It's been awhile since I have been on the forum. Just recently picked up a Deluxe and Twin Tone Master. These amps are great. This is coming from a cork sniffing tube-only guy. Tired of gigging, I decided to build a studio and try my hand at recording. These amps work great for that purpose. Today both the Deluxe and Twin were used to record rhythm and lead parts for the first time. Some folks might be interested to hear how the raw tracks sound.

Below is a link to a work in process. Go easy on the lead track please :wink: It's just noodling for demo purposes and will be dumped The recordings are straight from the line-out on the back of the amps. No compression, gates, or FX of any kind (just reverb on the amps). Both amps are set to use the IR 2 setting.

Rhythm Guitar 1: Deluxe Reverb at about 8.5 on the volume using a Les Paul Modern
Rhythm Guitar 2: Twin Reverb at about 5.5 on the volume using a Vintage 52 Hotrod Tele (Bridge Mini Humbucker)
Lead Guitar: Twin Reverb at about 7 on the volume using a Les Paul Modern. The first half of the song the guitar is going through a Boss BD-2w. The second half is straight into the amp with more cleanish sounds.

Fender did a great job with these amps. These would be perfect gigging amps.

Which cabinet sim of the amp did you use, #1 or #2?
Do you know the difference between the two simulations? I couldn't find any information about that in the internet or in the manual.

IR#2 was used for the recordings. IR #1 is like a SM57. IR #2 is a ribbon mic. IR1 seems like it would cut better in a live mix. Here is a first pass mix. The Deluxe Reverb is on the left rhythm. Twin on the right rhythm.

Probably a bit too much gain on the lead, but when do you get to open up a Twin with an OD pedal in front?
