sittin around on the night I'm SUPPOSED to be celebrating my B-day (yes, I'm moping, so deal ) felt that the title of this song was appropriate to how I was feeling, LOL. It's really just the intro...too bad I can't doubletrack.

Hamer w/ 59s
POD XTL. 2203 Marshall, 75 watt Celestions. Atomic reactor. Laptop mic sittin near the speaker (it's a little Bassy/Muddy, sorry)

Excuse the f-ups.

Happy Birthday, bro.

That clip is great. The intro trills are awesome. I absolutely love the tone you get out of that setup. It definitely sounds like the Standard has a bit of influence in the sound.

That Hamer thread is killing me. Man, there's lots of nice ones in there.

Thank You. I've been Di$%ing around with it all day wth a bit of volume to it, and yes I finally think I've got some great sounds (to my ears anyway)...even with the 59s. I'm finally getting that marshall raw crunchy sound, and I think the key was to drop the 25 watt greenbacks in the patch, and go with the 75 Watt celestions...then I pulled back the mids and highs...I got it crunchier/clearer and less boomy (but good chunk still) than this clip. Through the Rivera and such the 59s are real twangy, but not with the POD XTL/Atomic... they are dang near perfect? :shrug: I finally hit a point where I said to myself quot;YES, *THIS* IS THE TONE I WANTquot;. If the Plexi-tone Rivera combo doesnt work out, I'm just gonna keep this setup for awhile. The Hamer is doing exactly what I wanted...tonally combining the best attributes from my Firebird and Paula...crunchy, thick and raw on chord work but sings on leads without sounding compressed.

happy birthday!! chris

sweet tone .....mind sending me those pod xt tones???? please!!

Thanks for the B-day well wishes

and dont mind at all Chris..but...

how do i do it?
if you mean the Atomic clips, keep in mind that thing def warms up the tone, and adds alot of low end...it sounds like a 4x12...and then I beefed the whole thing up w/ the parametric...lemme know how though, and I'll get 'em to you tomorrow evenin...I'm nursin a couple popped discs tonite

Hehe you're a hard man on yourself...cool stuff for sure.

Happy Birthday That's a killer intro and you get some nice heavy tones on the power chords there bro.

Thanks Rid. Thanks Steve!

I'll try and get up some plexi-tone clips this weekend..as well as some of the new re-tweaked patch with Celestion 75s in the POD/ATomic...VERY crunchy
