I'm not sure about it. Of course he claims there was no od pedal in front. They all do :roll: Live he did have that kind of huge low end ,less tight sound, but airy like really pushing speakers hard and an od pedal would eliminate that. Who knows for sure but him and his tech. I did some...

I totally appreciate your honesty. I agree with you also. I think I need to go back to a Dual. I had a 3 channel in the past and I loved it. I think I'm trying to get something that's just not going to happen. I really want to try an older 2 channel Dual so I'm going to start my search. Luckily...

I also wanted to note that when I engage my Empress Superdelay, even with the mix all the way down, it cleans my tone up and takes out some of the harsh highs and woofy lows. Can anybody explain why it would do this?

The Boss totally thinned out my tone. Def not the way to go for me. I think I may have an issue with my amp. It sounds kind of bright or something. It just doesn't sound right. I have a ton of low end and high end (neither sounds like the right low or high end) but it almost sounds separated...

I'm gonna try dropping the gain and using the SD-1 out of curiosity. I'm using it for something else so it won't be permanent but I wanna hear what it sounds like. I'd also have to kick that pedal off and hit my channel select every time I went to my clean tone. Might be a pain. The PP2+ made...

What cable and plugs did you use for your pedalboard? I'm getting Mogami 2524 with Swithcraft 280's and 228's. The buffer and Pedal Power 2+ totally saved my tone and my pedals are silent and work great. 2 things I'd advise anyone to get.

I couldn't agree more. I'm pretty happy with how I have it now. I'll never get a triple tone out of a single but I'm as close as I'm gonna get.

Yes, all of that does come into play. I've spent hours if not days researching stuff like cables. I saw 311 this past summer twice and heard the tone straight out of the cabs from about 20 feet away standing right in front of them before the band started playing. The tone was unreal. Nobody has...

BTW, I got a JHS Little Black Buffer for Gearmas from my wife. It did wonders to my tone. I have a decent size pedalboard that was sucking my tone like mad. The buffer totally restored my tone. Next up is my Loop-Master true bypass strip I have ordered then I get to spend hours on cables. Mogami...

I now have my amp dialed somewhere between what cheamup suggested and what I had and I'm as close as I'm gonna get. IMHO, it's sounds pretty awesome! Thanks for the help. I'm in an apartment with cool neighbors but can only crank it a little. I also worked a little on pickup height and that def...

Just saw the part about the tung sol. I'm going to pick one up. I have $200 credit at my music store. I'll be needing new power tubes soon anyways. Thanks for the help.

If you go to 3:00 there is a good example. How does he get that low end saturation without woofiness or harshness. http://youtu.be/tmYJweHKx5E

Oh, I've got a ton of saturation at 4 o'clock :D I'm just shy of getting the tone though. If I drop the bass I lose the percussive sound and feel which is really important to this tone. What would you recommend trying? I think I may take my amp to to get looked at b/c these are drastic settings...

Thanks everyone. I've seen that rig rundown vid. Too bad he doesn't tell how he sets his amps( although he has Diamonds now). I saw them twice this past summer and was directly in front of Tim's rig. He has such air pushing low end and saturation. Even when the guitar is playing alone he has...

I dropped my pickups down a bit yesterday and am getting closer. I've got them set at around 4/32. Does that seem too low? Will that effect the pickup output or tone too much? I also dropped the bass to 2:30 but anymore and I lose that percussive sound. So am I getting no response b/c nobody...

Hey all, I need some help dialing in a Tim Mahoney from 311 tone. I have a Single Rectifier series 2 into a Stiletto cab with a PRS SE Custom 22 with a JB in the bridge and an Alnico II in the neck. I can get close but am missing something. That really low end air pushing sound is what I'm...

No mention of early 311? Tim Mahoney did not have the typical Recto sound but I think it's prob one of the best. It's so fat and sounds like air pushing super hard.

I was looking at another post where someone was asking how to get their dual more Marshall sounding. It got me thinking about how my amp is sounding right now and I must say, it sounds very Marshall like. Especially running with el34's through my old Marshall cab. I wish I was going for a...

Wanna trade amps? lol I have a thread about my amp not sounding right. I have a solo 50 that sounds like a Marshall right now. It's going to the shop next week to get fixed. I am running an old 1975 Marshall with original cremebacks and this thing sounds great for a Marshall but it's a Mesa and...

Yup, brand new cables too. Planet Waves Custom Pro cables. I'll have to get it in the shop to see what's going on. 3 weeks without my amp is gonna suck. Luckily I play bass too :)
