have kids at home or both , so when we finally find the time to play , it ’ s already too late to crank our stacks . The Superbolt 500 module is a great remedy for this , as it sounds a good bit like a cranked amp , and if you add in a cab sim , you ’ re golden ! Here , using the same B & G Little Sister , I have done a track with the Superbolt dry , and one with a cab sim , to illustrate how you can get a good analog drive tone at whisper quiet levels .
The Hammond organ is one of the most magical sounds in all of recorded music . They ’ re heavy , cumbersome , fickle , and all mechanical , but they sound oh-so sweet . On this clip is my Hammond M3 that I just recently restored , running through a Leslie 147 . I ran a condenser mic and pulled it a few feet back to get the room sound , and used the Colour Box to bring out more lows and highs .
I find that drums always sound best when mixed on analog gear . For this clip , I took a drum track recorded by my good friend Ewan Cunningham in Scotland and summed it to mono . I then ran it through the Colour Box to try and attempt to get that massive and buttery , mono early- ‘ 70s drum sound .
For this clip , I tried the classic combination of miking up a clean guitar amp with an SM57 . The sound was a bit uninspiring and dull , so I used the Colour Box to spruce it up a bit . It ’ s subtle , but you can hear more clarity in the highs and a bit more detail in the lower mids .
