so i got bored and had a drink and a jam with my good friend jack (daniels) all recordings were done with an epiphone SG using Marshall simulators on amplitube (its 1:am)
chain is just guitar > samson C-valve preamp > tascam us-800 (digital in) > cubase > amplitube > Izotope Ozone ( first two ONLY) > Mp3
first up is a 59/C hybrid with an A8 mag clip! that pickup is doing ALL the guitar work in this clip.
59/C8 hybrid
next is the exact same backing, but only with the 59/jazz neck A5 pickup doing the lead (still the same 59/C8 hybrid doing the rhythm) I used exactly the same amp settings and preamp/recording settings as the first one for a more accurate comparison difference between pick-ups, volume and positions)
59/Jazz A5 neck
Then I wondered what the 59/jazz neck would sound clean, so I did the next clip. this pickup is honestly the most dynamic pickup i've ever used, I did this with no compression or stereo bus processing just to keep the dynamics intact. I tried to dig in in some parts to show to how it drives the amp (simulator) more when hit harder. all the guitar work done on this is with the 59/Jazz A5.
59/jazz neck clean
ignore the crappy playing and mixing, like i said I've been chilling with my good friend jack! plus I mixed on headphones (like i said its 1 am)
I still need to tweek this guitar as I think the neck pickup is brighter and louder than the bridge pickup lol I could just be drunk though?
I might go back to A5 for the bridge and maybe try an A4 or A2 for the neck as I have messed about with pickup heights already.
my preamp is still set to the same settings that I recorded these with so I could record the mag changes for an accurate comparison?
