The Boogie Board

What are you using to record with. Detail please. I'm going to get a recording setup in the next few months. Software, hardware any assistance. Hey man. Here is the signal chain: Suhr Modern Pro Boogie Mark V MESA Rectifier 2x12" Shure SM57 (close miked where the dustcap meets the cone) Interface (...

Thank you!

Are you using the GEQ for your crunch sound?

Thanks. Yes, classic Boogie V with the top two flattened off a bit. No EQ on the clean channel.

Thanks dude. Settings are explained here http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=72170

For this recording I mic'd my MESA 2x12" though. It's V30-loaded and the mic was an SM57.

I prefer the gorgeous mids and the detailed highs of the JP-2C. I feel like I can hear the strings better with that amp. I'd be happy to sacrifice the bed of extreme lows that the Mark IV has for those qualities. Ultimately though, I'd be happy with either. Great work, cheers.

Perfect posts so far. I'd add: Make sure the rear of the head is free from obstruction and well ventilated. Make sure the internal fan is on. Always warm up the amp on standby for at least 30 seconds. Check your speakers are all OK. If you have for example one blown speaker in a 4x12 it will throw o...

It's Spandex and leopard print time kids. I'm going for broke in the outro of this one. Enjoy responsibly!

First track neck single coil into tweed, second track bridge humbucker into crunch.

I was surprised how little bleed there was actually. We were on grass and in a marquee which helps I guess. There was a bit of guitar down the vocal mic, and obviously a little bit of snare in almost everything, but other than that it was pretty separated. We were all pretty close together so no pha...

80s time

Thanks. A lot of work went into the drums which are always the hardest to get right in this type of scenario. I went with a constructive approach on the EQ; looking at what was bleeding where and instead of trying to gate or EQ it out, complementing it with a corresponding EQ cut somewhere else. A g...

I normally go to around 80% of the volume I want and use the PA to add a little clarity and spread. I find it helps my singing a little bit if have the guitar a little quieter. It's still pretty loud though :) Glad you liked the sound. Our keys player runs a great studio; he recorded the whole gig a...

It was recorded dry down a SM57 into a portable Pro Tools rig. Then I imported it into a Logic project for mixing. There is a fair bit of bleed down the vocal and snare mics as it was all done in very close quarters, but I managed to get the tone pretty much where I wanted. There's a stereo verb bus...

I'm playing quite loud and I dig in pretty hard. I think that's a big part of this equation.

Thank you. Proud of these lads.

Yeah I don't know why but we stayed up drinking til 5am and we were into set 1 by 1pm. Felt like I was wading through treacle!
