all comments are welcome.


all guitars direct with the palmer.

i don't know, i just figured more folks who have issues with recording cranked guitar sounds, without the sheer volume, would have had some interest in this..

i know from experience, nothing beats moving air!

but sometimes, you just can't pull it off....
for whatever reason.

i've heard a lot of recordings here, where the amp sounds like it's on idle...
and i know, with my old boogie, if i don't crank it at least to the eviction volume, it just ain't working....

i like the idea of the weber taking up enough of the output juice, to let the amp really breath thru the transformer....
even a subtle attenuation with the master just slightly louder than room volume, seems to feel better than room volume and the master way down...

funny, on this recording, i used the crunchiest setting i could get out of the boogie and the Palmer....
to see how in the face i could get it.
i thought it did it pretty well.

but, for what i really like for a 'signature tone', it's now much easier to get 'smooth and rich', using the standard settings and my typical 'at volume' settings on the boogie....with the weber and palmer...
than i could ever get without them.

so i need to do some recordings of THAT setup, and post, to see if maybe THAT tone gets more people interested......

or not.

:lol: You always get my vote man. Your tone now is much better now than the first time you recorded with Palmer. I still prefer the tone you got in the album though. And great music as always.

thanks trem!

the palmer, is still being experimented with quite a lot..
i've got some more recent experiments, that are giving me very close to exactly what i want....

i've also done some palmer/mic blend tracks, and those are super sweet!
