BOSS KATANA MKII 50W + DRIVE PEDALS?!!

A quick listen to the BOSS KATANA 50W MKII with drive pedals in front of it. First is clean, then the EHX CRAYON OVERDRIVE. Second is the classic PROCO RAT2. BOTH ARE CRANKED TO FULL VOLUME AND GAIN. Amp gain is 3 O'Clock. so almost full. And the it's going through it's clean channel with the red light engaged. Meaning Variation 2 is being used.

I am playing an EPIPHONE LES PAUL MODERN PELGAM BLUE. Yes color of guitar effects tone! Seriously!!! and am recording cab into a Behringer SL75C Dynamic Microphone. (an SM57 CLONE OF COURSE).

Marshall Amplification Teams Up With Mini For 60th Anniversary

                           

The Mini Remastered Marshall Edition: is an amp-themed car with a DSL1 combo built into its trunk!

       Talk about a Rock N' Roll car Collab! Announced about a week ago. This is a combo of two of my favorite companies. I love Mini's. Especially, older ones. But amplify the coolness, with none other than Marshall. Done deal. Rather your into amps, guitars cars or both it's just cool. 

    Now of course, don't start wondering when or where you can get yours unless you think you can mange to get one of the 60 that they plan to make. Now obviously that puts a huge price tag. It's a collectors item for a few different markets. And certainly more than 60 people with the means to purchase will be looking to do so. So who knows how much that will make them in the end! But UK based Top Gear estimates between £100,000- £131,000 though. So not crazy! But hey how many of us guitar, amp, or even car guys have that amount to burn.

    But we can all dream. Haha! And some of you maybe one who is learning about this right now, thus you are now dead set on getting one! Then you do! I beg, please!!! If anyone out there who sees this gets one. Please comment, send pics, video, hell just brag about it! I got to see and hear from someone who gets to own. I'm sure, others who read this would love that opportunity, and update. So if you become one of the coolest people by default after acquiring this piece of greatness. Please contact me through e-mail on contact page.

Tone Secret Of The Pro's

                     CHASING TONE:

     As guitar players we all want that sweet sound that is just perfect to us. And of course to everyone listening. We want to cut through the mix when we solo. And really all the time to be honest, haha. Some are occasional explores, some mess with tone often, then there are us just straight tone tweakers. Even if you have your tone set, this is worth exploring.

   So I just did a post about using an OD into a RAT 2, in order to achieve more full on fuzz sound. But I also added, that you can change the voice and expression of this idea, with an EQ pedal. The power of an EQ pedal is so over looked. Like for example big muffs have a mid scoop. Some may want those mids back. Many have used a Tube Screamer type OD for this. Well instead more efficient, and precisely an EQ pedal will fill this role much better. Maybe you it's an amp, a guitar, or some other pedal. EQ IT! I find that placing it after my drives is where it really shines.

         What First EQ To Get?

   I wanted to try this out after seeing it recommended by true pros. So I went with Behringer. For $25, to test out in the bedroom. Unbeatable. Now there are some fancy EQ'S out there, but they all do the same thing. With the exception that some have more bands then others to attenuate, or accentuate. The one I got has seven. It's a direct copy of the boss EQ. It is a good pedal. Certainly if you aren't planning to gig it. And just a quick word, on Behringer. They actually supply companies like JHS with parts they use to build their pedals. As well as , many others. They clone just about anything popular, but they do pretty good at it. If you are looking to try something you haven't then they are great for this. I will be doing a video on my Behringer EQ very soon. Look out for that!!!
