Who Likes Queensryche? (New Cali Mod and Anderson Clip)

[gibson5413]

Hey guys. I haven't had much time to play or record lately. I had about an hour to play this afternoon and it was a blast. Made the backing track last night and did all the guitars this afternoon (learned as I went). I forgot how much I like these guys. I decided to cover Jet City Woman. I wasn't going for the original tones but like what I got. The Cali mod is a killer amp! I am really loving the Anderson too. I can easily see it becoming my #1 player.

I didn't have time for the clean parts but thought I would share the tune. Excuse the clams here and there. All the guitars with the exception of the main lead was without a boost (I used a clean boost on the main lead).

What do you think?

It was fun no matter what!

Thanks! I haven't had as much time to play over the past 8 weeks. I have been training for one of my big races for 2010. I am running the Ragnar Wasatch Back for the second year in a row (http://www.ragnarrelay.com/wasatchback/index.php). As soon as it is over I will get back to playing this killer Drop Top. I am seriously loving this guitar!

It is a mod by Mike Fortin (http://www.fortinamps.com/). It is his take on the Jose Arredondo circuit mod that he performed on Marshalls back in the day. Mine is a modded JCM800.

Please see above. You can e-mail Mike from his website.He is currently working on his new production amps but will always talk about modding an amp. Great guy!

It is and is so much fun to play. The cool thing is that I can bypass the mod and play the amp as if it were stock. Kind of like having the best of both worlds.


sounds really great!

Thanks!

Fortins Cali Mod is the only one I've seen, its amazing. I've definitely heard that Fortin is the way to go. That amp blows my mind... excuse me while I pick brain matter from my keyboard

Sounds amazing man! :D

Thanks for the info on the cali mod Gibson. There is a guy here on the east coast, Trace Davis. His shop is called Voodoo amps, it's in northern New York State. voodooamps.com. He does what he calls a jose mod, must be the same thing. I met him just this saturday at an amp show. I had a 77 Marshall JMP MarkII 100w that I sold when I stopped playing. BIG MISTAKE:( :eek:

It is similar to Trace's mod. The Cali mod is Mike Fortin's take on the Jose. I have heard some clips of Voodoo's version and wasn't as impressed. The Fortin mod is very close to Mark Cameron's version (which sounds awesome). For the kind of music I play, it fits like a glove.

One of the major pieces is the Anderson Drop Top. I am seriously loving it. I played it acoustically last night for about 2 hours.
