Peavey Rockmaster
rabidgerry:
Hi guy's just letting you hear some noodling around and noise from the Peavey Rockmaster. I dunno what anyone thinks of these pre's on here but I really love them since I have owned mine and they have a superb simplicity to them and massive amount of tone on offer. I'll do as much variety as I can over the next while. So far I have clean and Ultra Gain clips.
Gain here has push pull knob engaged for extra boost, gain knob is at 5.8 (not quite at 6)
Bottom about 6.5 Body 3 (push pull not engaged) Edge 7
Guitar is a Squier Showmaster with dp100 in the bridge. Boss GT5 providing reverb and nothing else. EPSI providing speaker impulse.

Some new riffs I I'm working on. I haven't nailed this yet and it hurts my fingers at the moment so I will need practice to get over that and make it smoother.
rabidgerry:
some clean. The clean channel on this is really nice. Not often I give a shit about clean.
setting are all in the middle bar the presence which is up full.
Soloist:
Yeah that Rockmaster sounds F'ing sweet! :thumb-up: Excelllent tone! :bow:
I like the ultra gain riff! Love the gallups :metal:
Clean 2 sounds like an Irish jig :banana-guitar: lol...I know I should have expected it from you! :lol:

Yeah I love the tone. I don't scoop really. Most people I have read about scoop the hell out of this preamp and then complain that it's fizzy. Well some people should learn how to EQ :facepalm:
The push pull in the Body control, gives a different tonality again. So I should record with that pulled out. It adds a tonne of low mid range. It becomes even more gutsy. You can then adjust the edge and bottom controls to suit the shift engaged. I really like it and it's a simple preamp, althought it has so many effects loops its actually a bit crazy!!!
Feel wise it feels a bit stiffer to play than the 3TM, but not in a bad way. I'm sure if you wanted a stickier feel certain tubes would change that. What I have in there at the moment are 1 EHX in the front and the rest are the stock chinese valves from what I can see.
I don't normally play anything clean, but I feel I ignore that side of playing pretty much %100.
I didn't think it sounded Irish traditional at all :lol: I have never played anything at all like that, I swear I haven't the faintest idea how to. Made that up for an intro a long time ago but I can't remember it exactly so I had to just play it they way I thought it went. May be it is and Irish sounding, I may be would have said "folkish"? Open to suggestions. I hate Irish trad music, but I like medieval sounding stuff of classical. None of which I can play either.
Even though I don't play anything like that, I still think that is a great clean tone from a crazy hi gain monster preamp. I just wanted to show that it can have a nice clean sound and is not just a gain machine. It pretty much covers clean, lo, medium and hi gain. More clips on the way when I get a chance.
Perhaps Richard might like the clean tone? Anyone like the clean sound? Last time I bother with that shit :dunno: :lol:
