What does this sound like?

[Anonymous]

Ben Kenney has amazing tone (both bass and guitar). Out of the F-30, Lone Star Special, and Stiletto Ace (the amps he uses), what do you think this sounds the most like? I know absolutely nothing about Mesas outside of Marks and Rectifiers.

To me it sounds like a clean amp and a Stiletto on the crunch channel.

Yeah I was thinking it sounded more like the Stiletto, but I've never heard the other amps.

Hey, It's Ben here.
Thanks for the compliments and thanks for checking out my stuff. I'm surprised to see it turn up on the boards here. The rhythm tracks on that song are cut with a Strat through an F-30 head. The gain is kinda low (believe it or not), the contour is on and the mids are cranked. I turn the F-30 up pretty loud at the master and send it out to a EV loaded Thiele. I then mic the Thiele with a Royer 121 and an AKG 414. The solo is also a Strat but it was recorded with a THD Univalve head. Thanks again for checking me out. I'm pretty psyched to find this on the boards tonight. Be well,
-Ben

I didn't expect to see you on here! I'm really anxious to try out a F-30 now.

I really enjoy your music btw (both solo and with Incubus).

Thanks for posting this link. I'd have missed this CD and the upcoming live show had it not been for this post
