To Scream or Not To Scream:

Funny the last time I used my TS9 was with my Trainwreck Rocket and 1961 Strat. 2008 The name of my amp is Ruby
Only 8 Rockets were made by Ken the one in the video is a reissue. My Rocket has a quad of NOS EL84 Mullards can't buy them now

Good luck on your quest hope it works out.

Thank you!
 
Even though it's counter-intuitive in some respects, a treble booster can hit the right frequencies to bring everything together. That might be something for Robert to consider? I watched a lot of videos on it today, and sometimes a treble booster hitting a well overdriven amp sounds amazing - seems to have been standard to hit a Marshall with a treble booster in the 60s/70s.
I absolutely love a treble booster slamming a cranked Marshall... :dood:. My favorite pedal that I own is a Rangemaster (Treble Boost) built by Don Butler, aka Toneman. There is such a huge wow-factor when this pedal is on... makes me feel like a Rock God!

My two Treble Boosters:

The Catalinbread Naga Viper is a killer treble boost, too. A little more versatile than the regular Rangemaster. But I'll never part with my Rangemaster... :cheers:

Anyways, this is the much older Catalinbread video that sold me on the Naga Viper... and gotta love the tuning-your-guitar-intro into some tasty Black Sabbath riffing:

They are very nice. I've seen many videos where the Rangemaster just does the job perfectly...

I was considering the NV, but Catlinbread pedals are a bit 'playful' in their design whereas something like a Wampler just always works at every setting (different design ethos), and the latter works with my ham-fisted brain and limbs.
 
WTF? Did you finish your spelling recital?
nope -- got side tracked/////


BUY A FRIGGIN PEAVEY -- or 4 for less than 1 MARSHALL and be done with it!

blow the friggin room out-- (or) play mellow wonderfull cleans --

but you can do it all for a bargain $$$ -- USA made quality -- no tubes or worries-- if one dies throw it in the bin and buy another for 80.00 ---

GEEZ!
 
That's what Daniel is using in this video...


Gear used: -Marshall DSL40C with upgraded V30 speaker
-ESP LTD H-1001 with EMG 81 and 85 active
-Pyle Pro PDPmic58
-Behringer Tubescreamer clone
-REAPER -behringer umc202hd interface

-no eq or post processing settings: -tubescreamer gain off and level 7, tone neutral -amp settings at beginning of video except channel volume around 3.5 (full power 40 watt mode)

No ones touched upon the V30 speaker also EMGs being used... :dood:

Also the TS is being used as a clean boost only, tone neutral....

I think you mentioned having an EQ pedal.... could try it as a clean boost, EQ settings neutral or slight bump in the mids to taste..

To my ears, the key there is the V30. The boost adds some girth but that tone is textbook high-gain V30.

I agree with you!! :dood:


(maybe all ready stated in this thread)
That using the TS as he does in the video in conjunction with the V30 tightens up the low end of this speaker.
Flubbyness is sometimes associated with the V30 under certain applications.

In my experience, yes. The V30 can be tight as a drum in a sealed cab but can get loose as a wet stinker in an open-back with a lot of gain. The TS gives both a mid boost and firms up/attenuates some of the lows, so it's a perfect match.
