NCD (New Clip Day): Bogner EL-34 Shiva time ; )
Hey guys,
as promised over in the Bogner thread, I figured I'd play around with getting some sounds tracked and decided to use a Stone Temple Pilots song as the platform.
Amp is a Bogner EL-34 Shiva (non reverb model / older version aka gold footswitch non green chassis ones). It's put through a Bogner 4x12 with all Vintage 30s. Guitar is my trusty PRS McCarty with Wolfetone Marshallheads. Preamp is the standard fair API 3124+, Shure SM57 and Royer R-121 mics on the different V30 cones straight on; conversion is done from my Apogee Ensemble. Recorded in Logic Pro at 96k.
Rhythm tones are the overdrive channel with the bridge pickup (royer on the left and sm57 on right), the few wanking lead parts are the neck pickup with the overdrive + boost sections from the Shiva itself. The clean intro is the middle position (aka bridge and neck) through the clean channel on the Shiva.
Hopefully this will give some insight as to what the older Shivas sound like. Not much was really tweaked after having it recorded; I cut the Royer by a few db (the lowend can be overwhelming if not EQ'd and I kept it dry) and put a limiter on the master bus to keep it from clipping when I introduced the lead parts (normally compression and EQing would take care of that, but I didn't want to color it in any way).
Like it? Hate it? Think I should get a new hobby? Send comments my way
