Man, this sounds great, as usual. Do you know what mods he made? You mention the presence and resonance knobs, are there others? I’ve been obsessing over Laney circuits and was thinking about getting a Ceriatone Supergroup clone to tinker with.

Pretty darn smooth sounding for a SM57. Maybe that was the first 30 seconds. Overall great levels.
Sounds good! Nice playthrough \M/
@@cmd_f5 much appreciated and thank you for watching!
Laney was good enough for Lord Iommi so it should be enough for all of us
Well, tbf, this ain't just any old Laney. It appears to have been modded by Blackhawk Amps. \m/
@@sean.eidemiller valid points on both sides!
perfect mods
@@JPTRFX I agree!

@ It sounds nuts. Instead of doing my job, I’ve been looking at schematics…
@jdizzlies there's a rabbit hole I'm trying to avoid personally lol!
