In this video I show how to simulate "tube sag" - the natural compression effect caused by cranking a tube amp so loud it overloads the power supply - by using a compressor in the effects loop of any amp.
Equipment Chain:
- Guitar (Duncan JB bridge pickup)
- Muku Looper
- Mesa Mark V (crunch channel)
- Behringer CL9 Compressor/Limiter
- Mesa Mark V (power amp)
- Mesa Recto Standard Slant Cab (Celestion Vintage 30s)
- Shure SM57
- Zoom H4n Pro
