Members claytonjohn18 Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 Microscopic pic is microscopic. edit: apparently it grew yeah CWT. Dude, much praise for that. I dig that song too much. The "post rock*" project I have does some similar stuff, just with more delay. *ambiguous genre But either way, I like what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "post rock*" project I have does some similar stuff, just with more delay.*ambiguous genreBut either way, I like what you're doing. thanks man. i have a hard time writing vocals for my songs but whatever. CTW was co-wrote with a friend of mine who used to play bass, then switched over to guitar and hes just naturally really really good and creative. we had fun writing that song. chisa: yeah, people write it off really quickly. i think its a really good like gritty tone. it sounds really down home and raunchy and i love it. with good tubes and a little effort, im sure anyone could enjoy the drive channel. but who needs it? turn up the normal channel!

I like the drive channels on these, just don't use too much gain. Same with the reverb, it can sound good but just a touch, it goes to overkill easy. IMO they are great sounding amps.

Members echodeluxe Posted June 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 Do not want volume knob taper. easily modded to fix. and your right robo. if you keep the gain down it sounds good. it gets really saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members echodeluxe Posted June 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 other tip: keep the gain low and use an overdrive to push the drive channel for booyah tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
