Still Got The Blues Outro-Solo / Soldano Overdrive

For practicing challenging solos in my band I am used to record me. Initially I have used the Treadplate Model for that song.

 

Have checked the Soldano just now with headphones and my HD500 - not with the DT50/212 at gig volume level - and I think this is a great new amp and very versatile. It cleans up better with the guitar volume knob than the Treadplate model and therefore for this song probably a good alternativ.

 

I recorded it directly with the HD500, an audiointerface with the JTV59 (using the magnetic PUs). I am using the Full amp Model of the Soldano Overdrive.

 

For the second part there is a very noticeable PU-Knob switch where the guitar sound somehow opens a completely new room which I am always fascinated how he did it. To work that out, I switch from pos. 3 to pos. 1 on the JTV59 AND I am pushing some amp parameters and effect parameters with the EXP-1:

 

- amp Drive

- amp treble

- amp presence

- screamer drive

- mix delay

- mix reverb

 

The vibrato and bending in that song is a real challenge: any slightly inaccuracy turns immediatelly into bad intonation. I play it approx. 85% close to the original take:

In case of interest, there is the Lead preset  (Full amp model; checked with headphones only):

    Only one bum note dude but still sounded excellent. I have a little longer delay on my sound but each to their own. The tone is very good and pretty much what I am expecting from my live rig from now on. Line 6 have really delivered on this one I think. Thanks for sharing this.

    Sounded like it took a bit for you to get into it, but DANG did that sound good. Astounding playing.

    Well, that's two nights gigging with the new Soldano using all three Pre models and frickin hell, what a good sound I have through my DT50 head and 4X12. Didn't take much dialing in really.

     

    The secret weapon is using an MXR Distortion 3 before the Soldano crunch Pre model and an MXR 10 band EQ in the PodHD500's loop for solos (post pre amp), that is my sound. (no cab models). Plain and simple, just works. Gigs are going to be so much better and only waited 39 years for this.

          ... Now I have checked the frets with my luthier and he confirms that the fret height of 1.4mm is the root cause for some sharp notes. .....

          At the moment the luthier is going to make a fret dressing on my JTV59 down to a 1.1mm height. Once that is done, I will take another record.......

          I found the same thing with my JTV-59 - intonation problems due to extreme fret height. I am currently having my frets replaced - not dressed down. My luthier recommended replacement because he felt that the extent of dressing-down required would compromise performance of the frets (the fret tops could not be crowned properly). I should get it back mid-next week; can't wait to feel/hear the difference.
