Mark I reissue w/Les Paul

[CitizenCain]

Here's a clip I did this weekend using my recently acquired Mark I reissue and a Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Studio.

Both the guitar and amp are stock. Clip is guitar > cord > amp, as Nature intended

Nice Clip!

****, I thought honey was gonna start dripping from my speakers! Very well done.

Thanks, gents!

Actually, it's kind of misleading to say everything is stock. It is, but I've got the MK I running on a pair of 6V6s in Tweed power mode and pumped it through the Celestion V12-80 in a 1x12 combo I have. That box is the size of an 18w Marshall cab. Makes it sound a lot bigger than the MK's cab. That's one of the reasons I want to convert this to a head

Refreshing !

Nice tone & playing too.

That song sounds like it should be in a movie or something ! Some mobster movie w/ old cars where they drive thru the desert to burry something.

Cool mann ! Cool !

WOW, that was a great clip. Keep up the good work.

 

[CitizenCain]

Thanks guys!

If you look close at the picture, you can see the settings I used except for Vol 1 and the Master Vol.

For the clip it's set pretty much like this...

Vol1=6+
Vol2=6+
Master=3
Treble=6+
Bass=2-
Middle=4+

Could you tell us something about your mic placement ? :shock:

 

[CitizenCain]

I use an old audio-technica PR325 mic. It's the only mic I have, I should really get a newer mic. This is supposed to sound pretty much like an SM57 for a reference.

The speaker was miced off-axis about 6" from the grille. At the vol I was playing at, if I get it much closer it starts to overload. For final positioning I strum the strings and move the mic around, listening through my headphones until it sounds the way I want. That ended up being slightly off-center to the left and angled back pointing to the area just to the right of the dust cap.

This all varies depending on the vol/speaker/cab/guitar I'm using at the time. The process is the same, and I usually end up pretty close to this setup, but with minor changes.
