My office was over a concrete slab at the time and let me tell you, the freaking slab was moving up and down. Boxes were falling off my desk.. Sick I sez.. Yep. You use greenbacks right? I think the 25 watters take a bit of the edge off. Not as painfully loud as something like v30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ratter Posted March 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 Originally posted by DropDeelicious Too bright on the Unchained clip. I'd dial the presence and treble back some. All the Super Leads I've played get screetchy with those dimed, despite the legend of "all on 10". I am surprised how tight the bass is on 10. I never ran the bass over 2 on my 1959SLP, or it just got woofy. Good stuff, though. Let's hear more! Yeah, I think you're probably right about brightness. I still can't hear, so who knows. Mic placement would help with that, I'm sure. I just put it straight on the center, which I think is the brightest spot. Originally posted by Mr.twin Holy {censored} ..

Not as painfully loud as something like v30s. I do now. When I first got it all I had was my THD 2x12 and those CL80's are fooking loud! Yeah the GBs take a bit of the volume and edge off. Not to mention sound so kickass with this amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daveyboy Posted March 23, 2006 Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 Originally posted by ratter That was no hotplate. I clipped the bright cap on the normal channel, otherwise a bone stock 1959HW. The guitar shown at the left into the top input (no jumper), everything on ten. Speaker cab, '57, that's it. Reverb from the software.It was ridiculously loud. {censored} was falling off of shelves. But I plugged in the hotplate and it basically sounds the same at -12, which is a lot more reasonable.I said I wouldn't do half-assed clips, but oh well. Here's another one. This has a fuzz and wah, obviously... ratter: Thanks for posting the clips. I thought the first one was kick arse, maybe a bit sharp for my personal liking, but very cool nonetheless. 2 quick questions: how was the mic positioned? are those hot/med output buckers in the guitar? The reason I ask is if I dime my SLP with my LP Classic I need to back off the volume on the guitar to keep the tone "tight". It still has plenty of distortion though. Just roll the volume up for nice liquidy/effortless/cutting leads. Man I'm old skool. -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anti-flag193 Posted March 23, 2006 Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 The second clip was awesome. I've been looking for a fuzz. How much does the one you have cost? Maybe I missed it, but what speakers were you using? Sounded great man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychodave Posted March 23, 2006 Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 Originally posted by carlygtr56 A bit hashy treble, but cool.I had that head, I'd run pedals into it clean:)2nd clip- great! Stick an MXR phase 90 and an echoplex in front of the amp and you will need that treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can even mess with the volume knob of my guitar with good results. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Whammyless Posted March 23, 2006 Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 Noice, digged all 3 clips. I've got a 1959SLP as well but haven't dimed it yet. I used to own 2, sold them, now I've got one again. I dimed one of the first ones I had, and loud isn't the right word. I had the guitar cable running under the door and the door closed. It wasn't just loud, but overwhelmingly, envelopingly powerful. Huge sound, like a huge wave hitting you. No way I could stay in the same room with that.

I'll try to do some better clips as the days go by. The mic was probably straight on, center of the cone. The pickups are pretty damn hot, but not very thick sounding. They're pretty bright/sharp pickups. People mentioned the tight bass? I wonder if it's a tranny issue? I don't remember the tranny on the SLP being like this one...this one is the biggest stack I've ever seen. It's like 3 and a half inches...I'll have to post a pic. So I wonder if that contributes to a tighter bottom? Or maybe I'm just talking out my ass...I have no idea... Originally posted by anti-flag193 The second clip was awesome. I've been looking for a fuzz. How much does the one you have cost? Maybe I missed it, but what speakers were you using? Sounded great man. Thank you. I hesitate to recommend this one a bit because it was about $150, and it's built like {censored}. I opened it up and it looks like a 3rd-grader put it together. But it sounds awesome, so I guess that's what counts. It really seems to mate well with this amp, too. Originally posted by psychodave Stick an MXR phase 90 and an echoplex in front of the amp and you will need that treble. Yeah, the second VH clip has the echoplex in line. Maybe that helped toned that clip down a bit... Originally posted by bstaley That was some old fashoined tube goodness. The day a POD can do that I would sell my tube rig. Right on! You'll have to get out here and check it out. You wouldn't even have to stop, just drive by and you'll hear it... Originally posted by yngzaklynch No {censored}. Mike I'm guessing thats the tone you've been wanting. Am I correct? Sounds badass! I was actuallyl shooting for the second clip sounds, so that was a success. But just for the hell of it I dimed everything and I was shocked at how it sounded. I don't think I really captured it well but in the room it was intense. You'll see....So much for the "stock plexi" not able to do the brown sound thing... Originally posted by DirrtyCraig Great clip,, I agree a bit much treble,, and tune that B string,, (hee hee just ribbin ya) Love this tone! How do you know that the B string wasn't in tune and the other 5 weren't out? Originally posted by Rezzer Its officially a tone machine. Nice brown sounds.

Members carlygtr56 Posted March 23, 2006 Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 They got a 1959HW here locally, but I haven't plugged it in. $2800!!! I never opened the fuzz....didn't see the insides!

I never opened the fuzz....didn't see the insides! Just thought the 1st clip was too bright. Why did you snip the bright cap off the Normal channel? I wouldn't have paid $2,800. Mainly because I don't have it! I got several hundred off that price, like new with unfilled warranty card, etc. For that, I think it's a good deal. The KR fuzz is pretty nasty on the inside. But it kills, so I don't care. I ordered it as soon as I heard the clips on their site. But fuzzes in general are kinda pissing me off. Even moreso than OD pedals it seems like without the right amp set the right way, even the best fuzz pedal isn't really worth a {censored}...The bright cap...I don't plan on diming it most of the time, and it was just thinning it out too much. There's plenty of treble there without the cap obviously. And I think I prefer to run straight into the first input rather than jumping channels...so *snip*...

Members steve10358 Posted March 23, 2006 Members Share Posted March 23, 2006 Awesome clips. More proof that Marshalls DO NOT need to be modded to sound like that. That first clip is just great. I love that chirpy whack that the VH clip has. That is sooo vintage sounding and growly. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
