Clip from my moded 5E3

[mcinku]

Just in case somebody is interested...

OK this is my Ceriatone 5E3 which is moded to take 6L6,GZ34 tubes, and I also added Bruces Vol/Tone Mod.
I recorded this with my home-made 1x12" Greenback cab and a Shure SM57 mic.
This was recorded without any pedals, only my guitar straight into the amp.
I did use a little VST reverb for the mixdown and I also added bass and some drums for a better feel.

Rhythm track is my CS Tele (neck pickup) - "MIC - Normal" channel Vol3, Tone9
Lead track is again my CS Tele (bridge pickup) - "MIC - Normal" channel Vol5, Tone9

As you can hear the Tweed character is still there, the famous dynamic response with nice brakeup...
Well the clip is very much self explanatory I think.

PS: Please focus on the sound and not playing.

hallo. sounds nice. I have heard many soundsamples from "professional" amp-makers, which didn`t sound as good as yours.

did you build the amp by yourself?

i'm waiting on my TAD (germany) princeton 1x12 kit to come. we'll see, maybe i'll post a soundfile, when i have finished it...

oh, and i love telecasters...

Thanks for a compliment

No I didn't build it, I bought a finished one from Ceriatone. I did install the tone/vol mod.
Ahh princeton is a fine amp. I almost bought one myself but then I decided I want a Champ. (5W is more than enough for home use ).

[oahu]

ah, yes...

where do you live? anyway, i didn't hear anything from ceriatone before... do they sell kits too? (i live in vienna, austria, and if they are in the USA, it's + 30% customs + ups, you know...). but the TAD kits are pretty well, i guess... i'm gonna change the caps, and i will use NOS tubes in the pre-amp... have you ever tryed 5751 RCA's? they're really great, and mullard ecc83's too... but they're not cheap, even on ebay...

and 4 the soundfile... well, i'm working as a sound-engeneer in a musical-theatre... i know, what i'm talking of... (sorry for my bad english...) really, it's not easy, to nail down the sound of an amp... (see u-tube, matchless, carr, bad cat, swart amps, whatever...) I think, it's not really possible to get the sound of an amp out of a computer-speaker/mp3, and so on, but you got really close...

we are neighbours, I live in Slovenia. Yes Ceriatone does sell kits... and they do it so cheap, even with VAT and customs fee. Here in SLO we pay 25%...and it's still cheaper than TAD kits I believe.
I use JJ and EH tubes for now. I just bought a Tung-Sol 12AX7, to see if it's any better. I'm happy with those, to me it doesn't make any sense to spent a lot of money on tubes. I'm quite happy with the sound that I have, so whay fix something if it ain't broken.
Thanks again for the compliment, my recording gear is not state of the art but I have some experience and I try my best to make it work for me.
BTW this is my web page, you can hear my music there and see my fiddles.



PS: Your english is just fine. Mine is not that much better.

hallo. that's funny. thought you're from the states... i was born in graz, and lived there a long time, and for that, i was pretty often in maribor and ptuj. where you are from? anyway, nice homepage... and thanks for the ceriatone link. could be interesting to build one of those too... greetings from vienna.

I'm from Skofja Loka (central part of Slovenia).
Just in case you decide to go with Ceriatone, I can say I bought three amps from them and I have nothing but good experience with them. Just wanted to say that, 'cause some people are a little sceptical when ordering stuff from some people living in Asia.



Hey, BTW if you missed my Champ thread, this is how my champ sounds like BF_Champ
I used the same guitar, speaker and I used the same backing track. Really easy to compare the character of both amps.
