New LARA completely re-done

[castor]

Hi To everyone,

after changing many times values and pre configuration, even making a mk like pre - I love recent knopfler's sounds (thanks to Mr. Abbot for his messages and suggests).. I was shocked by the fantastic tone of one of the latest Glen's files.. so I decided to come back to original express values and try to have a similar sweet sound.
Thanks to Allyn that sent me a complete set of old mallory PVC OD caps (orange ones).
Now sound is fantastic...
tubes: 3 x 12AX7 E.I. - 2 x EL34 Svetlana winged C.
power caps: ATOM SPRAGUE
bias settled to 47.8 mA (the 2nd tube is 36 mA)
The extra switch is the gradual/fast switch.
Output trans is one of the latest NIK's ones
I can Use it at very bedroom level through my modded dr.Z powerbrake.
The amp cleans up in a fantastic way..

As of now I can post only pics... in the next week I'll receive an used Roland VS-2480 so i'll be able to post some decent clips...

just a small clip.. nothing good.. waiting for a good record machine.. a test of my mac audio
mik AKG 3000b at 1,5 meters from the cab at 0.20 m from the floor
marshall 2x12 1922
amp volume at 2 - others to 12
bright pos. 1
guitar: pensa mk2 les paul scale- all mahogany- only 1 pk, bridge, fralyn paf
fingerpicking (no pic) and difference is given by diff in vol guitar and pick pressure
no effects added- no post equ or din - just recorded as is directly to my mac
volume: very bedroom level with modded dr z airbrake. my voice seems far because i'm out of mic axes and far 3-4 meters.. so at this level and at this distance from the amp no feedback can be obtained

new good records in 10 days
