Best Recorded rep. of Mark III

[fpoon]

Ha, thank you to whoever posted these! I never heard this band. They are like the second Metallica with a little bit of Pantera. I got to start listening to these guys. Definately has the Justice/Black Album sound.

A band called Into Another has an album called Ignaurus w/ possibly the best tone I've ever heard. From all accounts I've heard, it's a Mark III.

found a clip.

click on the track called 'drowning.'

I'm not sure how well this represents the Mark III (having never played one), but I love the tone on this clip. I got it off of either Harmony-Central or Rig-Talk's amp forum (killer tune):

Very nice, do you know what kind of settings this dude uses

Are you guys telling me that I can get a similar sound as those Heathen clips with a Mark III? :shock: :shock:

 

[Matterra]

And here I am thinking that ...And Justice For All was my favorite Mark III tone...

 

[Skyless7620]

What else did Heathen use that complemented the Mark III's to get such tone?

The guy's name is Phil Belanger. You're in luck, I found the thread on Harmony-Central's amp forum where I got the clip from and he posted the settings. Here they are:


Lead channel

Volume 8
Treble 8 (Pulled)
Bass 2
Middle 4 (Pulled)
Master a touch above 1
Lead Drive 6 (Pulled)
Lead Master 5 (Pulled)
Presence 0

Eq: In a V pattern except the bass sliders are almost to the top while the high frequency sliders (2200 and 6600) barely goes above the halfway point. The 750 slider is above the lower mark. The EQ is hard to describe precisely.



Here's the HCAF thread (he goes into detail how the track was recorded):

Thanks man,been looking for settings for that tone,and I might add that I think the Mark III could be the pinnacle of metal amps.

The guitars on Exodus' Pleasures of the Flesh album were recorded using a Mark III. Gary was not a big fan of it, though, due to difficulty dialing in and keeping a good tone. To be honest, the tone on that album is my least favorite of theirs, though it's certainly not terrible. Fabulous Disaster, which was done on a modded JCM800, would be my favorite. Nonetheless, I love my Mark III! It's just one of those amps that you really need to spend time with and learn.

I totally agree with u. My least favorite tone... Heathen's "Deception.." though is outta this world....
