Hey everyone,
Thanks to coco, I got to take the TC-15 prototype for a drive. I have recorded a few clips, which I'll get to, but first the rig.
I plugged the head into a Traynor Bass cab with a single 8ohm 15 speaker (Don't know what it is, but its vintage 1970's). Not sure how many of you would do that so I won't go into detail on the sonic properties of the speaker and cab. Recordings were made with coco's attenuator to keep the family from complaining.
No effects used, natch! Guitars - Mid 80's Korean Squire Strat with Fender Lace Sensor pickups, Blue in the neck and middle positions and a Silver in the bridge position. I did the cleaner stuff with that on the Treble Bass channel, with some dirty stuff on the One track by switching the guitar cable(hence the pause).
Amp settings - In O'Clock (No markings on faceplate yet)
Code:
Master | Channel 1 | Channel 2 (EF-86)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vol | Cut | Treble | Bass | Vol | Toggle switch | Contour | Vol
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 | 12 | 5 | 2 | 9 | Down | 12 | 5
Please be aware that I will never be mistaken for James Hetfield or any pro guitar player, so there's plenty of flubs...just so you know before you click.Both tracks with the strat:

Only thing to say about he Explorer is I use Ultra heavy 12 - 54 Strings because I usually have it tuned down to B for the KoRn, Disturbed, etc, type stuff.
This clip is Metallica and Slayer tuned down:

I hope to try some and record some more sounds, maybe even without the attenuator this coming weekend! Just got to get the wife and kids out of the house for a while.
Thanks to coco for the opportunity to try this amp!
John.
