Thursday Burst & Bluesbreaker on FULL TILT.

[Guest]

Been awhile since I've posted any clips or anything here...

And I know that I'm not the only one digging the vintage
Bluesbreaker & Les Paul tone combination. So here's a little
noodling around for those who'd like to hear those tones!

The Bluesbreaker is fitted with yellow jackets and JJ EL84 so it's only ~18watts now. In other words it's not nailing the Clapton Beano KT66 tones. But I still think it does some vintagevibey tones quite well.

The preamp tubes and the rectifier tube need a change though and unfortunately I think you can hear it. As the tone is not perfect as it is now :sad:

Thursday Burst is plugged straight in on the lower volume treble input. Volume is kept between 8-10 all the time. Treble, mid and bass varies a lil. Some rollin off on the guitar volume in places.

You get some Whole Lotta Love, some Blues noodling, some chord work, some Van Halen stuff (suprise ) and last some Cream riffin'.

Yeah, I know the timing isn't good GoldenV. It was just a quick noodling tone test so I didn't pay attention to that. No excuse though, I should work on my timing. It should be printed in so that you wouldn't play sloppy... even on noodlings and tone tests

Thanks Rid! I really like the tone myself, funny though I have a hard time to get tones this vintage sounding to fit into my recordings and songs. I write too modern songs for that I guess More practise on that as well... hehe! And I have to admit, looking forward to a tube change on the Bluesbreaker, but new TAD tubes all round is about 100€ so it feels a little on the steep end right now. Have to save some dough first
