Carolina SongBird 2018 new amp demo
« on: July 09, 2018, 04:13:44 pm »
I've call this several other names including a Mars Champ and a SE-M & FX 6V6 …………….   finally settled on calling it a  Carolina SongBird 2018.

Anyhow, the amp is a gift for someone & I decided to make some sound clips in different playing styles to demo the amp.  I think for a single ended amp of maybe 3-4 watts,  that it has reasonably decent headroom.  I added some compression, delay and EQ in the mix.  No OD pedals. I used a Moen delay pedal set so low on delay that it was barely noticeable.  So, the delay and such that you are hearing are in the mix.

Used a 335 style semi-hollow on the "jazz" track and Tele with H-S-H and a Tele with all strat single coils.

Wow, that sounds really nice.  Much bigger sound than its size.  Also, hard to make a Marshall-esk preamp sound good clean (in my opinion).  This is really really nice.  Like to hear it with 12" speaker.  I'd bet that would round it out perfect.  Well done as usual.  Lets see some pics of that cabinet!

PS, really nice playing there going down!

Nice mix of sound/tones.  Actually a very pretty sounding amp.  Single coils sound bouncy.
