Re: quick dumb tone test

Considering it's a phone, sounds good! Was it head-crunching loud in the room?
 
Re: quick dumb tone test

nah, well, not for me, the amp was with the volume on two and half, is an old peavey transtube envoy (bandit's little brother, but still 40w) i ran both my od and eq on the first riffs
 
Re: quick dumb tone test

I think you have failed the tone test! Actually, is that possible? When someone does a tone test, who grades it? I would have to hear it from a better recording to assess it properly.

the above is not to be taken seriously, not that anyone every takes me seriously anyway.

Don't know what phone you used but the IPhone does a fantastic job providing you place it in the right location for the tone you want (cab thunk or room sound) and don't drive it into distortion
 
Re: quick dumb tone test

Example: the IPhone is close enough to get cabinet thunk and some room ambience. This is exactly what my rig sounds like...

The only reason I flunked you is because 'tone' is not the word used to describe the character or quality of a musical sound or voice as distinct from its pitch and intensity. It's timbre. I've been made to feel bad for that mistake for almost a year now.

I'll refer you to my lecturer. He employs electroshock therapy, which is why I can't say "the T word" anymore, except for timber.
 
Re: quick dumb tone test

wow your butcher does electroshock teraphy!!!
what he uses an ac transformer or a dc capacitor?, if wich kind, paper in oil, electrolitic, and how that affects your tone?, does it affects more than the strap?
