Who else goes well on good old Tom Petty's music?

Who else goes well on good old Tom Petty's music? 🙂

The guitars in Tom Petty's Learning To Fly. How a simple arrangement can sooth the ears.

On YT, I've put a detailed explanation on the parts, and how the arrangement in this track is build up. Link in bio.

Just love good old Tom Petty's music!

The cat dragged in this wonderful little Fender ‘6

The cat dragged in this wonderful little Fender ‘600 amp’ from 1952. 🍀 That’s PRE-Tweed era! Super cool little amp with it’s 6SJ7 metal preamp tube and the early 5C1 circuit. 📺

Check out the cool details on the cabinet such as the little button that holds the baffle, and the vinyl & fabric that’s on it. 👌 It may have seen a little moisture somewhere in the past, but this thing is 72 years old…🕰️

…and…it’s still running on it’s original Astron filter capacitors, which are leaking and expired. Hell, perhaps everything is expired in this…⌛️😉

It still works sounds beautiful though! Tired, but warm, dynamic and balanced. Old RCA 6sj7 and 5y3, and a vintage Tung-Sol 6v6 🙏

I would describe the 5C1 Champ circuit as somewhat dark, loose and easy-going. Less aggressive as a 5F1 Champ. The breakup happens at a lower frequency point, and it takes a pedal very well, even Fuzz ones. The 6 inch speaker doesn’t sound harsh at all. It’s tolerance ceiling adds exactly the right stuff at that scale of volume.🎚️🎙️

Miced up, these can create sonic miracles.🎼🎭🎉
So, let’s preserve this cool thing to let it produce some more cool guitar tones!🎸

A fine little bluesrig for a show with @jacobsonkjell’s Bluesmonks! 🥳🎸

Music from Bonnie Rait, Robben Ford, Fleetwood Mac, JJ Cale and a few cool etc’s, together with a fine set of gentlemen.

That’s going to be a lot of fun, for sure!

Also a great opportunity to enjoy a unique pedal from Mr. @z.xobanka’s from Hungary. It’s a very well build fantastic sounding rendition of the 1960s Vox Tonebender MKII, a Fuzz with really cool harmonics and overtones from the upper octave🪄

He build this pedal for me, which is a great honor to begin with. All it took to get it is a session of daytime drinking in Budapest, which was quickly dealt with recently…☕️🍷🤗🍷🫨🥃😵‍💫🍷🥃?😵

What makes a creative space feel good? Plants, I guess. 🍀

Effective, solid and a ‘minimal’ amount of gear, viby wooden interior, and good controlled acoustics is what comes to mind as well. 😌

Every now a good revamp of creative space gives new inspiration. 🗓️

So a few weeks ago I went ahead and basically stuffed the side walls of this room with rockwool under white fabric over wooden posts. 🛠️ Small wooden trims then create top to bottom acoustic panels, with a nice look. Results? Well tada... that works. 🤭

Almost finished revamping this room, but working it feels easy. 🥳

Here’s a short sample of an acoustic recording for a client, and a handclap in the room untreated vs. 1 side treated vs. both sides treated. 🪄

Have a great weekend you all!❤️

A little bluesing on my dimed Princeton Reverb. On YouTube a video about preamp tube swapping for better sound quality for the reissue amp.

Then again on YouTube there’s also beautiful videos about birds and vegetable garden stuff. Go watch those. 🍀

Tracking electric slide for a client. 🎸Goldtoppy turns green when looked at it from an angle. 🤢

It can be trusted though! 👌

Layering some southern sunny acoustics for a client with this sweetheart.

It’s a Yamaha FG-340 from the late 70s. Been in the family for quite a while, and will give it a proper service soon! Still tracks fine as it is. 👌

Viola isn’t complaining either 🐱

Love working in this humble creative space. Don’t need anything else, except for a lot of other fancy gear, 🤣 but this setup just works, works quick and nicely.

(Check out the height adjustable studio desk, which is just a teak dinner table on top of a motorised set of legs)
