Friedman C45 Leads #II - this time Les Paul

[bwgintegra]

Is this the HBE or BE channel? Also are all other options are off, Sat, Fat, Etc.... ?

Thanks, Brett

HBE Channel, C45 On, Gain is noon, Presence/Treble 6-7, Bass/Mids around noon or slightly below, all other switches off except the loop.

The Les Paul feels significantly hotter/more fluid than the Tyler. In the Tyler clip the gain was almost 3 o'clock.

Thanks for the information, the clips and playing are awesome! I've have had my BE-100 for almost 2 years, sent it back to Dave a few months ago for all the updates, VH switch, and be/hbe switching.

I'd love to do that too, but from here in Germany that would be crazy complicated and expensive.

very nice man!! Love the tone and the playing.

 

[ejecta]

Very nice!!

 

[Rogue]

Sounds great!! Certainly raises hopes for the boys for v11.

You used to use the Rock Crusher then into the DAW, right? How do you like the sound and feel of the Live compared to the RC?

 

[se7en]

How do you like the Torpedo Live?

 

[JTyson]

Really nice playing, it sounds great

 

[Doubleneck]

Great take on Since I've Been Loving You. Fantastic tone and playing.

Which pickups are you using?

 

[dstroud]

Tasty dude! That was some killer playing with some killer tone

 

[IntenseJim]

Fantastic!

Guys you're killing me. Thanks for all the kind words

I have the old Rock Crusher without speaker sim. So i had to use the Torpedo Plugin. Because of the latency of that setup I started to get interested in the Live. If you don't need the real time monitoring of the sim, you can as well use your cab with the RC while recording, and tweak the cab sim later in your DAW. WallOfSound III is great enough.

The Live is just super simple to set up and sounds great. I couldn't imagine life without it anymore. It should be called "Torpedo Life"

Bridge BareKnuckle VHII
Neck BareKnuckle RebelYell

I use a wiring Set from Emerson Custom guitars that comes with a treble bleed thingy for the volume pot, works pretty cool.

Well was asking in terms of how the attenuation of the RC compared to the attenuation of the Live? Everyone that has used the Live said they feel the load box sounds and feels better than the attenuators they've used in the past (attenuators can tend to reduce highs and lows and add a congested kind of sound and feels a little strange). Since you used the RC previously for your loading purposes, I'm curious as to your thoughts on how the Live "sounds and feels" compared to the RC. Not any simulation, just how the attenuation sounds and feels.

To me they are the same. Actually I just realized that the Rivera was connected to the speaker out of the live (sometimes I blend a bit of my real 4x12 in for the in the room feel). So what you hear on the video is the Amp into the Rivera load.

As said, both reactive loads are IMO of the same quality.

Oh, have you tried using ASIO drivers in your DAW? I get very respectable latency using those drivers. I can monitor from the desktop with no problems.

Here is a clip with the SAT Mode instead, completely different tone IMO.

 

[snowdog]

Nice work. I don't make it too far into many clips around here, but I listened to all of it and wanted more.

 

[MKibanez]

Fantastic sound and playing, one of my fav song ever. Wow!!!

 

[IndyWS6]

I somehow missed this thread entirely the frst time around. My loss. Ridiculously nice playing and tone.

Thanks for sharing and accept my belated
