rocketman Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 OK, due to "popular" demand I rerecorded some more tracks. I recorded both my '08 Les Paul Standard Premium Plus (chambered) and '05 Les Paul Standard (weight relieved) using the same amp settings. Note that both have BB Pros for pups. This time I didn't use any effects. There are two clean runs and one dirty one; each one repeated with the other guitar. is the link. So, which one is the chambered one?

phil325 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 i like the 2nd one better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynadude Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just an observation really. The first guitar has a fuller bottom end tone, the second a crisper high mid. Don't know how that would apply to chambered or not, so I can't really tell which is which, but I will say that the first one is chambered.

ChanMan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 1st clean riff #1 is chambered. 2nd clean riff and dirty riff #2 is chambered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Let's liven things up here. I'm gonna say #1 is weight-relieved because it sounds more like a real Les Paul than #2 does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 1st clean riff #1 is chambered. 2nd clean riff and dirty riff #2 is chambered Oops, sorry for the confusion. I didn't change the order of the guitars in the 3 riffs that sound the same. There are a total of 6 riffs (2 sets of repeated ones). The choices are, in the straight order of the riffs, (counting the repeated ones as a riff): Riff #1, Riff #3, Riff #5 - > All Chambered or All Weight Relieved Riff #2, Riff #4, Riff #6 - > All Chambered or All Weight Relieved Another way to state this is riff #1 had Guitar A and riff #2 (which sounds the same as #1) had Guitar B; riff #3 had Guitar A and riff #4 (which sounds the same as #3) had Guitar B; finally riff #5 had Guitar A and riff #6 (which sounds the same as #5) had Guitar B. Sorry, I had my rocket scientist geek hat and we think in weird ways. So is Guitar A or B the chambered one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossroadsnyc Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'd have to go with number two being chambered. It sounded much more crisp and "hollow" compared the the first one. I like the richness and warmth of the first one much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80LPC Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Number 2 sounds slightly louder to me. Is there a slight difference in pickup height ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
