Tried out the Windsor for the first time

[ahjteam]

that thing sounds very sweet in the room, just the kind of thing I was looking for, but I had a bit of a problem getting it sound as good recorded. sorry for the sloppy playing

Ibanez Artcore - Ibanes TS9 - Peavey Windsor - HB 2x12 cabinet with V30's - SM57

Any comments?

edit: I also tried out the marshall mode four I bought earlier this year, different playing and different mic position:

And then I just combined them into quadtracked performance, mode four takes on the left and windsor takes on the right: (panned L100 L80 R80 R100, center ones dropped 2dB)

that tone really isn't that bad i kinda dig it. sounds kinda static like but i think it fits that riff perfect

A touch muffled, and the playing could be tighter, but sounds cool overall!

A touch muffled

well, the master volume IS at 0.75, gotta love the neighbours but honestly, I don't really understand why this thing goes up to 12 on the master, thats just insane.

Haha, yeah, I've heard they pack a wallop - nice to know you have all that power should you ever need it anyway!

Do note that Anssi is playing a hollowbody

...with old strings and passive pickups I'll change the strings tomorrow and well see how radically it changes the tone

I tried out the mode four too now that I finally got the cab too...

The riff it´s very cool but I find the tone too harsh IMO.

 

[DominikJW]

Agreed ^ sounds very raw

 

[rchoi54]

not bad. the fizz could still go down a tid bit more.

++ if you don't mind some musical advice, having a center track of a lead/high would make it sound sweeter than it already is.

Yeah, they're called vocals, and they are absent atm, but don't you worry, they are coming
