Sounds good and nicely played too. It reminds me a lot of my Night Train on the thick channel.

Yeah, I had a night train at one time. Great freaking amp! It does sound a little like that...I think you're right. Of course, the amp I'm playing is basically a hot rodded AC-15, so that makes sense...at least to me

Yet again, a cool thread is made cooler by expansion of a discussion to include broader ideas generally related to the topic. I love it!

One interesting thing to note, when talking about famous guitar tones of yesterday and today, is that these sounds get the snot compressed out of them, along with MAJOR EQing during the mixing and mastering phase. The so called "Loudness Wars" of the 1990's through today have had a MAJOR impact, at least in my mind, on the final product with regards to guitar tone on records.

I love trying to get a tone similar to something I've heard on record. It gives me a starting point, and a major education in gear usage. I do; however, suspect that even when I get something that's almost dead balls on, the reality of what that tone was really like in the studio would probably scare the crap out of me.

 

+1 Dead on in my book!!!

Damn! That sounds great! Can't wait to hear the report of how it sounds through an amp.

That clip was through my amp. Maybe you meant you wanted to hear more description about the characteristics it has through an amp?

I could write a little about that, or would you prefer more clips? I'm on vacation...it doesn't matter either way to me...I'm lounging this week!

Ah, I thought it was just the pedal to the computer.... So it sounds that good through the amp? Awesome. Have you tried it just as a stomp box unit (i.e. no amp/cab simulators)?

The recording is using the POH HD as a pedal board, without amp/cab simulators.

Finally had a chance to listen to your post. Would love to get a copy of the patch. Do you want to post to line 6 or email me. Just let me know what's easiest!
