Don't forget the sugar

Used these settings for a preset on the FM3 I just got and combined with the 417H IRs from Seacow and wow... sounds even better than on the QC!

That's the one I used on my RR cover tunes.

Played around with which IR out of that pack was closest (listening to Crazy Train)... I was blending 57 & 121 at first but sounded too dark and too "full" making is sounded kind of muffled. Closest I'm hearing is the 417H-57-Cap by itself. No blending with any others.

When I did the "Little Dolls" cover I used:

Left track : Prototype JB pickup > MXR Distortion+ (Output 3 o'clock, Distortion 9 o'clock) > Plexi (Presence 5, Bass 2, Middle 7, Treble 7, Volume I 6, Bright Input) Channel then bussed into EQ, Eventide H-910 Harmonizer, Sunset Sound Reverb.

EQ Curve Plot :

Right track : Prototype JB pickup > MXR Distortion+ (Output 3 o'clock, Distortion 9 o'clock) > Fortin-modded Marshall JMP > shared bus with left channel

Speaker : 1977 Altec 417-8H
Mic: SM-57

Wow - that's some crazy EQ sculpting!


PS - Track sounds killer!!! (I'm nowhere near that good lol

Yeah, Randy was running an EQ both before and after the amp.

I tried that, but couldn't make it work for my rig.

Did a clip wif the polka dot Distortion+

Rock on, good people!

 

[LCW]

Left Channel Signal Chain:
MXR Distortion+ Output: 10, Distortion: 4
MXR Ten Band Graphic EQ 31.2: -2, 62.5: 0, 125: +3, 250: +7, 500: +10, 1k: +6, 2k: +3, 4k: -2, 8k: 0, 16k: +3
Marshall Plexi
Altec 417-8H 12-inch speakers

Right Channel Signal Chain:
MXR Distortion+ Output: 10, Distortion: 4
MXR Ten Band Graphic EQ 31.2: -2, 62.5: 0, 125: +3, 250: +7, 500: +10, 1k: +6, 2k: +3, 4k: -2, 8k: 0, 16k: +3
1975-76 Marshall JMP model 1959 Super Lead MKII 100-watt head : Presence: 5, Bass: 2, Middle: 6, Treble: 7, Volume I: 6, Volume II: 0, Input I top
Altec 417-8H 12-inch speakers

Both channels bussed into AMS DMX 15-80S Digital Delay (can substitute Eventide H910)

This will do nicely for now... I don't have a Plexi or Altec 417-8Hs, but my DSL40CR w/ V30 is more than OK. I'm not looking for exact, as I'm not that die hard. But wow does the 10 band contribut a ton! More so than the Dist+ but both together are glorious!!

PS - god damn are the blue lights on the MXR 10 band bright! I'd have looked for the older black one with red lights but heard they are very noisy. Found the Distortion + for $44! For 1/10th the price of the polka-dot reissue, I'll take the yellow one lol.

Gorgeous guitar!

Gorgeous guitar!

Thank you sir! It’s friggin sweet I won’t lie lol. A gift to myself for being re-employed after most of the year.

Added another… just for fun. Probably not super accurate but I do hear some chorus on Crazy Train.

I know this post is in the ‘digital & modeling’ section but getting reacquainted with old fashioned pedals is just plain fun!

Watch my vid earlier in this thread... what you hear as "chorus" is actually an AMS DMX Digital Delay & Pitch Shifter

...and he was triple-tracking the rhythm and solo apparently.
