Hmm, sounds like I may want to try this one at some point!!! Very nice man...Can you do a video A/B'ing that and teh Mamba?? And Angel if you have one? haha

EDIT: Just got to that part of the video!!! hahah Thanks man

The original clip was an Angel...I was going to throw it in there, but the whole process became time consuming. VideoPad is a new program I just bought and it completely sucks- simple things like titles/subtitles are tough to put in, then they don't move when you edit the video. It finally looked great but now I see the end result and the fonts mysteriously switched to size 10 :x

I'll need to buy Pinnacle or Audition
Angel has much better clarity, but less sizzle- great for a skilled player. SlopShredders like me might enjoy the S1SO more, the gain is sick. I didn't really display in the video, but the pinch harmonics on the low strings are HUGE.

I may wait a few more days, but right now my love for S1S0 is so grand I'm tempted to do a module selloff :shock:

sounds great. i'm thinking about getting this module some time. i was actually about to get a Peavey 5150 Combo off of craigslist a few months before i got my RM80. Glad i waited. If you do decide to get rid of some modules...would you possibly be interested in a JF Recto?

 

[Stillgar]

Very cool clips, thanks.

FYI
Sound level:Moderate 80dbls
6L6s

LOL, All that time I spent and the guitar is out of tune
I've been working on this tune for >2years, these tracks were made for a drum guide. I'll try to replay them after I get some beats

These modules are freshly made- not burned in yet. The Salvo Orange I had became so much better over time. I had a Mamba once before and this new one does seem brighter; over time I expect it'll warm up and become more complex and organic 8)


JKMV12: JF makes great mods, but I already have Gigmods Recto. Does your JF have Red/Orange switch by any chance?

 

[chuckmehh]

I'm definitely diggin that man...Is that straight/no boost? Do you have an OD you could record with it? I'm a super gain ***** and love the extra kick an OD gives amps. Nice little clean boost ya know?

Yes it does. It also has a 3 way tight switch and a custom faceplate done by sacredgroove. I'm still not 100% sure if i want to get rid of it b/c it is an incredible module...but if you are interested on making a deal and depending on what you have to offer...i might let it go. I am looking to experiment with some new tones.

Yes, I usually kick in a ZWod with the gain set to zero (or near it)
But as I set up I thought I'd let the module sound pure, no extra eq, verb, od. I think the Fire switch sort of simulates a pedal boost

I'll probably record something on soundclick soon, with both a MW1boost & a ZW boost & Fire 8)

nice demo, Ray. really gave a feel for the tonal options available

Thanks, Ray! I've been considering an S1SO and your video helped to push me a little closer to puling the trigger. It sounds like it would be great for modern rock bed tracks.

The Mamba is the BOMB but it was a little brighter than I'd prefer. I've had great luck (with a Les Paul with a Burstbucker Pro, so it may vary) with the Mamba's knobs all set to 5 (or 12 O'clock). It's an amazing sounding module and I'm sure you'll get it dialed in quickly.

As for a video editing program on a PC, I'd recommend Sony Movie Studio Platinum 9 or higher. It's about $75 or so on Amazon and it has a ton of features as well as being easy to use.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

^ Thanks for the Video tip, I'll check it out
My last Mamba was a lot warmer, we'll see how this develops as it burns in.
My SG also has the Burstbucker pickups

 

[crankyrayhanky]

Hmmm, I just hooked up my LP with 490/498 and the Mamba became much better than with my BurstBucker SG. The LP is a much warmer axe and matches the Mamba really well

Like alot of the modules Ive heard,it seems to capture the essence of teh tone but much cleaner....sounds like a 5150 without all of that fuzz generally associated with them....I wish someone would post a good recording of a Kranken or a Stein so I would know weather or not to get one so I could sell my K-stein Plus head...The clips I heard on the Salvation site were not that impressive...

I'm getting there...The Stein is sweet, I can say that...And yes, I know, my comments are useless without clips...
