Got the drivers I needed to get my Mustang recording going. (ended up just needing ASIO, then setting CEP2 to see it). Anyhoo, Here are a couple of Bassman clips. This is recorded going direct from the amp to computer via usb (so missing that punch I get from the cab).
This first one is straight..no effects, pedals, or anything.
And this one I simply added the overdrive pedal and kicked back to position 1 bridge single coil pup for the lead.
And here's a little Local H for ya
Not bad tones for a cheapie grab and go amp. Sounds a bit like my Gallien Kruegar Micro Lead ML250, which I use in the bedroom through headphones if the wifey is watching TV which is in the other room close by. It ain't tubee but it sounds OK to me.
A little Jet with the low gain Marshall and just a touch of chorus.
Sounds about right DBM. But remember...these are recorded direct via usb. The thing sounds much better in front of the cab.
Johnny — Mar 30, 2014Sounds about right DBM. But remember...these are recorded direct via usb. The thing sounds much better in front of the cab.
And of course the tones sound truer if you put a SM57 in front of the speaker and record it that way. But your clean tones sound almost exactly like my GK Micro Lead through headphones. Those tones are not at all bad, I have had the Micro Lead since the late 1980's, if it was a bad sounding amp it would have been gone long long ago.........
I liked the first 3 Johnny, but the 4th wasn't quite there, just my opinion tho. Sounds like a cool little amp. Glad you got your drivers sorted out.
I liked the local H clip- never knew what that band was called. There seems to be quite a bit of 60-cycle hum in those clips-- are you using a single coil, sitting under fluorescent lights, something like that?
Good job Johnny. Definitely some potential there for direct recording.
With ya Recto...a bit muddy on that Jet one. I'll come back with a revised one. Think I was tone deaf at that point of the evening :)
Charger....that buzz is actually from my guitar. Needs a ground or something re-done inside. Started doing that about a month ago. Since Bass is all I'm doing live right now, it's been on the backburner to get fixed.
I did discover tonight one particular knob in the deeper editing mode of Fuze....the 'Bias' knob. Until I look it up...not sure exactly what it does from a technical standpoint ( I know bias usually pertains to tubes). But what I CAN tell you, is when you dial it to the 'sweet spot' of whatever amp you are on, it really makes a difference in the richness of the tone. It varies from amp model to amp model, as I have slowly discovered over 3 hours tonight.
That said, I will re-post clips as I get the 'bias' on those particular amp models tweaked out. As stated earlier, the Supersonic model is just killer. Worked on it at loud volume tonight to get an all around 'go to' tone for power punk (Blink 182, Sum 41, early Green Day, etc.). Actually Landed a tone very, very close to Sum 41's 'In Too Deep' with the Supersonic tonight. Rich, saturated, and chunky. Will post clips in the next day or two.
