Wonderful Land Live - New Gear Test.

[rogerbayliss]

Thought I would give my newly acquired gear a test run. Some have been asking for demo sounds on some of my new gear so here it is.

Played live on a G&L S500 into a Vox AC4 C1 TV Ltd. Pedals used are Carl Martin Contour and Boost, Empress ParaEQ and eTapHW2. UBHank Backing played on home cinema HiFi and recorded on a Kodak digital camera. Sound is just off the camera with no editing done.

Hello Roger,
Thanks for posting this very well played version of "Wonderful Land" This little Vox amp sounds amazing.
Cheers
Gus.

Very good sound Roger.
I was hoping you would put up a sound file. The little Vox is great with the right echo, and a little E.Q.
well played, thanks for that.
Can I ask the settings you used on the Empress and Carl Martin?

Cheers,
Alan H

Alan and Gus thank you, yes the amp sounds great and I am very pleased with it. It sounds even better with an ext speaker I had made which is not used here though.

Alan as far as I recall the Carl Martin had the high cut about 12 O Clock and the low cut around 3 O Clock. The gains were on around 3 slightly more gain on the high end. The Empress was set up to boost 2kHz around 12 Db with a wide Q and boost around 300 Hz or so about 6dB. I also boosted the empress output gain and used the -6dB pad. I worked the sound up by ear as slight tweaks here and there changed it a little including the echo settings which finished it off. It sounded better than the camera mic lets on as well.

Thanks for listening.
