OK, here is the setup.
Preamp 1 is:
Original Blackfaced
Rocktron Chameleon through Return on Legacy
head (input loop bypasses ALL
control knobs)
Preamp 2 is:
Carvin Legacy head (all knobs set to 7 ala-Vai settings)
PreAmp 3 is:
Early 80's Boss DS-1 through clean channel on Legacy Head
(Treb 7, Mid 7, Bass 4 Ala-Vai Settings)
PreAmp 4 is:
Analog Man Boss DS-1 again clean on Legacy
PreAmp 5 is:
Original "first batch" 1978 Boss DS-1 through clean on Legacy
The guitar was my new (used) Jem VWH all stock, through those cool
armored cables through above mentioned equipment out of my
(soon to be modified) stock Mid-80s Laney cab loaded with stock 70s
The Laney cab is soon to be modded to see what I can get out of it
with stock parts, but better (re)manufacture.
I also have a Legacy 2X12 with Greenbacks to be delivered tomorrow
As well as I'm going to be workin on micing my cabs better. I think the
area I had the cab in my bedroom was too small for the cab to "breath"
and the micing suffered because of early reflections or something. So
I'm going to drag into the room my sound diffusers and also place the
cab along a long open wall and try again.
Hopefully I can clean up and fix all this mess and come out with a better
sound. I do appreciate everyones help with this. You all just proved
that I spent about $1000+ looking for a sound that I already had.
I really love my Chameleon and I think with a good amp and the Legacy
cab I'm expecting tomorrow, I can have MUCH closer to the Tone In My
Head!
