Bluesbreaker w/ metro board - new song!

Here's one of the tunes I recorded recently for my band's next record:

http://www.speakeasy.org/~eamon/Morning%20Sunshine.mp3

It's 3 tracks of guitar:
80's Fernandes Strat - Captain Coconut (fuzzface) - amp
80's Fernandes Strat - Maxon AD80 analog delay - amp
Rickenbacker 330/12 - Maxon CP101 compressor, Maxon AD80 analog delay - amp

The amp has George's Bluesbreaker board, with Sozos, Vishay Dale resistors, and George's JTM45 OT. Speakers are Celestion G12H30's and tubes are JJ6L6GC's, JJECC83's, and a Weber WZ34 Copper Cap rectifier.

The strat tracks were with the normal channel about half way up, full treble, everything else about half. The fuzz track varies the fuzz with the guitar volume.

The 12 string track is with channels jumpered (Bright Vol 6, Normal Vol 4) and about the same tone settings as above. The compressor was not on heavily and was mainly just giving it smoother sustain and sparkle. During the lead part near the end the Ric fed back nicely just by standing close to the amp.

The backwards part at the end is my 80's Aria 12 string acoustic and the voice is my dad from a 78 rpm poetry recital recorded in 1948!

I keep saying it, but one of these days I'll get around to getting the tremolo working on this amp. I'm just alternately too lazy or too busy!

p.s. there's also a couple other VERY rough mixes up on my myspace page http://www.myspace.com/sterlingloons

Feel Good music... nice Eamon

That amp sounds great with those Metro parts. FM sounding for sure.
Like the hair on that Fuzz as well.

Do I understand this right? The GZ34 replaced with the Weber WZ34 Copper Cap rectifier.
What was you decision to go with that? or, was that just a replacement to just try out?..

Yeah, the WZ34 is there in place of the GZ34. The nice thing about the Copper Cap is that it acts very much like a tube rectifier (you can even specify with Weber how much voltage drop you want) but it draws no heater current. Seems to me this could help the PT to stay cooler. They ought to last forever (well, you know what I mean

) and they don't cost a lot either. I'm sold on 'em!
