Here's an audio clip of my recent TC-15 combo build:
http://www.trinityamps.com/clips/TC15/whatchldisthis_dtonjes.mp3The Amp's master Volume is cranked and the Cut control is @ 12:00 for both guitar tracks. The Crunch/Munch switch is set to the 8K OT winding. (Are we calling this Crunch, or Munch?)
The rhythm track was recorded with a Fender Strat, neck pickup, plugged into the LO input of Channel 1 (the EF86 side). Ch. Volume is @ 9:00, Contour switch is in position 4 (about 1:00). I muted the lead track and mixed the rhythm track up a bit during the first verse to illustrate the clean sound of the TC-15. Note how the amp transitions nicely from "jazzy" clean to "crunchy" as the picking hand becomes more aggressive during the chorus.
The lead track (starts on second verse) uses a PRS Santana III (a Les Paul type guitar with humbuckers), neck pickup, plugged into the HI input of Channel 1. I don't seem to be able to get past the EF86 channel on this amp! Ch. Volume is cranked this time, Contour switch is in position 3 (11:00). I appreciate how this amp "sings" when turned up and has nice sustain without getting "mushy" sounding.
This is the setup I used:
Guitar ->
TC-15 ->
Behringer GI100 DI Box/Speaker Simulator with an 8 ohm "dummy load" attached (I don't have a cab/speaker yet
) ->
PC running Guitar Tracks Pro software.
As always, your questions and comments are appreciated.
I can't thank the folks at Trinity enough for this amp. Thanks again!
