Pardon clams.... Just a couple quicky takes. More coming.

Both clips sounded great! Clip A sounded a bit "boomier" i suspect this was because of the JJ's which in my experience have a bit boomier bass response than some of the tubes im used to (ie. tungsol RI)

Great tones as always Scott!

You don't say if you are canvassing for opinions but I'm going to stick my neck out anyway and say that I prefer the second clip's tones more, they seem 'less stiff'. It could be a change in mic placement though or settings or simply the area of the neck?


Cheers,

Paul.

Thanks Paul. Yeah, clip B was much better for me! I adjusted things a little after listening to clip A. I moved the mic a little, and also changed the blend between the SM57 and R121.

Thanks!! Comments are definately wlecome....

Awesome! My next two builds are a 50W old timer (#13 or lower) and a MusicMan 700V 100W.

Love that 700V sound! What power tubes are in there? Is that Mojotone/Heyboer iron or original Music Man iron or Custom Funk iron?

I love the top end bloom of the 2nd clip. Nice playing, as always.

scott, your bludotones always amaze me.

clip b was very cool, the first time I actually really felt the vowel quality everyone talkes around here. only similar clip was brandons ojai clip.



sooo good.

[pinner]

Nice!! At home I liked B better but at work I like A better. Seems like the upper mids are clearer on A. I see you are running it with the bludolater but is it going through the rest of the rack as well? Great playing as always......clams my a##

Hmmm, what kind of cables could these be?
