Hi folks,

A few short Triwatt clips demonstrating the high gain potential.

Please pardon the atrocious playing! :)

The were recorded with my Zoom H4 using the on-board mics, with my SG Standard (with JS Moore pickups) straight into the Triwatt. Tone stack was at noon across the board. Master was at 9:00 for all clips. Link input with channel volumes well up there. The high gain clips have the OD engaged at about 3:00. It's feeding back a little, but that guitar goes microphonic very easily and the bridge pickup is very hot.

BTW, this was done using my Triwatt cab loaded with BBQ Fane clones. The recorder was sitting on a box about 2 feet from the cab, slightly off-axis.

I don't know how these are gonna sound - sounds OK on my computer speakers.

First up, just an example of how much you can do with the guitar's volume knob & pick attack. Starts off wide open, then I roll off the volume & control the drive with the pick. I also switch to the middle position during the pause.

Now for you Wolfmother fans...first, without the OD...

And with the OD engaged...

Here's just some heavy chugging...

And finally a riff from one of my pal's originals...

It always amazes me how different stuff sounds when recorded.

Sound's good, Emohawk.

I really like that original riff of the last clip.

Trying to achieve that live sound in a recording is indeed a challenge. That's why those recording engineers get the mid-level bucks! :P

Thanks. I thought the clips came out OK considering what I had to work with.

That riff (and the attached tune) is one of my favorites from their indie CD.

AC/DC mode here. Link input, channel vols at 9:00, OD engaged at noon, TMB at noon, pres at 3:00, master dimed (i.e. Brent's "Starving the first gain stage" trick). My SG standard again.

Didn't I ask you about them when I first posted them? I was looking for feedback about the recordings & you did provide some as I recall! :)

BTW - I saw a post from you in the Clippage section & was hoping for Tramp clips. Tease!!! :D

Yeah - Stephen has asked me to track the originals down for him...his copies were lost with the outage we had a while back.

I think I found that original file that I cut these clips from, but I haven't had time to re-create them. I've had no luck tracking down these separate files.

With that said, my playing is pretty horrific on these! Considering how little time I've had to play in the 3 years since I can't imagine I've improved THAT much, but I don't sound this bad...I don't think. ;) The Triwatt can be pretty unforgiving of poor technique too...
