Eric clapton wav files

I generally put the amp volume knob between 8 and You can really feel the amp vibrating at these volumes. Keep in mind that the higher you turn the tone knobs on the amp, the more the amp saturates.

All knobs up will yield more overdrive then cutting the EQ. A lot of it comes from the room. Although there are a few photos with a close mic on the cab most likely a few inches back , I would try at least six to eight inches. There is a lot of bleed into other mics in the room. If you have a big room, set up some room mics and blend a healthy amount in. He rarely used much more than a wah, and contrary to speculation, he never used a treble booste Play Video Regarding preamps and compression — keep it old-school.

Helios or a UA are both great mic preamps from the time. For compressors, think LA-2A or a Fairchild. I like ribbon mics or tube condensers for this application. Some claim they have no impact. I believe they do.

Not everyone hears the change. But for those of us with dog ears, we can hear it clearly. These caps tend to be a little warmer, with slightly softer transients than Orange Drop caps.

It may seem insignificant, but the right caps can really help impart a vintage vibe to your Gibson. You can basically vintage-ify a modern Les Paul to sound incredibly close to a vintage one with the correct wiring and caps. And if you really want to be thorough about it, replace the stop tailpiece with an aluminum one. They were all aluminum during this period. Each of these elements has a cumulative effect.

It takes a lot of volume to get most speakers to break up that way. More volume than a lot of home recording environments allow. You can detect a fuzzy character in some of the Cream recordings. I attribute this fuzz to speaker breakup. After all, that was a lot of volume hitting the mic and preamp. Part of the sound of this Clapton era is room tone. Luckily, there are some great room reverb plugins that will allow you to reamp the source. No close mic blended in. I think the low-end roll is partly due to mic placement and EQ.

We can also start to hear the difference between the open-back cab on the Beano record and the closed-back cab on the Cream records. The same thing applies to the tone knob. Roll it back, but not all the way. In these examples, I also used a UAD preamp to add some preamp distortion.

This was to get a bit of that speaker breakup. One last thing worth mentioning. Using pure nickel strings can also help direct us to this tone. Pure nickel, such as the DR Pure Blues , have a more rounded sound. Pure nickel delivers a nice warm and balanced sound. Now the hard part — practice! There are many variables that can impact the tone and quality of a guitar recording — from setup, string gauge, amps and pickups, to processing, effects and miking.
