Here are some clips I recorded today. I've been wanting a way to get recordings into the computer and bought an alesis multimix usb yesterday so I recorded some stuff, here it is.
There are 2 amps here, one of them is my route66, the other is the homebrew I built. The route66 clips are all the clips that have a 2 on the name. The cabinets they're being played through are different too, although they sound similar enough I'm not sure it matters. The riff that isn't labeled 'noodle' is just something I played to compare the amps. The one marked noodle was inspired by one of the sound clips on the maz 18 jr page, I thought it sounded and tried to emulate it a bit. The guitar for most of the clips is a strat although I use an es335 copy for a couple of them. It's the only thing I have with humbuckers in it right now.
This is straight into the amp, no effects. I might have had a touch of reverb on the board. Close mic'ed with a sm57.

These have the black finger compressor turned on with a bit of level boost and oodles of reverb from a ehx holy grail. The guitar is a mexican strat with tonerider pickups in it and a callaham block on the trem. GHS burnished nickel strings (11s). Bone nut. I think that's all the mods that have been done to it.

I apologize for the guitar playing, I'm just a noodler. I was sort of making it up as I go along which works fine by yourself but sometimes there are awkward pauses in there. I think I suffer from 'recording fright' because I have no problem playing this stuff smoothly when I'm not recording.
The homebrew amp is not a copy of anything the doc makes although it does use an EF86 front end. The power section is a 6L6GC single ended, all hammond iron. The rectifier is a 6X4. One control, volume.
