Members mutant_guitar Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Pardon me for being so late with my celebratory NAD post, but here it is. I sniped a red stripe Peavey Studio Pro 112 about 2 weeks ago on ebay for $120 shipped. I was very disappointed to find the speaker it arrived with was buzzing, but after a few emails with the seller, I was able to get some money kicked back. I ripped a speaker out of another amp I had lying around that I never use, and all is well. Not mine, obviously. I have recording equipment, but not a camera. So far I'm not sure if I like the amp or not, but it does sound better than any of my other amps with a mic in front of it (not saying a lot, considering my other amps). The clip is a jazzy improv I came up with. I used a Boss RC2 (the click in the beginning is me starting the looper) in the effects loop to make a backing track, and went from there. The guitar used is my Warmoth Partscaster playing through a GFS Vintage 59 in the bridge. Pardon the clams. http://home.pct.edu/~cumnic87/jazzimprov.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoneNut Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Really enjoyed your playing and the the amp sounds fine to me. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CoqBelliqueux Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 That's the amp's distortion? Cool. Sounds good for recording.I like your choice of notes and timing. It's just that the beat reminds me of the RC2 I had. *nightmares* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mutant_guitar Posted June 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Thank guys! Yeah, that is the amp's distortion. I find the High Gain channel with the gain turned down sounds better to me than the vintage channel for a lower gain sound. The clean channel is pretty nice, though. I know what you mean about the RC2 beats. They're not that great, and I usually don't even bother trying to find a beat I like. I wish at least one of them was a swing beat.

Members CoqBelliqueux Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 I eventually gave up on the beats, the uneven volume of playback and the clumsy usability. It seemed like such a wonderful tool at first. Have you thought about using the other channel for harmonies (if that's a thing you like). Sometimes, a recorded tone can be better than what you hear in the room, plus it gives you different frequencies to work with. The high gain channel turned down is a good idea, though, it sounds full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mutant_guitar Posted June 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have tried recording with the vintage channel, and just did not like it. I'm not really into the guitar harmony thing. My main interest is jazz, and that's not something that happens too much in jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Citizen Cain Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Nice! It's got a good warm clean sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lobsterbush Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've had the same model Studio pro for close around 8 or 9 years. They are great amps (and seriously underrated). I like the vintage channel with the post turned up 12 or 1 o'clock and bring the volume up with the pre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bro Blue Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 It does have a nice sound, and thanks for the clips - it's nice to see someone post something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
