Mazerati GT - Slide

Well I really intended to record the SRZ-65 tonight, but on a whim I plugged in to the Mazerati GT, dialed it back a bit from my usual settings and BINGO! There was what I was looking for to play slide with. So since the mics were already on that cab, I turned on the recorder and this is the result. Backing track stolen from here as usual...

PRS (bridge humbucker) > Mazerati GT > Airbrake (Bedroom full) > 1x12 Convertible (closed back, V30)

Volume at 9 o'clock
Tone at noon

Reverb and slight compression added in Pro Tools

Wicked tone Steve. Very nice display of the amps qualities. There is definitely a threshold at that 9:00 position on the volume control.

Thanks guys. Yeah, 9 o'clock seems to be the breakover point for this amp for sure.
