Dry ham?? Errr Drumjam!

Lol the autocorrect was funny. Anyway… Here’s some drums if anyone wants to do sumthin over the holidaze. Kinda metall’y but I kept it kinda reigned in.

166bpm in case you want to chop up the beats to fit what you want.

I made this up in 10 minutes. Start to finish. It’s really lame. I had to go to work and I just put actives back in the Strat and I really wanted to see how they came across on recordings. This guitars has gone try so many pickups. It’s “that one” for me. None are bad. Well actually some are. And awhile ago prolly my fave was the Duncan blackout. It’s sounds really good but it’s just a tad smoother than I’d like. But it does well…

Here’s my first take. I’ll like try and do something a little cooler.

Duncan blackout into Evh 5153 Creamback 65/Eminence cv75 dual mic’d.

Sweet. I'll do something with my chug preamp once it finally arrives

I like how it kind of gives a half time feel at around the 25 second mark. Chef's kiss.

Lol. I have seen that thread. I admit I’m too lazy and skipped prolly the whole 2nd page and just skipped to the end. And I have garnered from that skipping.. that you don’t have your pedal still and sumthin to do with fed ex and I’m genuinely confused. But again, I skipped over the meat and potatoes o f the thread. lol but it sounds like a plan to use that pedal when it does arrive!!!

Short answer: FedEx sucks

ill try and get something together, im so awful at writing over drums but theres gotta be a riff somewhere in my riff bank i can put over, the drums sound so much different than mine that i want to give it a shot

Welp. ill keep it rollin.. Lol.. But I only need a small reason to record stuff.. And yesterday I replaced a broken Bass control pot on my old 5150 combo.. And thru much trial and error, cause while I managed to fix it and take a part the dread folded boards in the combo(it wasn't THAT bad, but did have to basically pull apart the whole inside to get everything out)the control wasn't working until the very end of the sweep. It juuust starts coming in around 8 o the dial.. Ad really 8.5 to 10 is where it really has an effect.. So its a very small window of adjustment.. The old combo, anything before 6 was too light in the bass.. I realized this pot was audio taper and thought shit the OG musta been Linear.. Would seem to make sense for an EQ control. But I checked the schematic again and it is indeed audio taper.. And these are unusual pots.. They are called Peavey "Spider pots" because of their long legs.So its not like there are many other options.. This is basically the only POT Ive found out there.. Different than the pots used on the 120 watt head..

SO I took out my multimeter and the original was indeed Audio, but at 50% of the sweep it read 280k ohm. Out of 1 meg(1000) Actually the original only read 830k.. like a 17% tolerance!! Anyway, on the new pot which actually does read 1meg, at 50% sweep pot its only at 50k! So so 50 out of a 1000.. And at 3/4 turn its at 290k. So 7.5 is the old 5 on the amp marking.. But I still felt it may be different cause all the EQs are tied together in certain ways.. So whenever little things change, it makes ya wonder if its still working correct

Anyway I shoulda posted its own thread.. Lol.. But THAT was my reason to record another track with the Combo.. And I know this amps tone.. It sounds correct.. Maybe with the correct value reading and not that low valued 1 meg pot, its even a little clearer?? Whatever the case, the taper on that pot is EXTREMELY slow. Especially for such a large value like 1 meg. Maybe its a bad pot, but as long as It sounds right, Ill prolly leave it.. Its to like I even play this amp a lot.. But it is my old amp that is literally going on 30 years.. So its the one I want to keep around simply for how long I've had it

Used my Strat with Duncan blackout straight in. https://app.box.com/s/54urvpslsw88o2ed2dhkdc7dmu2y54c9

Not getting traction?? Oh well. I’ll just turn it into another experiment clip thread of mine. So I’m slightly in the mood to create as much parity between my 5150s just to have as consistent tone for live shows as possible. I’ve literally brought EVERY one of my amps to a show. And we play fairly often. More often than any other band I’ve been in. Obviously we all sorta dial shit in similar anyway, but now that I have my cabs firmly sorted (I also have brought every cab I own to shows) I think it’s time to just have everything sorta dialed in rather than continuing to just see what happens. No matter what way I slice it, my tone does Dominate the rhythm mix between us and guitarists, which is preferable since I’m a better, more aggressive player. Just how it is. His solos do cut thru well tho. Funny how that works. Gets dominated on rhythms but his lead tone sits more on top than mine does… I get it’s cause it’s so different, but for it to be dominated on rhythms sorta doesn’t make sense, besides maybe it really is in how I play them with more aggression and punch.

Anyway, this is the 6505. Same mic, guitar and speaker setup, i boost with an EQ pedal these days. Just sounds better. The head does seem to cut thru better. Even tho it has MORE bass on hand, the combo actually had a slightly big, and looser, bass response but the 6505 head sounds a bit bigger in the mix still. Not all that surprising a result.

Just got back from the mountains yesterday, but maybe I can get something laid down for this.

I like your latest 6505 clip the best!
