Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby

This track is the isolated drums and bass from Van Halen's tune So This is Love from the album Fairwarning. I recorded my own guitar track for this song to demonstrate the tone of my Plexi builds under RJS Amps. This amp is a 100 watt plexi style amp based off the values found in Ed's 68 Plexi. I am using NOS sylvania 6CA7's and NOS preamp tubes provided by TubeTramp aka Terry Kilgore. I am also usinf a Ohmite Variac set to 90 Volts, with the bias cranked in the amp. all controls on the amp are set to 10 and the speakers are ne Creambacks loaded in a 68 Marshall Cab.
