- Finally a combo that sounds like a complete 4x12 rig! I'm getting a tone very close to the one Kiss had on their 1977 Alive 2 Album. I'm using a 1961 Silvertone 1472 1x12 with a 1973 Celestion G12M25 75Hz Pulsonic Greenback in it with a 1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom with a 1977 Dimarzio Super distortion in the bridge. Peluso 2247LE close and room mics through API 312 preamps and UREI 1176 Compressors. Post processing: UA EMT 140 plate, UA Pultec EQ, UA EP tape echo. Post EQ cuts at 100, 350, 750, 2k and 7kHz
I have to say in a blindfold test I would not be able to identify the difference between the many amp and speaker combinations Johan uses. All very similar to large degree. What I can also say is that all of his tones are head and shoulders above today's oversaturated, overdriven, synthetic offerings. My opinion and not a statement of fact. Great channel 👍
Thanks! Glad you like the tones! Cheers
100% 🤘
I bought my Silvertone 1472 in 1987 for $5! I was 11 years old and it taught me all I needed to know about real tone! Great sounding video!
Johan THE tone seeker of our planet. Will he ever be satisfied ???
Not likely unfortunately 😂
Johan, you have discovered the exact combo/axe i used in 1977 when i was just starting out. I added an Electro-Harmonix LPB-1 inline pedal adter reading Ace's Guitar magazine interview, and believe me, without seeing what was being played, it was very hard not to imagine a wall of 100 watters blowing the roof off the auditorium. Excellent find! I still have my 1472 purchased in 1966 for me by my father. Best wishes for you and your new toy.
Thanks, interesting! Im definitely gonna try the LPB-1 with it too!
i'm really glad to have read that you still have it!
what a great sound, i wish i'd've discovered this amp 20 years ago.
That tone is simply GIGANTIC.
What a great shift from Solar eclipse to listening to your playing KISS Alive ll guitar tones. Tak Johan
howww WTF how does this tiny thing sound that huge.. beautiful sound. another video I would like to see is the marshal silver jubilee on Creambak and Greenback speakers
Amazing sound from that Silvertone. No matter it's an small amp, I believe it's great for recording, even with a mic to PA speakers.
With a Les Paul custom and Johan's great playing really sounds very very close to the vynil, this amp is really "Alive" . Thanks! 👍
Nice tone from this little amp .great playing from the king.🌹👍🙏🙏🎸🎸🙏🙏👍❤
You wanted the best, you got the best... Johan!!! 🎉
Thanks man 😉 Cheers!
You won't ever stop hunting down Ace's ultimate tone, will you Johan? 😉 Massive sound from a 1x12 for sure here. Keep on rocking!
😎 Silvertone for life!
Another stellar performance. Can we get a Suhr Badger V2 on the channel Johan? It would be a worthy addition to the Sscchaaanll
Massive! Close your eyes and you would never imagine that was a tiny combo. You were definitely having fun there Johan!
Yes sir!!! I have one. Sounds Killer! Love you're channel. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks man, glad to hear it!
Johan, it sounds amazing. Keep the passion!😁
Aloha Johan! Great sound from a chain store. I had a Montgomery Ward guitar amp which was nice. Another chain store from the past.
man! i love those silvertone amps. sounds great another great tone nailed. hats off to you johan. 👏👌
Thanks Jonny! Cheers
Wow, what a refined tone - great Job!
Thanks glad you like it!
Nice! Very Ace sounding for sure!
In my own deep nerding on the ace alive II "crispy Mack Truck" tone....the closest I came was a JMP 2204 with every knob at 6 except bass at 2, era 4x12 with blacks, mxr distortion + with volume decked and gain just below noon. LPStandard with DiMarzio Super-D. It's that sound at the beginning of 'Makin Love' on Alive II.
Yes that's a fantastic Tone well played as usual 👍
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
Underbart. Tack så mycket!! ❤
Great sound! Love it.
Thanks, glad to hear that!
I have the Silvertone of the same era with the 15" Jensen. Kicks ass
Wow, that's fantastic!
that is a great sounding combo for sure , but your playing is what actually sells it , you were hitting on all cylinders ....
Hell yeah Johan 🤘🤘🤘!!
I need to get my 1958 Danelctro Cadet 122 working! When I run a TS9 tube screamer & DOD Classic Tube FX53 in fromt of it, the amp just drips tone for days!
Sadly last time I played it, it stopped working. The tubes light up but no sound. I haven't spent any time looking it over. Its all original and even has the original 3x9 (i think that is the size) speaker in it.
But did it sound awesome when it was running!
JOHAN SEGEBORHN LEAD GEETAH! \m/
Cheers DMS! 😉
Killer combo. I hear led zep and sabbath.
Yes, I heard early Sabbath as well. From the first was album.
What a coincidence, this afternoon a friend brought me a 1482, quite the same amp but with some more watts I think (15 vs 10). it is completly original with a 12" alnico horseshoe speaker from the 60". I have to check it because it is very noisy.
Cool! This one is super quiet
Hi Johan, vintage g12m75 are getting hard to come by. What modern speaker do you recommend? Is celestion the best? I saw your videos on sanding the cone. do you recommend this or any other treatments? just wondering the best way to get a vintage sounding g12m. thanks so much! Love your channel!
You could show the Spaceman a few things Johan...
That’s very kind :-) but not true of course. Cheers
What humbuckers do you use in your other les paul?curious if you would try something different/ record it through 100w marshall or hiwatt?
Can you track down that Tweed Vibrolux again? Would love to see the EQ matching for the Alive I tone to see if that comes closer than your rig in the last Kiss video.
Absolutely it belongs to a friend of mine
Why marshall has stand by.on ?
Beautiful
👍
