Typical disclaimer: I suck, yadda yadda, bad quality video, webam, etc..

'79 Les Paul into delay and flanger. Channels jumped, PPIMV at 9:00. channel volumes up REAL high. Mids maxed, presence noon, bass off, treble at around 2:00.

Sounds ballsy in the room. In the clip, sounds compressed and a bit fizzy. But, If I record with the PPIMV up any higher, it'll clip the camera's microphone. So, this is all you're getting :)

Sounds good. What year is your Les Paul? I've got a silver burst too. :)

Speakers are V30's?

Thanks :)

It's a '79. I love SB's. What about your's? Pics? And yeah, speakers are V30's. I want a 4x12 with Greenbacks or Blackbacks. Then I think it'll sound much better. Also might put the NFB on the 8 ohm tap. May tighten it up a little.

Mine's an '89. No pics, sorry.

I just guessed that you had V30's since Mesa has those stock. It kind of sounds like it on the video too (aggressive upper-mids). I'm really not a fan of them. Check out Scumbacks when you're speaker shopping. Highly recommended. :rockon:

Your's must not be a Custom, then? They stopped making 'em in '84. Yeah, I'm familiar with Scumbacks. But I think I'd really enjoy a Blackback if you can still find them.

Actually, it is a Custom and it's an '83, not '89. :oops: I must have been thinking '89 since that's when I bought it. It's more of a faded green burst from years of smokey bar gigs. :lol:
