The last part of the guitar/bass chain is the Sunn Coliseum Cabinet (1970). It is 4ohms with. a 18” Sunn Transducer…in addition to the single 18” speaker there is a folded horn speaker…it is great match for my Sunn Sceptre Amp and sounds very deep, thick and warm…I love the horn speaker addition which is the old horn speakers you think of from a phonograph…horns are gaining popularity again because they are especially good at pushing high frequency sounds…for mics on a cab there are benefits to all 3 types of mics so here I did a lineup of one ribbon, one dynamic and one large diaphragm condenser…if I have the ability I’ve also experimented with mixing the back of a cabinet which is cool cause it gets the rumble and the sound from the air the cabinet is pulling through it, which can beef up a guitar recording

Part 3 of the guitar/bass chain is the Sunn Scepter amp. While I have other amps this is my most prized. It’s from 1969 and I’ve had it since 2009. I’ve played it in all of the band I’ve been in but it is also ideal for the studio. It gets loud but always stays under control, the reverb and contour are beautiful and the real magic is in the tubes in the back which sound great clean or when you want to break them up to get natural distortion….The only other head I would consider to rival it would be a Marshall. IMO The Sunns are darker and cleaner than the Marshalls which makes them ideal for bass amplification….I’m excited to feature this amp with the bass in the upcoming session since it will shine through even more since the band has no guitar competing with the bass (which is also one of my favorite parts of the bands unique sound). this amp is sounding better than ever as it was just recapped and brushed up beautifully by .amps thanks Dan!…I will run it through the cabinet and mic it but also take a direct signal using the Passive Jensen transformer Radial DI shown in front

Next up in the gear series and guitar/bass chain is the pedal board. Here are some of the pedals we avail to clients….They serve a dual purpose in the studio when utilized with the Reamp DI Box you see in the lower left the pedals pedals can be used in the mixing process and added as an effect after recording to any track….this can lead to thicker or more distorted guitars when used subtly or open up a whole world of experimentation when applying effects to places you may not typically hear them like drums or even vocals….this is a mixing technique Joe Baressi (Tool, NIN, The Melvins, Bad Religion, Weezer) uses often and you can see him talk about it here https://youtu.be/kjSn8C00DP4

First in series of gear posts I’ll start with our chain for recording guitar or bass which begins with this Reddi tube DI——this DI is active and captures the clean signal of the guitar or bass beautifully with seemingly limitless headroom and adding velvety smooth tube feel to the signal… it’s as if the guitar or bass was sent through a tube without adding any noise that an amp would b/c well that’s what it is…even if the signal is later distorted or effected I always keep this clean version of the track to mix it in parallel with the distorted one to preserve the initial attack and oomf of the note. Oh yea and it has the tube effect of adding fatness or saturation without needing any compression that distorts the signal. It’s one of my favorite pieces of gear at Up North Studios…please like if you want to see more gear posts from Up North Studios…coming up next in the guitar/bass chain is our pedalboard collection
