Dam that signal chain had my head spinning...I'd say the Fender has a glossy sound instead of glassy

@@SmithMediaSolutions lol yeah now you need to take the Blackstar ID260 TVP modeling amp I got and do a video to see how close it can sound to a true valve amp being you have the big 3 fender, Marshall and mesa.

That was a really cool patching tutorial you gave! Thanks for breaking that down! What a cool instrument to have. That Fender Re-issue really does have a nice ring on it. You nailed it by explaining "It's like it has some chorus"

Thanks so much! What you heard on hear was a feed from my cue mix and as you know I like to record bone dry:) There was nothing on it at all.

The tine is the lower "wire" and the spring around it is for tuning reasons. It's connected to the upper tone bar (the golden thing you muted) via the hexagonal screw. It just works like an asymmetrical tuning fork. The classic amp for it would be a twin reverb silver face because they were voiced on them in the factory. :) Great video anyway, I have to try the parallel compression.

Thank you very much for the info:) You've explained the mystery:)

Why would you record it like that. It sounds like a sample, plug in or a nord. There's no sparkle in the sound. Get rid of all the baffles around the amp and turn it up, add a bit of reverb (3-5) Use a DI with a thru for an amp and DI as well. Then you can re-amp if you want to add different fx. (Echo, wah, modulation, filter etc). I would say your aiming to get a sound like you hear on classic 70s records. You've done the hard work, you've bought the rhodes and the Deluxe. A decent large condenser is good for capturing the deluxe too

Thanks for this video and explaining your setup. FYI - That’s an RCA jack on the back left side of the harp, which feeds the 1/4 inch output jack on the front faceplate. I’ve heard that some people record directly from the RCA jack on the harp into their DAW. I have no idea if preamps or pedals are involved in such a setup or what audio interface they use. I have used the RCA jack on the harp to tune my Rhodes using a guitar tuner, which worked until I got up to like C6, then the signal became too weak and I had to use an amp.
