Single SM57 aimed toward center of cab, two feet back to capture full x-patterned cab sound.
Both amps were in 100 watt mode, OD1, with all the EQ controls at noon, gain at around 2:00, volume at 9:00, and clean boosted with a Maxon OD-9 (drive-off, level-1:00, tone-11:00). Guitar used was a Gibson Les Paul Custom with a seymour duncan SH5 custom in the bridge.
Ideally, I would not run the Nitro's bass that high, but kept everything at noon for the sake of comparison.
Setups compared:
Nitro - Gov/MoW
QR - Gov/MoW
Nitro - Gov/SB25
QR - Gov/SB25
Keep in mind that these amps do not have entirely stock tubes in them. I've selected both power and pre-amp tubes to get them to my ideal sound. The power tubes are also rated differently to help balance out each amps attributes. Because of this, their differences aren't as apparent as they would be stock b/c they are somewhat blended now.Tags: splawn nitro quickrod windsen eminence governor man-o-war maxon od-9 |
