of a guitar power amp. This way you can crank up a (tube) guitar power
amp to drive it until it starts clipping, and still record at a volume which
will protect your hearing and keep the neighbors friendly. A clipping tube
power amp adds distortion and harmonics to the guitar amp signal and is
something most guitar players love. A fully cranked up tube guitar amp
tamed in volume with a power soak will sound different than the same
amp with the master volume turned down.
We have modeled the behavior of the Friedman tube power amp, so you
may experiment with different settings of the Master of the amp and the
internal Power Soak. We recommend a setting of roughly -10dB for most
scenarios.
Cabinets we used for the Recording
American 4x12
Mesa Boogie Rectifier® 4fb 280W 4x12 Vintage 30
The STANDARD Rectifier® 4x12 is the “oversized” 4x12, providing
thundering low-end punch and resonance which is perfectly tuned with
the smooth, tailored midrange and articulate, clear high-end. This is the
most popular 4x12 cabinet and an icon in heavy music.
Friedman Buxom Betty 1x12
Friedman Buxom Betty 1x12EXT - 1×12” open-back extension cabinet 65W
The Friedman Buxom Betty 1x12EXT is a 1×12”, open-back extension
cabinet. A perfect match for the Buxom Betty head, this cab utilizes tongue
and groove Baltic Birch construction to deliver the bass, mid response
and great sound you would expect from a Friedman cab.
At the heart of the cab is a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback 16 Ohm speaker.
The G12M Greenback is the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet
guitar speaker. When the G12M was developed in the mid-sixties, players
like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page, who typified the louder and more
aggressive blues rock-playing styles that came to characterize that era,
quickly adopted it.
