I'm starting to think that my Traynor may be a lemon.

  • "Untitled" by HHV (cause I have no lyrics yet)

    Original song, mellow but cool. I can see it being boring since there are no lyrics.

    The sound is:
    SG Special - Neck pickup with volume at 10 and tone at about 6
    to
    Traynor YCV40WR - Clean: Treble 7, Bass 4, Mids 5, Volume 1...Overdrive: Volume 1, Gain 4.5, Treble 6, Bass 7, Mids 6 (these are not my usual settings but just for this song)

    The actuall recording came out better than usual but its still shit...I fucked up in the middle hitting the wrong chords (hit a G bar chord instead of a G# bar chord) and the ending 30 seconds, i fucked up somewhere there, you'll notice it

    You will get a sense of how the clean channel is with the amp for a bluesy sound...and you will hear how you can get a nice warm bluesy low gain sound

    Sending to Dirty now...

    Ok, here's HHV's song:

    http://hc.bloodyvelvet.com/files/5/untitled.mp3

    And here's one that I did just in the last couple minutes. I like to call it "Lenny from across the room".

    Settings are clean: Volume 6, Treble 7, Bass 4, Middle 5, Reverb broken. There's a DD-3 in front of the amp, and that's it. The guitar is a Fender Standard Strat in the 2nd position.

  • you using your whammy bar on some of that right?

    sounds good

    i love the sound of a clean strat

    and a DD-3 is a great thing...simple and gets the job done, i love mine...thats a nice clean sound...funny thing too is that you hear somethings recorded that sound great, and its nowhere as good as it is sitting next to the amp hearing it...thats how it is with me, ill send my friends somethings and they are like...ah yeah decent sound...when I jam they are just like HOLY FUCK what was that like 2000$? ha

    I don't have the whammy bar, so I just grab the bridge and give it a pull. :) And yeah, the clip sounds nothing like what it sounds like sitting right here next to it. The computer mic kills the frequency range, and then to make it worse, the conversion to .mp3 (for size reasons) kills it even more. That clip I posted sounds 10x worse than it's original source file, which sounded like crap to begin with. You gotta be there to hear it.

    I just use my built in mic on my laptop. If you ever want to get into recording, do not do it this way. It sounds bad. :(

    It works alright for basic clips like this though. Even if I just had a Tascam and a half decent mic lying around, the clips would be a lot better.
  • yo dirty can i send you a few more clips...i have a hendrixy 60 sec clip i made up...its the neck pickup on the strat with gain of 8 on the amp and gain of about noon on the ocd

    then ill do one with just random things on my sg with my "real" sound

    Sure. Send away.
  • the ones im sending dirty now kind of suck in a way, lol

    the first one (hendrixy)

    2003 Fender Mexican Fat Strat
    Neck Pickup
    Gain 8 on the amp
    Gain 5 (noon) on the ocd

    the 2nd one
    2001 Gibson SG Special
    Bridge Pickup
    Gain 7 on amp
    Gain 7 (2 oclock) on OCD

    settings for the OD on the amp:
    Volume 1, Gain 7-8, Treb 6.5, Bass 7, Mids 6, Reverb 3, Presence 4.5


    By the way, anyone know of something to help me with this problem?

    I rarely solo (when I do I own :), honestly) and its because that I can't play in key very well, and I'm sort of embarrassed to solo sometimes when I'm with friends because I know they will say "you hit a few wrong notes or mostly wrong notes"...and i know that
