New Amp Sounds - Axis Hardtail Content!

[Tim O'Sullivan]

So I have been trying some different rigs to play my Axis guitars through and it must be said I have been very pleased with the journey!

So I played at our weekly open mic last week, and Kirk who fronts the band has taken to recording it every week. So this is the track that he chose to mix down:

https://soundcloud.com/dirty-rumors...rty-rumors-freakjam/sets/freakjam-tracks-8714

So here is the challenge - what amp do you think I am playing through here? It's not my Line 6 Duoverb, and there are no pedals - just plugged straight in. I take the solo that starts around the 2 minute mark. The amp was mic'd with a Superlux PRA628.

Free guitar pick for whoever guesses correctly!

Wow, that clean/dirty sound is great.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

And I should add, my dirty rhythm guitar is panned right.

Your vibrato is great man. EVH 5150III?

 

[Eric O'Reilly]

Got kinda a Free , Paul Kossof thing goin there, as for the amp im gonna say an orange, 30 watt.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Your vibrato is great man. EVH 5150III?

Thank you! And close (ish)!

 

[QuietSpike]

Doesn't sound like anything Mesa/Boogie, so I'm out.

 

[Eric O'Reilly]

Peavey 5150? Soldano? Peavey jsx, or Xxx?

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Peavey 5150? Soldano? Peavey jsx, or Xxx?

Hmmmm, this is gettin fun. If i can try again, I'd say Egnator Renegade.

Wow! I was going to guess the same thing! I own the Renegade 2x12 combo and can totally hear it.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Wow! I was going to guess the same thing! I own the Renegade 2x12 combo and can totally hear it.

Well I can reveal that its a 1x12 combo, but its not an Egnator.

 

[Eric O'Reilly]

A Bogner?

 

[look_at_her]

Peavey 6505+ ????

 

[GWDavis28]

Well I can reveal that its a 1x12 combo, but its not an Egnator.

Damn Tim, I was about to guess Pignose!! Hahahahaha

Nice playing as usual man.

Thank you for the compliment!

And its not a Pignose! I will reveal later what I used! Stay tuned!

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Well now for the reveal!

So we have had: EVH 5150III, 30 watt Orange, Peavey 5150, Soldano, JSX, Xxx, Egnator Renegade, Bongor, Peavey 6505

It was none of these though some of the guesses were close in spirit!

It was........................................



.....a Roland Cube! To be precise, a Roland Cube 80GX. No pedals, just straight in Mic'd with the Superlux Mic. I used the 'Metal Stack' settings (supposed to sound like a Peavey 5150) with some reverb.

I have had this amp for a while and been using it every week at open mic. When I heard this recording I was very pleased with the outcome!

Makes me think twice about hauling round my 70lb 2x12 combo!

 

[Eric O'Reilly]

C'mon we all gotta know! What is it?

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

C'mon we all gotta know! What is it?

As above!

 

[mtrejo]

I'm gonna guess…it could be a Soldano.

Just kidding that Cube sounds great
