Supersize Your Tone Web Clip 3 

Sep 24, 2008

Web Clip 3: This example features a Gibson Les Paul into a Mesa Boogie MK IV head. The amp's direct out is patched to my MW1 preamp then into the Digidesign Eleven modeling plug-in, with split stereo 4X12 cabinets. Eleven’s heads were bypassed, so the Boogie did the ‘dirty’ work. Note that there is a SoundToys EchoBoy DDL and an impulse response of a spring reverb from AudioEase Altiverb on the guitars, as well. ...

Supersize Your Tone Web Clip 2 

Sep 24, 2008

Web Clip 2: In this example of a dual amp setup, I played a Fender Jaguar Bartione through both a Gibson 1962 Falcon amp and a Magnatone M10A amp, in stereo, which gives an almost natural chorus effect due to the differences in the amp tones. Each amp has only one mic, the Royer 121 on the Gibson and an SM57 on the Magnatone. The signals from the two amps are panned hard left and right to widen the image. Again, no absorbers are in front of the amps, although this was recorded in the amp closet. ...

Supersize Your Tone Web Clip 1 

Sep 24, 2008

Web Clip 1: The guitar parts in this example were recorded using a Fender Tele into a Gibson 1962 Falcon amp. The slightly dirty rhythm track has vibrato on it. There is a single Royer 121 ribbon mic on the amp, and the reverb is the Gibson's spring. There's no blanket in front of the mic/amp, just the closet. The heavy Tele part is using additional plug-in based distortion on top of the amp sound, to give it some extra drive. ...

Pro/File: East Village Opera Company Web Clip 2 

Sep 24, 2008

Web Clip 2: In this snippet from "Help Me (Jove, In Pity)," you can hear Kiesewalter's big-sounding stereo electric piano, which consisted of a Wurlitzer through a Fender Vibro Champ mixed to one side, and a double through Digidesign's Velvet plug-in, mixed to the other side. ...

Review: Synapse Audio Orion Web Clip A 

Sep 24, 2008
