Mesa’s Director of R&D, Doug West, dials in some great low and high gain Tones for Andy Timmons in Ch. 2 of the Triple Crown™ TC-100. Andy and Doug explore details like different settings of Treble and Presence controls for achieving different character and feel while Andy lays down some great playing across the full sweep of the Gain control, showing just how versatile Ch. 2 can be in the Triple Crown series.
Recorded with Andy’s signature Ibanez AT-100 with DiMarzio Cruiser neck and middle pickups and a Dimarzio AT-1 bridge pickup, through his pedalboard and into the Triple Crown TC-100 head and a 2×12 Rectifier Compact cab. Mic’d with a Shure KSM 313 and a Shure SM57 and blended 50% each.
