Video - Les Paul Clean into '65 Super Reverb (NOT RI)

[eric-d]

My sad attempt at a "Jazz-esque" feel. This is Ian Moore's "Beautiful Light" from the Green Grass album.

Eric, you play wonderfully and post awesome clips...but that was not one of them. I realize it's a Les Paul but the SRs I've played have more headroom than that. Very fuzzy and broken up sounding.

Maybe my speakers are busted...

Hmmm.... I never thought the SR's speakers sounded "busted" .... I admit - this amp does not have a lot of headroom - usually gets a nice breakup around 4-5 on the volume. But on this video - the volume was just under "2" .... I am doing these videos with an old Sony Cybershot 3.2 Mp digicam... And the condenser mic SUCKS! That I do know. I didn't think it sounded "fuzzy" - slight break up - yes - but I think fuzzy is a bit of a stretch. All in all - I appreciate the comments... And trust me - you are not offending me in any way. I'm my own worst critic!

 

[Phil M]

I meant my computer speakers, not the ones on the amp. Maybe it's the mic on your camera though...

I have heard other clips by you, including ones with a Les Paul so I don't know what's up here. Based on your other clips, I'd say we're into a lot of the same stuff (just traded for a gold Deja Vibe based on some older clips I've heard of your pedal) but the tones in this one just didn't hit me for some reason.

anyone else have a comment? Thanks.....

Nothing sounds buster to me...
I dig the clip. Nice warm clean sound, IMO.
I dunno, maybe I just like the sound of busted speakers? lol
Awsom clip, E!

Same here, no distortion. Sounded very nice.

i want a super reverb for my LP

I listened again with good headphones instead of the speakers. I still think the condensor mic didn't do the tone justice, but it definitely sounded better and cleaner.

That's good to know that it just might be the poopy condenser mic.
