Boggs Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I let a friend of mine borrow my prototype (still the pine/plywood version) to record with and check out. He provided me with these clips of my guitar directly compared to his blueburst SC90 with M22 pickups. The patches in his Line6 were plug-and-play more or less optimized for his SC90 to see how the two compared directly. He noted that it would have been a bit difficult to get a correct tone from mine since it played so loudly unplugged that it affected more of what he heard from his monitors at the low levels of recording. Interesting... Anyway, here are the links. Definitely worth checking out. Rich apologizes for his playing especially of The National Anthem... No need, but that's just him! ;-) The first will be the SC90 and the followup will be mine playing the same thing through the same patch. I don't know what pickups were selected or where volume pots were set or anything like that. I just thought it was cool of him to spend an evening doing this for me. The proto comes apart Saturday morning... It's gonna be real hard doing it. :-( I'll have to get a neck and electronics for her to revive her someday. She ain't real purdy, but she'll blow your mind! http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric...C90-Clean05.mp3 http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric...son/Clean05.mp3 http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric...90-Roland01.mp3 http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric...on/Roland01.mp3 http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric...-VoxMatch02.mp3 http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric.../VoxMatch02.mp3 http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric...-bomb-iac01.mp3 http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric.../Bomb-iac01.mp3 ...He did a single clip of just the bridge coil to show that Tele Twang capability. Picture playing some Surf with this selection just tweaked a bit. Quite a range, eh?! http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Ric...son/Clean06.mp3 Boggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Interesting stuff! A bit boomier in the mids than the Carvin. A bit of tweaking to suit the axe (although it already sounds good!) and the clean tone's going to be stonkin'. Distorted tone is already good... almost indistiguishable from the Carvin in places.

Boggs Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Thanks for taking the time to check it out, GregP (and others as well... 75 hits!). I find it interesting that quite literally junk woods can work as well as they do. I guess the body wood is the least in the tone equation. I have long felt that the neck and headstock have far more to do with tone than the body wood does. It is a very long moment arm from the nut to the neck joint that the strings work on...
