Some rough mixes of some new tunes... JTM45

[Bob]

Just hit the studio on Saturday and laid down vocals, rhythm guitars, and bass with our new bass player on a couple of tunes... we did drums and leads about a month ago.

Keep in mind, the mixes are pretty rough at this point, but I'm digging the guitar tones anyway.

Left speaker is me with my Warmoth Telecaster Deluxe with Burstbuckers (1 & 2) through my modified Metro JTM45 (MV, some different cap values, SS rectifier) w/ a slant Marshall 4x12 w/ G12H Heritage. Close mic'd with a Royer ribbon mic (centerish) and a vintage Shure SM5 (on the outside edge of the cone).

Right speaker is Tony (tfrost33) with his R7 Les Paul with Wolfetone Marshallheads through a straight Marshall 4x12 w/ Weber Greenbacks, mic'd about the same.

Leads are a variety... Tony's leads (the initial leads on both tunes) are the R7 through the JCM800 and an Epiphone Valve Jr., then Doubled. My leads on 'Bodies' are my R8 Les Paul w/ Wolfetone Dr. Vintage pickups through my JTM45 and a Fender Blues Jr., doubled. My lead on 'Split' is the R8 on one take, and the Telecaster on the other take, front pickup. All leads were a combination of the SM5 and a Cascade ribbon mic.

Let us know what you think... overall the vocals need to come up, the bass down, and the whole mix needs some brightening.

That sound really good man, big and full. Care to share what the mods are that you did?

LarMar MV, which I actually did use to turn the amp down just a bit when recording... took out some harshness.

Replaced PI coupling caps with .047uf.

Replaced V1 K 330uf cap w/ 25uf cap.

Solid state rectifier (just the metro plug in one).
