The peanut that I got the cluster from must have been too busy using both his arms and a mirror trying to pinpoint the exact location of his arse to have had any time to check that what he was telling me was correct because we have the 1.38 third gear mentioned in my post above as the standard V8 ratio set, we wanted the 1.25 which is what he told me we were getting....from June 12 2012

Just ordered an M21 cluster and new third gear. we go from 1.51:1 down to 1.25:1 which means we hit top at 5600 instead of 4700.


so there we go.

When it drops off and I can no longer remember where it was I feel compelled to bring it forward again---maybe I can get 199 to help me with my CRS for awhile

I was having a beer with Nicky del Ray the guitarist in that clip last Sunday and told him that this clip had become popular with the folk here on LSR.com....... I've been putting the bite on Mark for a cut for promotional services but he's a slow payer......most of those peeps there are still playing regular gigs, Nicky was playing yesterday, Tanya Lee is playing today and of course despite his contention in  the song Mark Ferrie is now very famous as the bass player in the Rock-Kwiz band, a TV show shot live here in Melbourne featuring a rock n roll quiz show and live music.....

anyway here's a clip from your back yard, this guy can play guitar......

A line out from the mix desk would have been a better source - we're hearing the camera mic on this one.

If I learned nothing else in my years doing shows behind the console, it's this - the damned electric guitar will always find its way into the mix.  I'd always stick a mic in front of the guitar player's amp, but as often as not, the fader was down.

What, a letter of reprieve?

Clause 29 of the Magna Carta is still in force.

Chris is right, it's off the camera. You never trust a guitar player who plays with their amp at their feet...unless it's pointing at their head they're always too loud, they may well still be too loud, but it's slightly less likely if it's pointing at them.That guy is too loud, but he's bloody rockin'.There's another issue with not being near the focal point of the amp and that is that you hear a different tone profile, generally it's short on high frequencies and so you overcompensate.He's still rockin.

It's all coming back to me
We used to get the Guitarist to point his amp across the stage and at his head
That way there was always someone on stage to tell him to turn it down

No criticism intended of the performance-- it was rockin' but it was marred by the poor audio. If it was only the camera mic the engineer gets off blameless.
