I was under the impression that the original Boogie Super/Mark I had 6 knobs on the front panel - Vol 1, Vol 2, Treb, Mid, Bass, Master, presence and reverb (if it had it) were on the rear panel. I used to gig with a friend's '77 Mark I with reverb which only had those 6 up front, but in this...

From a cover I'm doing of Donald Fagen's arrangement of "Ruby Baby" from his Nightfly album. I'm using and Epi Dot with DiMarzio 36ths straight into my Mini Rec with the matching V30 mini cab, no pedals. Amp is on "modern" with a moderate amount of gain (I think gain was around 9 o'clock...

From my home studio, a tribute to Mr. 335 using my Epi Dot fitted with DiMarzio 36ths and my Mini Rec. My own arrangement and backing track. https://soundcloud.com/kiwijoe-1/last-nite

A while back I posted about my successful use of a 12ay7 in V2 which tamed (took some edge off) the gain on the OD channel with little or no effect on the green/clean channel. The low gain/high volume configuration works really well for me and the style of music that I play in our trio - I run...

I've been dabbling in chord soloing lately, and this just kind of morphed on its own. It's my own arrangement. Hope you enjoy. http://soundcloud.com/kiwijoe-1/welcome-back-kotter-tv-theme-cover Geek stuff: Epi Dot, neck pup > Mesa Mini Rec and V30 cab > Boss CE-5 chorus, a touch of reverb...

I'm not a high gain player; rarely push the gain on the red channel past 10 o'clock (but I do like to push the power section and run the master up between 1-3 o'clock). So, I was thinking of putting something like a 12au7 or a 12at7 in V1 to soften the preamp up a bit, so that the gain would be...

Covering the Steely Dan classic. Guitar parts with the Mini Rec on 10W, "modern", gain @ 10 o'clock, master about the same, everything else around noon except for mids @ 3 o"clock, Fromel Shape used for a bit of treble boost for the rhythm guitar, mid boost for the leads. Guitar is an Epi Dot...

My take on Allen Toussaint's classic tune about Karma. It's been covered by such notable artists as Little Feat on their Dixie Chicken album and by Gov't Mule from the live Deepest End. http://soundcloud.com/kiwijoe-1/on-your-way-down All vocals and instruments by me. I'm still amazed at Mini...

**REMIXED** - The rhythm piano was a bit low, so I bumped it up and made some other minor adjustments in panning and levels.** All instruments, midi drum programming, and vocals by me. I played the electric piano and organ parts using the on-screen keyboard in the Garage Band app on my iPad...

The classic Booker T. and the MGs entree served with a tasty contemporary side dish. Epi Dot, Mesa Mini Rec through 1x12 V30, blah, blah, blah. Oh, and the Earthquaker Devices Organizer. http://soundcloud.com/kiwijoe-1/green-onions-eggs-and-ham

It's Little Feat, who blended rock with many different styles. This classic, written by the group's founder, the late Lowell George, is a bit country. The Mini Rec did well. This is my cover of "Willin'", a tribute to Lowell, one of my biggest inspirations and influences. This is my first...

The varying textures and levels of gain available in each of the 4 modes has made my OD pedals (all two of them) redundant. I tried to find a way to use them, but when it's all said and done, nothing compares to what the Mini can deliver all on its own. It's really independent and self reliant...

Something a bit darker and "fusion-ish" that I put together using a backing track entitled "Not Another Vamp" which was written, produced, and recorded by Allan Whaite. The versatility of the Mini Rec continues to amaze me. I'm convinced that there's nothing I can't do with this amp...

As part of my continuing quest to shatter stereotypes and show the world that the Mini Rec is an incredibly versatile amp capable of so much more than hi-gain or metal tones, I thought I'd throw in my take on Herbie Hancock's classic funk-jazz tune, "Watermelon Man" (plus a bonus cheesy 80s pop...

**DISCLAIMER: Let me just get it out of the way that I am NOT a self-professed blues player, per se. I play a fairly eclectic blend of classic rock, funk/R&B, some lighter jazz/fusion with the locally obscure and infinitely infamous Bay of Plenty power trio I'm in now, and while we mix some...

Hey all, this is our first go ever at Thelonius Monk's "Straight, No Chaser" during rehearsal today. We changed it up a bit, rhythmically, into sort of a funky tango zydeco shuffle suitable for a power trio. Live ambient recording. I'm using the Epi Dot, neck pup, volume @ 6-7, tone @ 10. Mesa...

Lately I've found that I really like my Mini Rec on the "clean" setting with master dimed and the gain at maybe 4 o'clock; IOW, not quite dimed. The other day - it was hot that day - at rehearsal I noticed the amp had developed a loud buzzing sound with very little guitar sound coming through. I...

The Crusaders with Larry Carlton in a hideous leisure suit, playing his 335 through a Mark I. Some funk from Montreux, 1976. Boogie goodness is there throughout, but the magic starts at about 5:20. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnLnWsgq798

Hi all. Mini Rec, 1X12 set-up. I'm all amp, no OD or distortion pedal, and I don't use a lot of gain. I don't want to boost the gain, but I use a GE-7 to get a bit more mids in pushed or vintage. It would seem that putting it in the loop would be the better choice rather than out front...
