Roadster "Classic" Tones

[jesserides2005]

For all of you that wonder if you can get a non-Metal tone out of the dual recto series of amps, here's a clip of me noodling on my Roadster to answer your questions. I personally think this is a killer sound and is not metal or fizzy at all.

Roadster Clip:

Gibson Historic '57 Gold Top RI Les Paul

Recorded straight into a Boss BR1600CD with no external EQ or effects.

The different gain levels are from rolling off the volume knob on the guitar.

Nice sound, I like it.

Sounds good. I like it as well!

What about combining/mixing the different channels of your Roadster and Stiletto together and recording some clips sometime?

Such as mixing: both clean, clean Roadster and driven Stiletto, driven Roadster and driven Stiletto.

Really curious how they sound together. Could be spectacular or uneventful.

OK, But...what I really want to know is what setup you were using on those bottom two clips? Roadster? I like em

The bottom clips are all the built in modeling feature's of the BOSS BR1600CD. I believe it's the COSM software from the GT-6? I wish I was tech savy enough to really utilize those feature's 'cause I think you can really do quite a bit with that unit. Maybe someday I'll take the time to actually figure out how it all works?

Thanks for the positive comments! I appreciate it!
