I'd post it up here. Solo'd guitars are after the drums.
Here's the chain:
Icebuckers
Fortin Cali Mod (No external boost; saturation on)...
I’m really sorry to hear about this. I only wish the best for his family. I didn’t know him, but I’m on here enough to know that he was a huge part of this forum for the better and will be greatly missed.
What I’m finding interesting about the guitar tone is it sounds good on my earbuds, but when I listen on my nicer headphones and interface it sounds smaller and a bit low in the mix. It cuts still, but it lacks body and doesn’t sound as good as it does on the earbuds imo.
That said, I’m digging...
