An update. In the video I'm currently using input A. It turns out this input is slightly noisy for some reason. Input B is much quieter and the readings are steady. The only difference between the inputs are two relays. I replaced the input A relay but it was still noisy so no big deal as B is fine. Now the THD reads as low as 0.0008% with the internal generator and the A weighting filter. Looks like everything is still in calibration. The only other minor issue is when reading voltages the auto range circuit picks an incorrect range. Switching to reading THD and then back to voltage solves the problem.
Hello, thanks for posting this video. Can you post a more in depth video using the Amber. Going through setup and connecting an amp to the unit. These Ambers are said to be the best, I would like to see why. All the best to you
Sure I can show how to connect an amplifier but the numbers won’t mean much until I do a proper test and calibration. The THD numbers in the video are from the internal generator and should read half of what it currently does. A friend of mine has a lab so it will happen soon.
The Amber beat both the Tektronix and HP analyzers of the era, a Google search might provide info but I'm unable to find it. I have the original manual if anyone wants snippets from it but it's in something like a 3" binder so there's no way I can upload the entire thing.
@@7c3c72602f7054696b I have the 3501 model and I don’t know how to read the measurements. I can null out the wave form, I don’t understand how to read the nulled setting and calculate the THD. I have a Keithley THD 2015 meter that I use to take measurements because I can’t understand the Amber. I have the manual (pdf) from online, I’ve read it through but can’t figure out how to calculate the reading into THD. That’s why I was hoping you could give an example.
00:24 - It's annoying AF when that drummer rushes the crash hit after every fill that leads into the verses...not like on the record and not like when Jimmy was drumming. Just isn't the same and throws off the whole band. Slopped up the feel and dynamics of the song.
Walker is very good under every aspect but didn't write that battery score. Check for the original track or any other live version around, Chamberlin watermark is undeniable... Great song, one of my favs overall.
I was fortunate to see Jimmy as part of the band play live twice before things went to shit with Melvoin's death in '96. Matt is okay but there's nothing like Jimmy play live, especially the magic he made as part of the Pumpkins. He is a legendary beast of a drummer.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch(before she turned into a lame Lifetime Movie person...) Smashing Pumpkins Late Night Conan O'Brien Gah....really miss the 90s sometimes. Especially now in March 2020....to say the least...
I wonder what song did the sound booth people play after Billy cracked the guitar over his annoying adversary's head ? (It could not be "Bullet with Butterfly Wings.." - that 'rat in a cage' song)
I think this is the same clip where Billy gets hit in the head by a phone afterwards while Billy was choking out Sandman(?) with a kendo, and sells it super hard.

To all the musicians, jimmy chamberlains drumming is insane! Guys, just replay this and listen to and watch the drummer. I’m a guitar player and singer, but holy crap this drummer was awesome. Dude was an absolute beast.
