ceriatone plexi 50 lead and bass soundcheck

getting some sounds out of my brand new ceriatone plexi 1987. gibson les paul studio, dunlop crybaby wah, ts9, plexi with winged c el34. avatar 212 cab with celestion g12h30's, weber mass attenuator set to ten or minimum attenuation. i do not reccomend using a 60 watt cab like i have because a 50 watt plexi on full blast is nearly 70 watts and will damage the speakers. i unfortunately didnt know that at the time when i bought the cab but oh well.. playing is pretty sloppy at parts but its about the tone not the playing so dont get too caught up in all the errrors. miced with one shure sm57. youtube takes a huuuge cra on the sound quality btw

this sounds nothing like a 50 watt marshall plexi...NOTHING!!!

[skateVA]

@fastandbulbis yea i dont hear a marshall sound in this video i think it could have something to do with the way i miced it or that this was brand new speakers and brand new everything (and it isnt a marshall). to my ears (when im playing not listening to this recording) it sounds more like a marshall than the new marshall 1987x. but ive never played a real vintage marshall :(. compared to this video i would say that my tone is more compressed and less crunchy. also maybe more midrange punch.

can you get nice distortion/overdrive using pedals at bedroom level out of it?

[skateVA]

@SuperTopa123 u theoretically could but i personally get 0 satisfaction from playing this amp at bedroom levels. and even with an attenuator on ur not gonna get bedroom levels. if u want bedroom levels get a vox ac4 or a blackstar or something

[1234Sebster]

How diffrent would you say these are then a marshall ?

[skateVA]

@1234Sebster i would prefer this to a new produtcion marshall but ive never played a vintage one and im sure they are better than this. the best marshall sound u can get nowadays is probably metroamp

[acdckisszeppelin]

I disagree with fastand, your tone sounds great and very Marshally Plexi cranked!

very nice, I like it.

[Zeppelindude628]

nice :) heard some of The Sword in there

I use a Ceriatone Plexi50 1987 lead with a Marshall 1936 112. Check out my band The Gypsy Bangles for our tunes and a REAL vintage sound...

The actual amp sounds very very nice! The problem is mic placement! As I see, it's almost on-axis. That's a big mistake with an SM57, unless you are recording Van Halen (this mic position with an SM57 is actually the key to the brown sound, but nothing else). If you want a more general plexi tone, move your mic halfway between the center and the edge, and a few inches away from the grill cloth. Oh, and set that attenuator at least a click down. The speakers sound like they want to blow up :)

[adam10603]

the brown sound is really nice :)

[superiansuper]

does this one has a master volume on the back of the amp?

[blooperjohn]

sounds cheap

[Ahxzin]

Sounds way too fizzy, Might have something to do with your mic placement, I've personally never gotten anywhere putting a 57 so close to the centre of the cone. Try right on the edge angled to the centre. needs some EQing, but it sounds way fatter and more natural.
