It looks like the old Chess studios. That's Willie Dixon playing bass. Steve King |

Definitely an EV 666.
They sound great on some voices. An old radio and tv standby.

??, I know who it is, there are many muddy water cuts that dont sound
like this. Im generally impressed by the chess mid 60's sound (the kenny burell stuff is outstanding!) just curious as to any info I can get on what they used to capture the sound of muddy waters playing. thanks "Ricky W.

If so, the mike on the cover was a 666, which was sort of the mike you used when you didn't have the money for anything really good, but had more than the 664. It was a nice little dynamic. It's still a handy mike to have around since it's a dynamic without a big presence peak. anyone know specifically was used to get the sound of this beautiful album. i figure a few ribbon mics and some tube pres...? I always remembered the Chess stuff in that era as sounding pretty crude. A lot of their early stuff seemed to have been done on non-feedback cutters, even. If it sounds good, it's probably mostly because Muddy Waters was so good in the first place. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

A friend of mine was doing some research for a book he was writing on
Little Walter, and during an interview with Malcolm Chisholm(who was a poster to this newgroup till the idiots ran him off and he has since passed on) one of the Chess engineers. Malcolm told him that his first job at Universal Studios was to make direct boxes using large UTC transformers which they would alligator clip to the speaker leads. Apparently they DI'd all the guitars and harmonicas. The ambience from the amps would also be picked up in the vocal mic's and drum mics somewhat leaving a very clean but natural sound. Most of the better sounding Chess records stuff was actually recorded at Universal, not Chess, it took the Chess studio's quite a bit of time to get it together and get a decent sound. BTW-Muddy would have sounded like that through any mic, he had that sound even when I would just be talking to him. Twist Turner http://tinyurl.com/ul70 |

The graphic shows the "Original Master Recordings" remaster of the disc, from the original tapes. Beat the pants off the original Chess pressings. Peace, Paul |
