Hey guys! Here's something new!!
La Mu?eca
I asked Anthony for a Tweed-based module, with lots of tweakability, and this is the outcome!
The Features
It has four 3-position switches:
- Dark/normal/bright
- British/crystal/warm
- Mid shift: Tweed/hollow/fat
- Thick/scoop/thicker
The last two are EQ voicing switches.
EQ-defeat
Another "hidden" feature is in the mid knob.
If you turn this all the way up, the whole EQ (tonestack) is removed from the circuit.
This makes for a great raw tone that you can choose to sculpt later on (with an external EQ, or even in your DAW when recording!)
As a byproduct the last two switches then have no effect (since they are in the EQ-circuitry) and there is a volume boost (because the passive EQ always takes away from the signal.
The Tone
Of course, there is an awesome Tweed base tone in there, it has precisely the details I like: the growl without the snirpy high end of marshally module, round bass and light compression so you can really use all those pickup switches.
Then there's the tweakability of this.
As some of you know, I'm crazy for switches, I believe I drive Anthony nuts sometimes with requests/idea's (if so, sorry! )
So Anthony went all out as you can see, and every switch mode is really useful in sculpting the tone.
Sounds I've discovered range from a beautiful full clean (close to a Deluxe) to really snarly crunch (like a plexi, but without the high screech and way more body!).
The overall character is very full, even in scooped modes it still has a nice body to it.
The name/design
I asked for a custom faceplate with Spanish names.
This is for personal reasons. Mu?eca means "doll" in Spanish, it is the name of my girlfriend's ferret.
A great little gnarly, growly animal, but not really threatening or aggressive .. so just like a good tweed tone! (oh and a little fat too! :lol: )
Anthony is planning on releasing this as a "standard" modification under a different name, stay tuned!
I'm planning to do some clips soon, what do you want to hear (first), a song or a feature walkthrough?
