The Nasty Bark of a Blackface Champ

[Dajax]

The solo on Let It Be LP Solo (third tune down) is my Fender Champ amp turned up full with a Les Paul running through a Fulldrive 2 set mainly as a clean boost

Cool. A rude 5 watter just sounds cooler than a fuzz for this sort of thing i reckon.

 

[tfunster]

Sounds absolutely killer!:AOK

I love my Silverface Champ for the same reason I love this clip. The old champs sound great at any volume (3-5 sweet clean tone, 5-7 OD heaven). And they get along better with pedals than just about any other amp out there!

Nice clips!

...Sweet tone and killer playing.

I like that a lot!!!

I'd like to know what you used for some of your other clips. All are very tasty.

 

[doublee]

Dajax,

Listened to some other songs on your site. Very nice. What rig did you do Rocky Mountain Way on?

 

[1sickpuppy]

Great tone, nice playing!

 

[baumwolle]

Sounds really good, that's some nice playing too.

 

[Jack Gilvey]

Loved it, and your other stuff too!

 

[NR2112]

Very Clean and Raunchy. I like it

 

[Dajax]

Thanks for the comments. I agree with the cheesy remark, what I think the problem is is the high hat sound I used. Rocky Mountain Way was done on a tascam 4 track rhythm guitars direct thru a Boss DS 1, slide thru a Tech 21 Sansamp (vocals thru the sansamp too for the verses.

Wow, that's a really nice fuzz! Congratulations for the find, and great song choice!

I actually prefer the solo on the 45 rpm single version that is the first song on my playlist. I used my Telecaster through a Dunlop Univibe to try to get the fast Leslie sound happening

What did you use on All along the Watchtower? I love that solo!

The clean slide part was a Les Paul, thru a Boss compressor/sustainer, into a Supro 88T amp. The rest was a Gretsch hollow body direct into the recorder thru a Tech 21 Sansamp direct box

Dajax, that is just so perfect-you could serioulsy join Paul and Ringo-of course John won't be there which is sad, but that tone of a Paul and cranked Champ is pure, sweet classic rock. What pickups are in the Paul?

What wah was used on Watchtower-that nails the vibe too!

One of the best demos on here in quite some time.

Thanks TR, the pickups are DiMarzio super distortions. That's the same guitar I used on the "Time" solo on my page, but for that I used a Fuzz Face, and a 2X12 Silvertone combo amp. The wah wah is a standard Dunlop Cry Baby.
