Just a bit of home recording: SLO clone, LP and BKPs

[Brow]

Hey guys.

I've had some spare time this week so thought I'd do a bit of recording for my own amusement:

http://soundcloud.com/browsif/master-jailbreak-slo-mules

Here's the info for the track:

Guitar: 1998 Gibson Les Paul Standard with Bareknuckle Mules

Amp: Soldano SLO copy built by my good friend Mr Tony Boyes. The amp is on the clean channel with Crunch mode engaged.

Cab: Zilla Fatboy 2x12 with Celestion Vintage 30s. Not the best speakers for this amp but it's all I have.

Microphone: Audix I5 set on axis about 1/2 way between speaker edge and centre

Boost (used on Choruses and wah parts): Digitech Bad Monkey

Wah: Homebrew Electronics Medicine Bawl Wah with vintage/yellow fasel inductor

There are some timing issues due to not being able to hear the backing track due to the amp being in the same room as me.

There's also no post production done to the track aside from a bit of panning and some trimming of noise etc.

Cool tone, dude. Could do with a tad more gain and presence I think. Or maybe it's the mic position, try moving it closer to the centre?

Thanks mate. The amp is quite bright, and with the V30s it can get shrill very quickly so I always stay on the side of caution when playing this amp at volume.

Moving it closer to the middle would round out and slightly reduce the treble.

sounds cool - I'd go with the whole rhythms boosted with the bad monkey, but that's just me. guitars sure sound full!

Cheers Bryan!

The plan was to double track my rhythms with the Splawn on 1 side and the SLO on the other (well, 40% L/R panning) but as the Splawn has blown an output valve and as I can't get any until this weekend, it wasn't an option unfortunately

Thanks!

I just do it that way for a bit of variety to be honest!
