I must have picked up lots of useful info over the years from TPS
Actually I did realise I haven't heard half of my guitar clean. One to try this week.
Oh and the Marshall clean sounded ok. But not as fabulous as they were making it out… mainly because it was driving!!!
I think cleans are quite hard to demo as are low gain sounds in general. They can all same a bit samey by the time they’re recorded but, playing them and especially through an amp at volume with a band, the difference in experience can be vast.
Like the Hiwatt. I’ve never heard a demo of one that makes it sound even vaguely interesting. If you just wanted that sound on a recording you could achieve something almost identical from any number of small amps. Get on on a massive stage pushing some serious air though and it makes so much more sense. It’s all about application I guess.
all in all it was a good video and thought provoking. Clean tone is all too often overlooked and that’s apparent whenever I record in local studios.
'Let's use a Hot Rd Deluxe because it is the ubiquitous budget gigging amp'.
'Now let's fix its tone with a £300 tube preamp that has a several month waiting list'.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Utter wank.
I would be interested to know how many of us use genuinely clean settings in a live environment.
i personally don’t. I have that “just breaking up” thing that can be tamed to nearly-clean with a slight turn of the guitar’s vol pot or a lighter right hand.
The minute the drums and bass kick in at the local club that'll all go straight out the window.
