Stratocaster slow ballad solo with Ceriatone Plexi 50

Dedicated to my internet buddy "pestolesto" and his newborn child. I'm using a Ceriatone Plexi 50 with a PPI master volume, a Maxon OD9, Boss DD-3 and a Behringer digital reverb pedal. The guitar is my Jacaranda JST made by www.jacaranda.it

How do you find the volume difference between th DSV+ and the single coils? It seems remarkably smooth in this clip. Is the humbucker lowered from the strings very far?

[mamasaid]

@imatube2 , it's pretty easy to balance the volume output really, the DSV+ is not an ultra hot humbucker. The main difference does not come from the volume but from the fact that the DSV is a lot more full of mids and sounds honky compared to the single coil pickups. You can hear that clearly in the recording. The humbucker sounds more "rock".

@mamasaid So how about comparing a DSV+ and SSV+? Which would you recommend more for jazz,blues and mainstream radio pop rock songs? I currently have a set of V60s in neck and middle and SSV+ in bridge..

[mamasaid]

@funkyj0seph, the SSV+ is supposed to have less fat mids than the DSV+ so I guess the SSV+ should be better for mainstream pop.

Man...beautiful ballad and playing! Tone tone tone! Why did you chose the 87 over the 86?

[mamasaid]

@dparel, the 86 is a bass amp.

Hey man great tone. What backing track is this? I am looking for more tracks just like this one.  A link to the download would be much appreciated!!!1 Thanks!

[Donincal]

That was some very nice playing.

please repost the ceriatone bass plexi videos :)

last question (i think i've fallen in love with your vid), where could i find the backing track you're using ?

[fend14]

sorry for all the questions, i'm in doubt between your amp and a ceriatone silver jubilee, for eric johnson's rhythm and lead tones. what do you think ?

[fend14]

did you use the maxon for boosting the amp or standalone OD ? great tone

[fend14]

did you get lucky with the recording tone or does it really sound like john mayer's tone ?

[joebrown1096]

Really nice tone!!!. If you don't mind, what are your settings on the ceriatone and the maxon OD9. Thanks for your help.
