Default My 1935 Gibson through Tonedexter.

I did a short recording of my 1935 Gibson Black Special L50 through Tonedexter, used my Neumann KM184 mic and the Character setting is on about 1/4 (from left).

The pickup is a Shatten bridge pickup for archtops (piezo inside an ebony removable bridge).

I am going to play this guitar much more now!

I'm really liking the sound you're getting here. Two questions:
1. Specific model of the Schatten bridge pickup? It's passive, right?
2. You say about 1/4 from left on the Character knob. You're using V1.30 code? That would be in blend territory, perhaps 50% ish? Please clarify.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, Schatten don't make the pickup anymore, don't know why. It is great - loosen strings, take old floating bridge out, put in case, place Schatten! (I had mine semi-installed with an endpin, but you could just hang the lead loose.)

Character knob on 1/4 in V1.30 (about 50% blend).

And it is even better in the flesh, thanks James! (I used to run it through my Aura, but there was no image like it at all, so I used a dread image. - This is perfect!). Oh, all eq was run flat on A&H mixer> iMac.
