Thanks to you and Congratulations, George 🙂 Thank you once again, Rob! Additionally, the ebay link was proposed to me by brother/member SGAce – George – who has also had his wife give birth to two wonderful twins. Philippe – being disabled – wouldn’t do anything but open the door at the carrier door buzz for pickup. It was acquired on ebay, from a disabled guy names “Philippe” and solely thanks to the help of brother/member Rob Taylor, who has completely managed from within the UK the pickup and shipping process. It is an original, near minty 1979 slanted cabinet of the period loaded with them Celestions G12-65. The cabinet I used here is a “new” entry for me. It was a much better instant match than the Celestions G12Ms. Now, the real news for us here could be the fact that I used 1979 Celestions G12-65s here. The sound of the guitars on this album is rather bright – especially on the rhythm ones – so I did slightly put some center cone as well in it.Īdditionally, it is my strong belief that the whole album was recorded solely with Marshall 2203s, which is what I have done as well.
Better a straight position as on the bottom ones. I had tried the top ones, but they give a “funky” strange response, you can hear a lot more the room and I didn’t want them. I always use the bottom cones, especially on the slanted cabinets. The final position is what you see on video, nothing really complex, a 3 inch distance from the outer right bottom cone, slightly towards the center of the cabinet. While Mark Opitz – sound engineer for this album – talks about two microphones, the “AC/DC in the studio” interview talks about one microphone per cabinet. Eventually, will look for the charts.īon was also a user of the U47 FET for vocals, and I think he sang thru’ a U47 FET here. The two microphones are said to be slightly different, but I do not know in what they differ, frequency response wise. Since I don’t have a U47 FET – and I don’t intend on getting one for now – I used the closest thing (in my mind) that I could use: its former self. The FET design came into place after Neumann couldn’t source anymore (in good quantities) the VF14 valves (tubes) needed for the original U47.
The microphone used in this album – or the microphones – was a Neumann U47 FET, a different microphone to the Neumann U 47 tube version, which is older than the FET design. I have been trying with the microphone position (Neumann U47) and with mild – really just a bit – equalization. This one took me circa four days to prepare, before final recording that is.
