Is Less More?

It's 45 degrees out and raining, so I have been effing around with amps and guitars in the man cave whilst drinking beer all afternoon. And yes, I plan to continue for quite some time. Anyway, I just recorded this with the 2013 white Signature T Lester on the lead pick up volume and tone all the way up. This is the 2203 full stack as usual, but I pulled the gain down to 3 on the Hi channel and turned the volume up until I could feel it moving air. Presence and tone are all at noon and using two mics as I always do on the A cab. Oh, and there is just a hint of Soul Food to liven it up a bit.

What do you think of the tone? I'm kind of digging not running the gain on 8.

Tone is sweet - nice crunch will plenty of clarity! Nice playing too!

 

[Kerry Brown]

I like it. It’s very articulate. I bet it cleans up nice with the guitar volume as well.

 

[eSGEe]

45............is that a thing temp wise???
Horror

I will have to try that. I only have the Soul Food gain at 9 O'clock, but it is enough to give it an edge that the amp doesn't have on its own with the gain so low. I can't wait to be able to finish my 1987.

 

[Cadorman]

Looks like you can still get it at Musicians Fiend. I wonder what I would have to do to mod my own.

 

[CabanaBoy]

What ever it is it sounds good for sure...

 

[Cadorman]

You got me there. I watched a video about it years ago, I can't remember all what he does to it. I remember wanting to have it done, but it always seemed fine as is. My buddy had it for a long time too during which I acquired other Klons and forgot about it.

For the $88 it cost me new I am really happy with it.

 

[Cadorman]

Its worth it considering the cost of the originals. And its probably at least 98% of the way there. The other 2% is just dinosaur farts as @eSGEe would say...

And that imaginary giraffe.

 

[SG John]

Sounds great. Alone, it is probably as close to perfect as you could get. playing with a bass player and drums, you may want to add a bit more treble and mid, but for messing around at home it's great.

I wish I had that problem.

 

[Cadorman]

I'm probably too ornery for anyone to play with anyway.

 

[mcblink]

Yep. Sounds good.

And yeah, less is more when it comes to gain. So long as you've good technique, anyway. A lot of guys overdo the gain a tad, to cover up slop.

Where ya been sleepy?

 

[mcblink]

Where ya been sleepy?

Relapsing into video game addiction. Ain't got much else to do for a while. I did go to the jam space a few days ago to bring a guitar home, but since all my "fun" gear is in that space, I just haven't really been inspired to play at home through my little mg30...but it's coming sooner or later. I can feel it.

 

[Sp8ctre]

The Original Les More...

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

How did I not see this when it was current ??
Nice job Cadorman, love that less is more, I cover up a lot of my slop lol.
Cheers

Yes less is more.
Or so I was taught in New Orleans.
I think maybe Leo invented that concept.
