Gibson Les Paul Studio Bonamassa - Heavy Tones

Here's a run through of my LP Bonamassa playing some heavy stuff.

I did not do every amp from a mix perspective but do have raw tracks for everything.  Instead I did three clips:  JVM, Mark V, and a mix of Mesa/Marshall.  I have reamps for the 6505+ but didn't do any mixing with them.

1st up - JVM

1960a Mics - Sennheiser on t75, 57 on V30

3rd - Amp Mix
Mad Scientist Mix - Mark V and JVM (with above settings) on the Left, RA-100 / Recto (Modern Red) on the Right, Mark V with a little RA-100 in the solo.  The Protone Misha sig is being used as a boost for the Recto and the RA-100 (Vintage Hi).

Gibson Les Paul (EMGs) Heavy Tones (Part 6 - Mesa RA-100)

The last set of heavy tones with the Les Paul with EMGs into the Mesa Royal Atlantic RA-100 head.  For the both the rhythm and lead tones used the Vintage Hi Channel, 100 watts, no multisoak.  For a boost I used the Protone Misha Mansoor OD.  The cab I plugged into is the Mesa Recto 4x12 which is miked up with an SM57 and an MD 421 (same mic setup as the Dual Rec and Mark V)

Again this was done with a reamp box.

Even MORE heavy tones with the Les Paul with EMGs into the Peavey 6505+.  For the both the rhythm and lead tones used the Lead Channel unboosted.  The cab I plugged into is the Mesa Recto 4x12 which is miked up with an SM57 and an MD 421 (same mic setup as the Dual Rec and Mark V)

This was done with a reamp box.

Gibson Les Paul (EMGs) Heavy Tones (Part 4 - Mesa Mark V)

More heavy tones with the Les Paul with EMGs into the Mesa Mark V.  For the both the rhythm and lead tones used Channel 3 Mark IV mode, 90 watts full power.  In back it's set to Pentode.   No boost on this guy.  The cab I plugged into is the Mesa Recto 4x12 which is miked up with an SM57 and an MD 421 (mics setup the same way as in the Recto clip)

I used a reamp box for these clips.

Gibson Les Paul (EMGs) Heavy Tones (Part 3 - Mesa Dual Rectifier)

More heavy tones with the Les Paul with EMGs into the Mesa Dual Recto.  For the rhythm tones the amp is set to Ch 3 Modern, Bold, Silicon Diode.  The lead part is set to Ch 2 Vintage, Bold, Silicon Diode.   I used the Protone Misha Mansoor as a boost.  The cab I plugged into is the Mesa Recto 4x12 which is miked up with an SM57 and an MD 421.

This time I used a reamp box!  Will do this for all the rest of the clips.
