Electra-Dyne Clip (Metallica)

[primal]

Thought I would record the ED playing some Metallica.

No Pedals, no boost, no EQ, no Reverb, none added in the mix, just dry. Just my Highway 1 plugged straight in to my combo at Bedroom volume (Daughter sleeping 2 doors down) with an SM57 on the grill.

Now, first off, this amp IMO was mainly geared towards hard rock. I just wanted to do this clip just to show that it can do the heavy stuff. But I will admit, if I'm out playing Metallica, I would use the Mark IV first.

Toon tracks drums and 4Front bass VST using reaper

And excuse the sloppy play. This song wears me the hell out!

I like it. Very cool. Great tone.

Great tone! I have to say when I was demoing the amp at first, I was surprised to be able to pull off these kinds of Metallica tones with just a flick of the treble knob after playing in creamy british lead land for a while.

sounds great! do some more

Thanks

Yeah I definately have the treble jacked up (4:00).

I might try and mess with it a bit more with regard to settings and mic placement, and maybe turn the volume up some. I had the Gain on my audio buddy mic preamp way up so that it would record as I wanted to keep the volume low to not wake my daughter. This was also the first time I had miced this amp, and I just basically put the mic out front and never tried adjusting.

Wonder how it would sound if I threw my EQ in the loop and V'd it.

Probably amazing.
I own a Mark V but I'm really wanting to increase my Mesa collection to include the Electradyne.

That clip almost makes me spend money, great tone

Thats a great demo. I was wondering how metal the Electra-Dyne would go and the cleans sound great too

Andyman :lol:

Great, thanks, now I need to get one of these amps too!

 

[Thazy]

Very nice indeed!!!

Uh Oh. GASing.....

Uh Oh. GASing.....

If it helps that clips was also without a boost. I'm sure if the gain wasn't pegged, it was close.

The ED has cured my amp GAS. Now I am GASing for an American Standard Strat. This amp loves single coils!

 

[skunizzi]

That clip was so sloppy!

Just kidding. The clip was great. Nice playing and nice tone!

Keep them coming!

WoW - thanks for the clip. I'm new to the forum and currently researching a new amp. Looks like the ED is top of the list after listening to that clip.

Thanks
