The Rick 360 CW-12 sound

Another thread described the sound of the CW-12 as been closer to the 60s sound. I recently received my CW-12 after Mark Arnquist fixed its factory flaws. I have recorded a song with it called "No More Love". It is the 1st song in the list and this is the web site:

I was going for a George Harrison sound using The POD. To be honest, it was easy getting a McGuinn sound using the POD, but it didn't work with the song as well as The Beatles sound. I set The POD with the black face, but at the last minute used the Vox AC-30 model. Let me know if this is the right sound.

I like it a lot! Great ring. When you use the POD, do you use it alone, or go out to an amp? If to an amp, did you mic it? What did you do for drums? Great song. You have a nice voice, too.

Thanks for your kind words. I used The POD straight into a Mackie mixer and then into a Delta 66 Card. Mark Arnquist suggested these settings:

"Black Faced Fender -amp
Bass at 5, midrange either off (Byrds) or 4 to 6 for Beatles)
Treble about 8
turn on the compressor ,and set the twwek knob at about 1 to 2 oclock
Add a little reverb (about 4 to 5 )
turn the drive way down 2 or 3 tops the master on 4 and the channel volume on 7
that should nail it .

to get the single verion of "WHY" tone , use the small tweed amp setting , turn the mid and bass off , crank the treble to maximum and the rest of the controls are the same."

I tried the above, but the sound was too Byrds like. SO I switched the amp to a Vox AC-30 and that did the trick for a Beatle type sound. I think I also used the Vox cab on the POD. I used both pups on the CW-12. I tried to mic my amp, but gave up right away. That brings another layer of extra tweaking, type of mic, plus the noise factor in the house. BTW, I also used EQ on the Rick track to roll the low end down. They call it a high pass filter.

The drums are the dry studio kit from Drag and Drop Drummer for Cakewalk Sonar software.

Thanks for listening and giving me feedback!

What is "CW-12"? I have a 360/12 that is currently being fixed up by the amazing Mr Arnquist.

Mark:

I still want to send you an audio CD with the Rick sound on it. I am still tweaking the POD.

Thanks again

Oh, I see. The CW stands for Country and Western. No, Chemical Warfare. No, Continuous Wave. No, clockwise. No, cable & wireless. No, caution and warning. Complete with. Committee of the whole. Chilled water. Cheese & Wine!

I saw Carl's amazingly creative brother last year, performing Pet Sounds. What a concert!
