interesting... i've been researching different tubes for the PI slot.  what do you know about the power tubes? I have 4 x Sovtek 5881wxt tubes in my Traynor ycv80 wired to a 16 ohm 412 cab but i want a more ballsier sound (like my amp is on steroids) what would you recomend ?

Because it was a lazy day and I wanted to try new things hahaha!
Learned that ADOBE AUDITION has its own MIDI Interface, so, I spent my whole day with it.

VOILA! Gravity by John Mayer! :)

This actually hits a lot of stuff that I wanted to try.
1. Sing a blue-sy track
2. Play Blues Guitar
3. Map MIDI VSTs
4. Copy John Mayer's Strat Tone
5. Do Choir-like Backing Vocals

so yeah hahaha everything was done by me! :)

A short clip of my old song  Life In The Edge Of Space. Also did some little modifications.

Life In The Edge Of Space (Short Preview)

I made this track for a documentary's trailer last January. I've been wanting to share this for a while now. It's the last track I made with Propellerhead Reason before I shifted to Cubase. New tracks coming up soon! :) 

P.S. Photo cred: "Off To The Sea" by Nathan Trivette

Seagulls In Flight (2014)

In vacuum tube amplifiers, the preamplifier tube closest to the output tubes is known as the phase inverter.

Without getting too technical about it, it turns out that what you put in the phase inverter, or PI, spot can substantially affect the overall sound of your amp. Many amplifiers utilizing a class A/B operating class use 12AX7/ECC38 tubes, although the 12AT7/ECC81 variety is also common.

When I first had my amp retubed due to output tube failure, I researched about phase inverters and found that a 12AT7 can also be used in place of a 12AX7 which my amp, a Laney LC50-II combo, originally had. I then bought an 12AT7, along with the EL34s the amp needed for the retube, and had that installed in place of the stock 12AX7.

Luckily, I was able to find the stock 12AX7, and it still works. Fast forward a few months, and I finally had the resources to make a comparison between the two. Above are a series of sample recordings comparing the 12AX7 to the 12AT7 in terms of phase inverter duties.

Here is how the tracks work:

Using my Ibanez RG2550E, I play through my Laney LC50-II, cycling through my guitar's pickup configurations starting from the bridge humbucker and ending up with the neck humbucker. I have cut up the tracks such that what you will hear is sequenced as:

~0:05 - bridge humbucker, 12AX7->bridge humbucker, 12AT7
~0:10 -  bridge hum split + middle single coil, 12AX7->bridge hum split + middle single coil, 12AT7
~0:15 - middle single coil, 12AX7->middle single coil, 12AT7
~0:21 - . neck hum split + middle single coil, 12AX7->neck hum split + middle single coil, 12AT7
~0:26 - neck humbucker, 12AX7->neck humbucker, 12AT7

With the same EQ and volume settings for both tubes, the most noticeable difference between the 12AX7 and the 12AT7 is volume. However, some subtle sound differences can also be heard, especially with distortion.

Equipment:
Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 audio interface
Shure SM57 dynamic microphone
Ibanez RG2550E electric guitar
Laney LC50-II amplifier
MI Audio Tube Zone overdrive pedal
Joyo Vintage Overdrive pedal

12AX7 vs. 12AT7 phase inverter, clean lead

Tosin is in town so I figured I would do a quick test with his guitar!
I am using an 8 string to it's complete capacity.
One string used on the TAM 100, except for the leads which are on one string as well and going through a Dunlop Carbon Copy which is oh so sweet!
