River Darling Revisited with Troubadour

A better recording of my 'River Darling' song using the Troubadour T35 ibanez amp that a bought from Coffs Harbour Guitar Shop. Bloke at the shop was good - actually knew about the gear he was selling and showed me how to drop the mids down when using amplification to get a better acoustic sound.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking at getting this amp and have not been able to test out the dual channel feature. All music stores don't have mics you can hook up to test it. This shows me that it still has a balanced good sound even with the mic plugged in. I pretty much had my mind set on the Troubador just for it's guitar sound alone. Now I am 100% sure this is what I will buy. Thanks for helping me in my decision. Keep up the playing...you sound awesome.

@cwin12 Thanks, yeah, the dual channel works alright. The only thing to watch is if you plug something into the CD/aux input and forget to unplug it, it seems to ditract a lot from the tone and volume of the guitar channel. The mic and guitar channel work fine together. I decided on the troubadour because of the individuality and build quality. Just makes sure with these smaller watt amps, your setup has a preamp - I tried a soundhole pickup in my Maton and it wasn't very loud.

Are your vocals running through the amp too?

[Adnamira]

@mistermullens Yes, they are. It has two channels. I bought it to kind of do small gigs... friends places, casual pub jams and stuff.

nice one. like you i liked the warmth of the troubadour.. it has a nice tone

[Adnamira]

@sw3210 yeah, I thought it had a bit of character compared to some of the other amps in the range

[Adnamira]

@VanessaSurian Thankyou, you are a very gracious lady. I am trying to teach myself to press more lightly on the strings, because my finger joints have been aching, so that is why I was mesmerised by your fingers. I think it would improve my playing too if I can fret the strings more delicately.

[VanessaSurian]

Your manhands work very well here =) Sounding great!

@Adnamira LOL I might rival you at that being an "addict" thing. I like this song by the way, it's got a Simon and Garfunkel-y ring to it.

@riodejanero2007 I listened to the Laney and Marshall amps on youtube. The Marshall was a good natural sound, but I thought the Laney had a bit more sparkle. They are probably both better priced and more versatile than the Troubadour, but I fell in love with the personality and style of the troubadour, and the build quality is beautiful too. I'll check your channel out. My internet has been slowed at the moment. I'm a youtube addict :P
