Short audio clip of the Larry Dino 962.

[SBlue]

Unfortunately, the nice but impulsive and highly sensitive gentleman deleted his audio clip after he got angry with me because of a fart.

Because of a cheap US$20 rear grille that he said was missing from his British Purist, which he later received from me - and even though I delivered this grille to him afterwards, this did not assuage his anger at me.

But no matter, about a week after he received this DINO 962 from me, he told me his impressions via WhatsApp and these are perhaps more meaningful than his deleted audio clip, which already revealed his poor talent on the guitar. But read for yourself:

If you guys need something to smile about, then read how he later insulted me in various threads here on the board and form your own opinion about the mental state of this contemporary:

Yes, it's really true - all because of a rear protective grille worth US$20, which he thinks was missing and only later delivered by me

And he still carries his anger at me in his heart, as evidenced by his false accusations in his signature.

I very much hope and wish him from the bottom of my heart that he has found adequate psychological/psychiatric help in the meantime

Sounds FANTASTIC SBlue!

I recently did a demo track with my 822 as well - unfortunately, my studio gear isnt anywhere near as nice as yours

You can always tell that "Larry" channel 3 sound though!

Sounds killer!!

 

[DanTravis62]

Sounds killer!!

Thanks man! Much appreciated.

The crazy part is how the Larry just sounds good straight off - with most of my amps I have to hipass/lopass, use mic preamps that "color" the sound, elaborate micing technique like fredman clips or phase tricks with room mics...

With my 822, I just close mic an sm57 on axis on the grill and BAM. There's the sound.

This is my newest one:

I was actually responding to SBlue's clip, but I just checked yours out and it also sounds rad

 

[Alex_S]

Very cool clips!

 

[Alex_S]

Very nice again! The sad thing with Larry clips is that (of course) you can’t experience the force and dynamics they have when you experience them cranked in the room. But that’s a given of course. But a part of the magic. What speakers did you use with the 2nd channel in this clip?

 

[SBlue]

True Alex.
It's amazing how tight, clear, fast and big the low end is on the Dino. It's something that you need to be in the room to appreciate.
The other thing is how tight and precise this amp is, but never feel stiff or dry.
Those are Celestion 65 speakers in the WEM cabinet, which is what we used with the Dino, Cameron, 2C+ and most of the Frank Levi #34 JMP.

Pretty cool. Are those old school G12-65s with the large dustcaps or newer modern G12M-65 Creambacks (higher power greenbacks)?

You're welcome!!

I still haven’t found a preferred setting on the amp, since a lot of different people used it at the studio, so it was more their settings.

 

[Devin]

Those vids sound dope!!


Finally some Dino footage that doesn't sound like a clock radio

 

[SBlue]

Another thing I’ve forgot to mention, is that all the Three channel switches were off, which also brings the aggressive character down quite a bit, especially the mids and the bright one.

 

[DanTravis62]

I recently recorded a demo of a thrashy song

I must say, the Larry performed admirably; especially considering my poor recording equipment. This is all one sm57 with zero post processing/dynamics/EQ:

Amazing. As always!!!

Amazing. As always!!!

Thank you @SBlue , I'm getting lots of use out of your old Matchless, too! Its a bit finicky with drive pedals, but the cleans are to die for. I absolutely loves the strymon Volante and KOT!

 

[Alex_S]

Found two more in the camera.
Channel three with boost off.

Wow, you have gain on 2 oclock on the second clip (if I can see it correctly)? Did you change the preamp tubes for that? Mine is super saturated with that setting. I'd say I have to dial in around 11 to get the gain of your clip. Or do you dialed down the volume on that (very cool) nice Ibanez?

Hey Alex
Yep... the gain is at around 2:00, and the Red Boost is off. The preamp tubes are the stock Tungsram that Larry selected for the amp. This Ibanez is a very smooth sounding guitar. But the amp also doesn't get too saturated without the Red Boost engaged. Which is perfect for me, because I can get the typical Dino gain, tightness and fast attack with or without saturation. It still has a lot of gain on the third channel increasing the gain knob, and without the boost. we just didn't need it when they were trying the amp.

Very interesting! Time for some tests on my side ;-)
