Thought about the guitar tone?

One word mate


EVIL

You got the stock tubes in?

 

[MarkG]

Yeah tubes are stock. I've got some spares lying around but they are just EHX and Sovteks, so I'm not sure they're an improvement.

 

[motomoto]

TBH mine came with faulty tubes, so i can't judge the stock ones.
I went straight to the shop to buy new tubes but they only had groovetubes.
So i got a pair of those.They sounded good.Warm is the right word.
But after a month or so i ordered some sovteks and the sound became more tight and gainy.
I believe most ppl using the e530 here, suggest JJ's.
I really wanna try those

It sounds good!. To be honest,I can't remember listening to a bad sounding clip out of that little beast! Are you happy with it? I consider buying one..
What recabinet impulses did you use? Did you blend 2 recabinet impulses in one guitar with LeCab? I think though,that the engl impulse is Poidaobi's and not Catharsis'. I might be wrong though..

So far I'm very happy with it. Its taking better to impulses than my Blackmore, sounds a bit more organic.

I quad tracked.

2 tracks blending these:
Recabinet demo 1960a sm 57 edge45 0_5 and either cap or cone from the same folder, I forgot

2 tracks blending these:
1960a sm 57 edge45 0_5 and englv30higherpres-01.

If that is Poidaobi's impulse I apologize...I mix them up because the names are so similar.

 

[MarkG]

Might sound a bit phasey...GAH what the hell

 

[DaWolf]

Could you post your settings on the 530, please ?

 

[MarkG]

Sure. Channel 4, contour on and everything at 7/10

 

[DaWolf]

Thx !
Surprising that it has not more mids with that setting...I have not tried to go into impulses though.

7 mids + contour on? Thats a lot of mids my friend.

I know , that`s why I was surprised when I saw the settings after hearing the tone. That`s what I meant.

Well considering all the settings are at 7, it balances out somewhat.

 

[DaWolf]

Anyway, they seem to work for you. That`s what counts.

Great tone! Thanx for sharing.

Thanks for listening

I'm still working on it. Gareth mentioned its a bit phasey and now he mentioned it I think he is right.
