For a lack of better words, it Sounds Chewy!!! I dig it!
With that said, Id like to hear what it sounds like after it has been broken in a bit.

Is there a healthy dose of PPIVMV there? How often are your other clips high volume anyway?

wow man - that sounds great to me. can i have it? :wink:

what is the spec? 69 with low filtering + PPIMV?

when you say "george's transformers" what transformers exactly are you referring to?

it seems to have a pleasing depth to it.

details details...

:D

Why did you swap darkburst for JB? Which one do you prefer and why? Have you tried the SD78?

Sounds really good Mark.

Have you tried the Jose Master yet? I have to wait until next week to try it.

You still running 32uf in the PI?

'Sounds great. Does it clean up when rolling down the volume pot on the guitar? A clip including that would be interesting.

Great job! 8)

all of your clips are impressive but the 2203 spec sounded best....over the internet of course.....HHMM....tell us Mark how the clips sound when you actually record them s opposed to how they sound over the net!!?? I am curious as to how accurate the 2 are.

Thanks
