guess the amp...unboosted highgain

[LSD-Studio]

hey...
this is a tricky one....

I was just fannying about with this amp again and recorded a short bit (very old strings etc)....

I was going for a thick/juicy highgain-tone with a fat/creamy bottomend that is not toooo loose.

doubletracked,no boost or anthing (just 60/12k HP/LP)....

go and guess!

march of the vikings

(I'm fully aware that it's a shitload of gain....but I wasn't going for the ultratight tone this time

could you elaborate a bit more on 'my sig-preamp' please?

 

[Metaltastic]

I think he means the Powerball (mentioned in his sig), but I could be off...

I think he means into the Powerball's preamp and then into the Recto power amp. I could be wrong though.

 

[LSD-Studio]

no, it's actually my signature-amp....

I think I posted about it some time ago...

I helped developing it, the builder is a small german cutom-builder (the word "boutique is so overused nowadays).
He sent me different versions to try and asked me what I'd wanna have changed, improved etc.

it ended up being a 3ch preamp (discrete channel design).
the clean is roughly based on a dumble, the overdrive on Soldano X88R and the lead somewhere between SLO and Engl, it's got some switching options (slope R's etc) and is switchable via midi.

the channel designes are just "based" on said amps, they are tweaks to how I like them...

let me dig out a pic...

not the best pics though

Ah nice! Expensive?

Ah nice! Expensive?

I helped developing it so...no

I think it's possible to get it a a DIY-kit, should be pretty cheap then

 

[Metaltastic]

Oh right, that one! I always remember you referring to it as "your Soldano clone" in the past, so I didn't know there was more going on than that! Bitchin'
