Members ratter Posted December 11, 2005 Members Share Posted December 11, 2005 Or does it still let you get the more classic page/hendrix/cream/etc tones at more reasonable volumes? In other words, does it kill the "vintageness" of the tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go get that 4x12 tomorrow. Although, there was a SD45 on the gear page for $1300 . If too many more of those deals come up, I will own one before the snow melts in the spring! Vlad - any chance you'd be able to do a lower-gain classic rock kind of clip with the master down a bit? I'm wondering if the mv is worth the trouble, or if just running the amp cleaner, with the hotplate, and an OCD would do just as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the Germino + HP + OCD, but with my SL, running the amp clean and using the SD-1 as the OD, it didn't quite sound like it should. It didn't sound bad, but it didn't have that Plexi-type vibe. I'll go record a quick clip of the SL with Rich Mod up about 1/2 way and the HP at -16 db Basically bedroom volume. No boost and Vol I around 5-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know if it's possible to keep the vibe and not get into a heavier type of sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know if it's possible to keep the vibe and not get into a heavier type of sound. Ok man... here you go... 2 clips for comparison... This first one I did with the MV at 3:00, SD-1 as a clean boost, Vol I at 10, Vol II at 4 (channels jumped). This was pretty loud!.. Hotplate at -16db, deep and bright off http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=3196135&q=hi This one is straight to the amp. MV at noon. Everything else is the same, except Vol I is at 6. http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=3196132&q=hi The cab has 2 reissue Greenies and 2 Private Jacks (on their way out ). Guitar is mahogany 24 3/4" super strat with a JB in the bridge and a PAF Pro in the neck. SM57 -> Presonus Blue Tube to PC (running Cubase SX). Reverb and delay added in Cubase.

I had an Aiken Intruder and a Matchless DC30 with PPIMV's and they sounded nice n vintage. BUT, I think I prefer the sound of Pre PI MV's........the PPIMV's just sounded more "thin" to me.

BUT, I think I prefer the sound of Pre PI MV's........the PPIMV's just sounded more "thin" to me. Really?? I'm not in any hurry to do it, but I just wanted to learn about the options. I was thinking about another possibility: run through the 4x12 when volume isn't a problem. I can keep a 1x12 in a nearby closet with a mic and monitor it back in my romper room when volume is a problem. Maybe build a crude iso box inside the closet. The only thing I'm missing for that scenario is the speaker to put in the 1x12 cab. Then I could leave the amp unmolested.... Vlad, I thought those clips sounded real good. Thanks for doing that. The PPIMV obviously definitely doesn't "ruin" the tone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
