Tech 21•NYC: OXFORD - Direct to sound card with Les Paul (Manalishi Pickups)

www.tech21nyc.com

I like Oranges. The Oxford does a very good Orange. In fact, for the price, size and versatility offered, it's one of the best oranges I've ever tasted! It goes particularly well with a little Les Paul but will suit most guitars.

The new Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series pedals all feature 'Speaker Emulation Defeat' buttons on them to enable use as a regular stomp boxes. I haven't employed that button for this clip, electing instead to use the Oxford's Speaker Emulation to go direct to the computer (as you would with any powered monitors, computer or front-of-house rig). This is what the SansAmp technology was initially designed for and this is where it excels.

Rawk!!

Is the clipping from the YouTube compression, or is it from the original recording?

[Burgerman666]

@SweetSpotGuitar If there's any clipping it would be due to my fledgling engineering skills at the time, nothing else. I might have to revisit this one if I can find the pedal...

[Fishpigg]

so what amp character is this Oxford emulating ? A Marshall?

[Burgerman666]

@Fishpigg Its color might give you a clue. ;)

[loverickbass]

You tried this one with a bass guitar? Hummm

[Burgerman666]

@loverickbass Nope. The bass only comes out under pressure. Can't play the damn thing!

I guess these are emulating modern Orange amps not the original Orange/Matamp. Wishbone Ash used original 1970's Orange amps on their early albums...the sound they got was fantastic...tremendous cleans and a singing, not too distorted overdrive. Thats the sound I'd love to get..

I'd really love to have an orange but they are expensive and hard to get on a third world country, could this be my salvation?

@95shredder ok, thanks

[Anotherblackseason]

I like this pedal but when the treble is up past 2 o'clock it is killing my ears. Thanks for the demo.

@MrBingo9er Muff seems to make everything better ;-)

@Pankratzy hi, I play with 2 tech 21 character plugin in my bass (MM sub) or my guitar (with humbucker PU) .

On the first path there is a maxon od 808 and a tech 21 california, on the second path there is a big muff pi and a tech 21 vt bass... I play mixing both channels or not each one being clean or dirty, with guitar or bass, and it sounds truly amazing... you have to notice that my OD 808 is in a boost position, and it's perfect, as for the result of the big muff in the vt bass. try it ;-)

[faithnoman]

I beg for a bass review with this pedal, burg! I already like my Leeds better than the VT with my Ric - I'd imagine this would sound wonderfully "dirty" on bass.

@tteessaa777 Turning the pedal off disengages speaker emulation. Sorry :(
