Cryin' Joe Satriani Cover Improvisation Reprise JS1200 H&K Switchblade 50

A reprise of a cover I did a year ago. I just wanted to do a better version. Still work has to be done on the end-solo. Gear used: Ibanez JS1200 and a Hughes & Kettner Switchblade 50 tube amp. No pedals were used in this one. The amp was mic'ed with a Shure SM57. That goes into a E-MU 04040USB and from there it goes to my recording software, Ableton Live. Then I synced the recording with the video and stripped the camerasound.

hey dude nice playing man... your sounds is amazing man... i agree better timing now. I own the boss gt-10 man too. i was wonder what tube amp did you use for this sound?? did you use any preamp? im new with this staff of gt-10. i have been using the boss to pa system in church but the sound is quite annoying to bright etc what amp will your recommend me?

@ephiphone35 I used a Hughes & Kettner Switchblade 50 here. I recommend a tube amp with an effect-loop and you can choose wether the GT-10 pre-amp is used or your amp's. I wish you luck with the acoustics and sound characteristics of a church though, must be hard but I guess the warmth of a tube-amp will help a lot.

@Hv358 thank you man for you response... yeah man but one question what will you recommend me for input signal of a telecaster? mine sounds way to bright and i was wonder if you could help me out or something... i tried the eq and doesnt help a lot. Should i decrease the level or increase the presence? Global settings man help me out im frustaded it

@ephiphone35 I guess you might want to limit the output power to 12 o'clock. Also cut back the treble on the Tele, maybe change some pickup(s). But maybe the best you could do is to lend or try another guitar, to find out wether that makes a (huge) difference or not. If the base (Tele) doesn 't work for you then the GT-10 will not change that a lot. The bright & bite are very characteristic for a Tele, it will be hard to compensate that.

love the sound i am looking to upgrade to this amp when i get the cash how does it behave when you use pedals with it

[vooooooooooho]

Hi. Can you do an H&K amp review please? :)

[ephiphone35]

@Hv358 thanks man for the advise and yeah that was the first thought i had this day,, try with another guitar so i'll see what happens but i might borrow one or something and about the tube amp i got in mind... right i connect the gt-10 to a pa system and sounds terrible man. too way bright or its just i cant make the right sounds... My guitar is a Fender Telecaster J5 and what is uncommon in this particular guitar are the pickups i have one single coil for neck and a humburker on the other way

[ephiphone35]

@Hv358 well actually i have a fender telecaster j5 and i dont know man like you said its hard but i'll try to do my best for the Lord and thank you man for your response... i'll have in mind your advise... thanks and May God bless you

@callerz1 Although the finish was good the hardware and intonation needed work. And the action was too high. Some knobs were pretty loose too. A bit of a letdown. On the other hand, I never bought a guitar, even expensive ones, I liked straight away, coming straight of the box. The neck of the JS1200 is absolutely fantastic. It's not flat, more towards a Strat.
