I was just thinking about building a preset for this yesterday. Unfortunately, my JEM is out of commission until I receive a new output jack from Madhatter. Steve used a few different amps at once when he tracked this and blended them in the mixing stages. While there’s a lot of volume knob manipulation, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that when he’s cutting back to the clean sound, you’re hearing more Twin than Ecstasy. Regardless, I’m anxious to dig into this one.
Useless trivia, my buddy John owns the actual Ecstasy head that Steve used to record ALS with. I believe it’s a 100B. When he got it, there was a list of songs it was used on written by Steve, I’m assuming as a reference point during mixing. My buddy will never sell it, but he‘s at least willing to let me play through it anytime I go out to California!
