Members colejustesen Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 So I was intrigued to try recording my amp...granted it was late enough that I had to record this at a low level (1.5 on the master volume). Anyway, I really dig the Classic 50's clean tone, so I thought I would record the first little bit of Nothing Else Matters as I love the clean tone on it. The Classic 50 is stock, minus the tubes. I am running a Preffered Series 7025 in V1, a Ruby 12AX7AC7 HG (really just a Ruby 7025) in V2 and a Sovtek 12AX7LPS in V3. The power tubes are JJ EL84s. The chain went like this.....BC Rich Mockingbird Special X > MXR MC-401 > Peavey Classic 50 (Blue Marvel speaker) > Audix i5 > Focusrite Saffire 6 USB > Reaper DAW I was pretty happy with the results for not really doing anything special...just a little bit of mic placing and that was that. What do you all think of it?Peavey Classic 50 Clean Test Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KCTigerChief Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Sounds good man! Pretty dry, but not terrible. Throw a little verb on that and it would wake it right up. Nice job dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gt_jumper Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 I know those speakers dude get some gt-75 or greenbacks for epic wins on the classic 50!I can see how so verb would really wet/compress it into greatness.Great playing to, usually one of the first songs i rip out when i test an amps cleans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted December 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thanks guys! I have been wanting to put some WGS ET65 speakers in there....but with Xmas and all it seems all my extra funds are going elsewhere...I will though at some point get some new speakers in it. When I told my wife I was wanting some speakers for it she gave me that condescending look and said "What....is it not good enough now?" So we will see if I get to put extra money into the amp any time soon... What I think is funny is that I have been looking at getting a condenser mic in the $200 range and that seems to be fine with her, I want to spend less than that on speakers and it is an issue....I love trying to explain to her why things are different....in her mind a speaker is a speaker... Thanks again, I will see if I can get some properly recorded clips (louder volume recordings) up in the near future... Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerEvil Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Sounds good. I think if you were able to do it at proper volume it would be fantastic. Still sounded good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted December 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks guys...I was impressed with how it sounded too once I actually recorded it. I like how easy it was to mic as well, I have had the hardest time hitting the good spot on a Vintage 30, but with this guy it was pretty easy.

Members Dolf Posted December 5, 2010 Members Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yeah from my minimal experience but vast knowledge, it seems the speakers are the weak link on those and that Greens/65s are a very popular choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted December 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2010 I am really leaning towards the 65 speakers, but the Green Beret keep intriguing me....damn it....too many choices! Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted December 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2010 Sounds good. I think if you were able to do it at proper volume it would be fantastic. Still sounded good though.I appreciate it...I will try and record some proper level Also on a side note......hells yeah.....multi quote is back!Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted December 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 6, 2010 Here is another clip...some gain....at a more appropriate level...I used the same setup as above except I used my Rogue HSS guitar with the EM60A...http://www.netmusicians.org/files/84-Holy%20Water.mp3 I think it would sound pretty good in a mix....but I wouldn't know until it was put in one. From the playback, I might have just a bit too much gain. I also can really hear that I want some new speakers for it....I think I have brought the decision down to two speakers....either the WGS ET65 or the Eminence Legend GB128.
