Effects Bus

Scratched my head about the bus layout of the Peavey for a while, but now I get it!

This has my guitar plugged directly into 1 amp channel, then the effects output sent to the digital pedal to run a copy with the Chorus turned on. This is sent back into the AUX input which the amp mixes back onto the main bus with the guitar. So it has a nice clean sharp sound of the plain guitar, with a copy layer of chorused sound with it. All still dumped into the Sansui at line level to a B&W speaker and mic -> laptap.

Crank this up and you will hear more and more of the copy.

Thanks to Waage for the amp head/mixer that is now a part of my Old Audio Gear Studios (tm).
Peavey MP-4 Mark III 100H Mixing Amplifier

The thing seems to have a ton of high-end output compared to the flat amps I've been using, and it was a little hard to get it to not saturated the speakers. I ended up killing off alot of the low-end in the process on these 2 snippets, but the mic picked everything up pretty close to the sound in the room.

These are made with the pedal in default Metal mode (max volume), one channel of the Peavey with max gain, and sent through the Sansui receiver at 1/4 volume just to match impedance until I go get my soldering iron out. Sent to a single B&W speaker with the Shure mic in the normal location. Two standard little riffs I play alot:

LATER: after some fiddling I realized why the EQ was so messed up on these: this is played with only the lead pickup, instead of both.

Mic to Laptop

Moved the guitar setup upstairs, and this is just a couple snippets I was playing on the last road trip. These don't sound like I want yet, cause of swapping to the electric for them and this is recorded with the mic for the first time upstairs... will take a while before I like what I hear.


You can hear the drum machine in the mic a little.

First is mostly a E and Am pair, inspired by Pink Floyd's Run.

Next is just something I was using to practice hammer downs with my pinky.
