Here's some clean samples i recorded from the valvetronix First - Boutique Clean, Dumble Model Second - Vox AC30TB Third - Black 2x12 - Twin Reverb model. Alnico 2 Pro neck in an Ibanez SZ...

I stuck a SM57 in front of my ad30vt, messed around with the postitioning for about 2 hours and came out with this 20mins later. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=490220 The speaker really sounds awful and eventually i'll get a summer job to buy a new Stiletto and an Avatar 2x12

Most of the recordings i ever hear on these Vox modelers are all direct recordings, which imo dont sound all that great and are really fizzy and muddy compared to the real amp. But sadly these amps come with some pretty crappy speakers. I put an SM57 in front of my ad30vt and did a quick stereo...

So initially the stock pups in my guitar where very dark and muddy. So i went ahead and got some of the brightest SD's and put em in, much improvement. But I've always thought they were not right, i figure its just my amp. So i plug into a Stiletto, a bright amp. They sound real nice sweet and...

I took one of my old beater guitars and see if i could do any electrical mods for the sake of learning something. Well i played it and of course it was a muddy mess. I then disconnected the tone pot to get some clearity, to my surprise it worked, very well too. I switched to the neck pickup...

Ok i', on a very, very cheap budget for simple recording, all i need is to lay down tracks then transfer it to my computer for editing. I'm considering: Tascam 4 track: $100 SM57: $90 XLR to 1/4 transformer: $20 or a Podxt: $200 now i dont need the extra versatility so the pod will end up...

When i record with my mic i usually have the amp as loud as normal talking volume and the mic input pretty high. The tone i get seems somewhat thin and distanced but the high end sounds very good. Now when i crank the amp to around the loudness of a house party i can get some pretty nice tones...

So i switched the ground and hot on my bridge to get the screw coil when playing split, now the neck is out of phase, but not soo bad so it kinda sounds cool. But I'm wondering if i should reverse my neck aswell, the neck uses the slug coil split and i was wondering if there was any benefit or...

On my 3 switch it has the common 1. Bridge 2. both humbuckers 3. Neck setup, but instead of having both buckers on, is there a way i can wire it so the middle position is one of the coils from the neck? The switch has 12 terminals and the extra wires from the pickups are soldered to some of...

Ok I'm in a bit of a pickle here. Some guy i know is offering me a very slightly used Pearly Gates bridge pickup for a rediculiously low price. But the problem is I've had my eye on a Alnico 2 Pro. The APH-1 has exaclty everything i want in a bridge bucker. I like some of the aspects of the...

I'm starting to get sick of high output pups that are extremely dark from being overwound. I want a nice bright paf output bridge pickup to go in an all mahogony guitar with a maple top. I also want some nice punchy mids for leads, aswell as a tight low end. Lots of clarity too. I also prefer...
