Firebird, Metro 12003, Mass 150, 4x12 cab - 2 Heritage M's, 2 Heritage H's. (1) H close miked with a 57.

The feedback dive at the end is not a trem bar. I have no clue how I did it????

My first clip was my '96 LP Studio, with a HighOrder 8.3K AlNiCo2 in the bridge slot and a HighOrder 7.6K AlNiCo3 in the neck, 500K CTS pots with Auricap .022uF's done in vintage wiring..........no pedals.
My Metro '66 JTM45/100 clone, with all carbon comp resistors (the noise was starting to come around after sitting cranked for a while!) original SoZo's, BC electrolytics, George's trannies, PEC pots........tubes were a Brimar ECC83 in V1, Telefunken ECC83's in V2 and V3, GT KT66HP's biased at 28-29mA, 530VDC on the plates............Ran unattenuated into both my 4x12's, the close-miked speaker was a Weber 30-watt Silver Bell, the mike sitting back further would have captured the Bells and the '94 Greenback RI's (2 of each in the miked cab.) Close miking was a Shure SM57, further back a CAD condenser I used for drum overheads.
Guitar settings were everything on ten, bridge pickup of course. Harmony guitars found the amp set at presence 3, bass 3, middle 7, treble 6, Volume I 8.5, Volume II at 4, plugged into the Channel I high input only (no jumper.) The second part of the track got a bump in the presence to 5.5-6, and Volume I on 10, everything else was the same (mic placement changed thanks to my son Jakey.)

Second clip was the same guitar, same cab mic'ed but the 57 was back about a foot because I wasn't capturing any highs up close.........Super PA settings were presence 6.5, bass 2.5, mids 8, treble 6.5, Normal Vol.1 on 10, all three other volumes on 5 to cut down on highs bleeding into the other channels....no jumpering though. That amp had Brimar ECC83's in V1 and V2, Telefunkens in V3 and V4, the new Tung-Sol KT66's at about 525VDC on the plates, again at about 28-29mA. Marstran 1202-84 clone output tranny, and the Marstran 20H RS clone choke, power tranny is George's Metro 1204-43 clone. George custom made the boards, I loaded them with NOS carbon comps all around and NOS Mustards; BC electrolytics, PEC pots. The clip does not do the sound of this amp justice though.

6th & 12th solo - 80s Ibanez RG470 with a SD JB in the bridge position...running through a *cough*Johnson J-station amp modeler*cough*...some kind of "plexi" settings I dialed in...bit of dly, verb, and compression.

14th solo - same basic j-station patch with a slow phase added. Stock Les Paul Standard this time.

The 6th solo is basically an early bad take of me trying to get the 14th solo down. I had given up on it because I wasn't feeling it so submitted the 12th solo as the "real" one. When Jerry asked me to do another one, I did the 14th solo...in like 10 minutes....I guess it's true what they say...if it's not happening, take a break and come back to it.

Anyways, great jamming with everyone. I'm up for another one...blues are fine with me. This time I'll actually use an amp.

Post by **VelvetGeorge** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 10:02 pm

Awesome!! Sweet playing guys.

I was gonna ask who that wah tone was. Great stuff.

Mine was My LP into my '67 with NOS Mullards through my '70 slant with G12H's.

I think I mic'ed it with my Royer going through a Neve clone preamp.
