Deluxe 65 re-issue dirty

  • Thanks for the profiles!

    What does "captor" in the tags mean? Two Notes Torpedo captor maybe?

    I really like the cab section of the profiles, so it would be nice to know how you did them?

    Sounds really big despite the small Jensen speaker in the tag.

    Hey Ibot39 , Yes this was captured without a cabinet in fact. I ended up going straight into the Two Notes Torpedoes Captor 8 right into the Kemper, but I did use their speaker simulator set to 'gtr'.


    The other interesting thing about this profile is I used a 'bucking transformer' I got one of those Vintage Workbench 'Tone Preserver' boxes. What it does is it allows you to reduce the line voltage to the amp. In this case I ran it at about 109 volts, based on the led meter. This is important because older tube amps weren't really meant to run at full 120 volts ( like we have in North America ). The tubes and circuit run closer to their intended spec. It ended up sounding a little sweeter as a result. What I noticed is, you run the amp at full 120 v, it gets more bold, but it gets a bit harsher sounding too. The plan was to get a sweet overdrive sound.


    So this is a Deluxe re-issue run at 109 volts with a Captor load box right into Kemper with no speaker. ( I didn't really want to admit that in case some people might get put off by not having mic's in front before trying it out ) ;)


    cheers,

    So the cab is basically an analog simulation of the Marshall Slash Signature 4×12″ with Celestion V30 speaker with a SM57 then (="gtr" setting=based on Two Notes Brit VintC 4x12).


    Sounds really big despite the small Jensen speaker in the tag.

    Being a Marshall 4x12 not a 10" Jensen totally explains why it sounds that big ?

  • Thanks for this!!


    It’s funny you used a 412 with the Captor.


    I often use a Deluxe Reverb profile with a Marshall 412 with v30s in the cab section.


    Ginormous.
