Two tones for blues

[Marinblues]

I'm glad to post something again after a while. Here are 2 different tones I was playing around with my gear:


Anderson Strat + Tube Factor + Engl Screamer:

Fender Tele + Banzai Fireball + Engl Screamer:

Which one do you like better?

thanks

Marin

Cool tracks! :headbang:

The Strat+H&K sound was much more pleasing to my ears but not as ballsy as the Tele+Banzai. So I preferred the second one, but I'd love to hear a clip with the Tele+Tubefactor combination.

Both tracks kicked :headbang:

I also liked the second one best because it is more "edgy"

You mean you preferred the first one? (Strat + TF)

I'll reverse the guitars and rerecord some samples. I am curious as well.

thanks.

Yeah, the speaker seems to respond better. Also, after it came back from the amp tech. there was a Groove Tubes 12ax7 in there for some reason so I put back the original JJ. Also, I am miking the amp at the edge of the cone at an angle (less harsh).

The Jensen speaker really does have more bass and slightly "fenderizes" the amp.

thanks.

No, I liked the second one more because of the extra edge it had.

Yep! Well! Strat ruled the day man! Thinner tone than the Tele but sounds better for blues. I prefer thin rather than fat for blues but thick and ballsy for jazz. And this is how it was this day, Sept. 11, 2006. I am Osensei signing out!

Yep! Some awsome chops you've got Marin...

I liked the Tele - Banzai Fireball better. I felt that the first one was too "restriced" tonewise, it didn't breathe like I wanted to do.

So the Tele for me

Man, this thread is so old!!!!!

I should really discontinue that first take...some serious bum notes there!:chairfall

I must say that, in the end, I personally preferred the final version of this blues which I did with the Tele and NO OVERDRIVE PEDALS!!!!
