Does this sound any better?

[JeffB]

Messing around with a new way to record...

First clip at top....ML79

Still got some fine tuning I think...but...

EDIT: This is all relative however..I know my clips sound like crap..I just mean compared to older ones

Sounds good, man. Louder and clearer than the other clip. That guitar sounds nice. Have you changed the pups yet? Are you going to?

Thank You...and good...glad to hear it's clearer.Those are the stock "cheap" pups. I don't know if I'm gonna change 'em or not, LOL. They have a nice "hot" PAF vibe to them that I kinda like...well at least the bridge. Neck is a little muddy.

Same with the pickups in my Dean. I like the bridge, but the neck pup is boomy, muddy, weak and useless under gain. It has an acoustic-like clean tone which is neat, but I don't really have any use for it.

Yep...mid gain the neck pup is decent...and clean...also good in the middle position for a nasty blues sound...but a little muddy/boomy under higher gain.

It's a buzzy little thing, but fun to play through :smash:

I figure if I had a real mic, and added some reverb/delay it would record really good! :bigthumb:

They can get better by the way, but the guy who does it lives here in Denmark

It sounds clearer, Jeff. That little Marshall records better than the POD IMO. You hear more of the guitar itself with it. Still a lot of background hiss but that's what happens with PC mics. I so want to get one of those little Marshalls.

I think it's really the fact that the POD/Atomic use the simulated mics...and when ya turn em off it sounds like @$$...so ya need to leave it on...but you are getting a "faux recorded" sound...then ya record that "faux recorded" sound...so it's darker/less clear. BTW..got your emails... replying now :bigthumb:

I know I should..but I'm just not into making any elaborate recordings or writing music, etc. That why all my clips are just bits and pieces..it's ntohing serious really...I play alot more varied/different generally...have a hard time with recording though.."stagefright" I guess? :shrug:

Covering Hendrix without a strat!? Blasphemy!!!

Nice, I love those amps. My school has that amp, and I use it in the jazz band there. Of course I warm up with all my rock and blues licks through the distorted Marshall. Great little amp. Nice tone too.

:22: I think that's the only hendrix song I ever bothered to "learn" how to play. It would def sound better with a Strat! :bigthumb: But then again...single coils sound like crap through most SS amps IME...especially these...they get very thin.

tell me about it.. i can play a riff or a lead line perfectly, but when it comes to recording i always manage to screw it up one way or another..


i call it the 'red light fewer'



pathetic isnt it?
though i am trying to get over it - it grows less the more you record i think
