      All the tones with my destroyer, and my Strat are through my old Marshall cabinet with a 57 and a little bit of condenser mic. When I use my Suhr signature guitar- that's the Amp into the suhr reactive load IR, using a Celestion impulse response.

      It’s one thing to be an amazing guitarist, but to have creativity is another thing. The talent you’ve(Pete) got should make me jealous, but im too busy enjoying your music!

    • @megamania501
      @megamania501 21 день тому +2

      ​@@dylanjastle Myself, my Friedman DS 40-watt has a really muddy low end. I've used a 1x12 Friedman creamback that's supposed to match up with that head, an Avatar 2x12 with 2 creambacks, with one Vintage 30 and one G12H, and an EVH 2x12 with Celestian G12H speakers (a cab that I find has a weak low end with the EVH 5150 6L6 head). I dropped the pickup lower on the low E side, and replaced the low E string for a thinner low E, from a 46 to a 42. Nothing worked. What I ended up doing was adding a Naga Viper treble boost (got the idea from Pete Thorne's vid about treble boosters, actually), and the amp absolutely screams without going into metal territory and no muddy low end, but more Gary Moore Live at Dublin face-melting saturation, which is what I was going for. I have a Friedman Little Sister that has a more manageable low end, so with the DS40 thru 2x12 the bass knob is set between 8:00-9:00, the LS20 thru 1x12 creamback, the bass knob is set between noon-1:00.

    • @rlm4471
      @rlm4471 20 днів тому

      It doesn't make much sense to compare your experience of an amp to a recorded mix of a different amp. So much depends on the recording setup and the mix.

    • @rlm4471
      @rlm4471 20 днів тому +2

      ​​@@megamania501The Dirty Shirley is based on a JTM 45, which tends to have a looser, fatter low end than a Super Lead. That fat low end makes it sound rich and sweet at lower gain settings, and it makes single notes sing beautifully at higher gain settings. It is not really the ideal amp for tight, chuggy heavy rhythm sounds, although you can probably get it there with the right pedals or mods.

    He's like a little Young'un with a new toy. This Amp is one of the 6f the Best Amps I've ever heard except for My Nephew Johnny's handmade AA Systems (Auble Amplification Systems) Built in 2000 by local Amp Guru Marc Auble. It's 110 watts Class A. It's got 7 NOS Preamp tubes and 3 old school Svetlana 6550 Poweramp tubes. Class A Amps have a lot more Harmonics compared to your standard Class AB Amps. Killer video, Killer Amp. Pete is one of the best Guitarists on the Planet Hands Down Badass!!
