Sound Files

   Details: All gutiar parts were recorded at a 32 track / 24 bit digital studio. Useing a Shure SM57 (and a close microphone technique)  and NO eq, or compression from the board was added, we put the sound straight to tape.  We wanted to let you have a side by side comparison.  Our goal was to use the same guitar player and the same guitars. With all the levels the same, including tone, volume, ect.  We were unable to do that because of the vast difference in output of theses two amplifiers. See example below.

Example 1     Reissue Bassman with a Telecaster

Example 2      Moddified 45 watt amp with a Telecaster

We felt it unfair to the Reissue Bassman to leave the comparison like this so we increased the volume of The Reissue Bassman.  Here are all the settings and sound files.
