Blackheart BH5H Amp Demo with POD X3L

A modded Blackheart BH5H and BH112 demo. checkout http://www.rowbinet.co.uk/Blackheart/blackheart.htm for a schematic of my permanent PA mod. As well as theat mod, I've replaced the stock tubes with a JJ/Tesla EL84 and ECC83S. Lastly I've replaced the stock speaker with a Celestion Vintage 30, just for kicks.

Other gear used was an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, with no mods, going into a Line 6 POD X3 Live, then to the blackheart, then miced with a Thomann T.Bone MB-85 Beta (a copy of a Shure SM58 and SM57 all in one) going into a LIne 6 Toneport UX2, and finially to Sonoma Riffworks Standard for the recording and the drums. I used no post processing, and I'm new to mic'ing amps, so the sound could be improved on a little, but as it is, the video is about 95% of the way to sounding like it does in real life... so I'm happy.

Did you come up with this riff all alone? ;))

[rowbi12345]

@deadheadsg why? Does it sound like something? I was just jamming over some double stops and power chords, but if I've ripped something off then please say and I'll put it in the video info.

[thegr8HarV]

that is way to fucking intricate for me to keep track of

[rowbi12345]

@thegr8HarV not sure what you're trying to keep up with?

[hamiltoes]

well im usually a drummer and don't much about amps and im just looking for something to mess around on and learn to play the guitar maybe jam with some friends should i save money to wait and get the bh15h? Is it much better as far as loudness goes or can you just get more tone from it. I dont need anything with pro tone since i will mostly likely not be giging with it, so should I just save a $100 and get the 5 watt or should I just wait to get the 15watt? Im using a S-S-H set up guitar

[rowbi12345]

i've never played a bh15h so I can't really comment on it... but i have used my bh5h playing with a band, so you should find it plenty loud enough. the bh15h does have a gain knob so you may be able to get higher gain at a lower volume then the bh5h.

either will work fine with H-S-S setup.

@rowbi12345 I didnt mean, you ripped your riff off from another player, or band. I just tried to point out, how the riff is so extremely simple.. Dont take it a bad way, but in other hand i think every starter band and every one of us has played this as well as C, G, Am, F.. :) Regards!

sounds shit man, why make the "mods" if you are to have a crap recording/live sounds. needs alot more dynamic, but i guess does improve in the latter half

@rowbi12345 i was being sarcastic

[666guitarfreak]

will i get a good sound if i turn of the amp+cab simulation, and just use the effects from my pod x3live, through a tube amp? or will it sound messed up?

[ollyworld]

@jcm8001789 ...but a tubepreamp like the marshall jmp-1 still sounds great with a transistorpoweramp for example the hughes&kettner cf-200 which emulates the behaviour of a tubepoweramp...a transistor or modelling preamp will always stay what it is..perhaps the overallsound is a little warmer...
