1st Gen Model T Demo
« on: March 09, 2011, 04:49:00 pm »
Is there anyone that could to a demo of a 1st gen Model T going from clean, to halfway driven to full drive and then with pedals? I wanna get a feel for the amp before I purchase one as I'm gonna to playing a wide variety of music with the amp. Attached to the post is my absolute most favorite tone, the lead guitar track.

I'll do one for you. I have to make some pedal demos anyways. You want guitar or bass?

Guitar. Just need you to dial in a variety of tones at different gain settings and I need to find out if I can capture the tone of the lead guitar on that track I have attached to my first post.

That guitar track sounds pretty gainy and kind of sterile, to my ears it's damn near "hair metal" gainy. Very high middy; seems possibly more modded Marshall - borderline Krank, maybe even SS than Sunnish to me, but my experience is much more with classic Sunns rather than Model T's.
What is the player on the track using? Probably hitting the front end pretty good with overdrive, but still to me that gain sounds like amp gain as much/more than pedal gain.

To me it's very low gain haha. Well the guitar player was either using some sort of modern Marshall head or an Ampeg V4 and as for his guitar it's either a DC Les Paul with P-90s or a Strat with a Seymour Duncan Hot-Rails. I definitely hear the mids, he's one of those Greg Ginn worshippers when it comes to his guitar tone. Are you saying he's using the amp's gain or a pedal?

Will do. I'll do one up for you this weekend.

Keep in mind this is just a guess based on a clip, and this is totally a shot in the dark, but I'd say definitely single coil, near the bridge. Pretty sure it's a little too thin for a P90.
If I guessed based on your choices I'd say Strat with a single (no "glass" probably not a Fender PU) on the bridge through a Marshall, sounds more like amp gain to me but almost has to have a drive pedal even if it is a Marshall. If it's a V4 (doesn't sound like a V4 to me), I'd say it is pretty heavily pedal and/or studio enhanced.

Tight thanks.

Well at the band's last show the guitar player was using a V4 with some OD pedal and a Strat with a Hot-Rails in it but I don't remember if it actually sounded how it did on the record even though it came out shortly before the last show and there's no footy of the show. I'd guess then it's the Strat before before he put the Hot-Rails in it and the amp is probably the same old Marshall he used before the V4.
