Over on the harmony-central amp forums we have a contest going for the heaviest sounding guitar amp. Here's my entry, let me know what you think!

[Guitar Adjuster]

That sounds great, full and thick. MKIII?

 

[mrd]

Nice man, sounds pretty close to the original, too. It's a bit bass-heavy, though.

Did you win the comp.?

 

[afxwinter]

Yep it's a mark III. How'd ya know?

Haven't won the comp, people are still submitting entries.

 

[psychodave]

Sounds great!!

 

[Dror520]

Ya sounds great !!!

 

[A-5best]

Sounds good, maybe a touch more treble.

Really good playing though, nice and tight, no slop.

hi afx

ive seen your metallica clip on you tube - the tone is superb imo

sounds very close to the recorded sound on your clip - i may have a go at this myself

i use a few graphic eq stages in my rhythm sound but never a parametric

where do you apply it in the chain and what does it add to the basic mesa tone?

Might be your sig


The red stripe kill's man .

Bit of talent evident . heh .

Do you do wedding's?

The parametric EQ goes in my fx loop. What I use it for is to scoop out some mids and shelve out some 100hz frequency, and boost a bit of the highs.

 

[eeviac]

do you run anything in front of the amp?

its such a spot on sound for puppets - makes you wonder why they went to all the trouble they did to get that sound

i have a japanese GE7 - its sounds okay but its noisy - how does the rane compare to it?

thanks

 

[JPM90th]

That sounds awesome! Nice!

 

[afxwinter]

I don't run anything in front of the amp.
I like the sound of an amp without any effects on it, also a boost would be kind of pointless since my gain's not nearly dimed, was around 6 in this clip. I've got a US GE7 and while it's a good pedal, I also found it pretty noisy. The rane is a parametric eq, so your tonal options are a lot broader with it. You can surgically cut or boost whatever frequency you want.

 

[eeviac]

yeah i was looking into getting a rane but they are rare here in the UK

i also have a boss eq20 which is also okay but it has some weird AD/DA converter in it that you can sometimes make out in te ousnd if that makes sense

sounds alot warmer than the GE7 though but i prefer the GE7 for some reason

did you double track / post eq for the recording?

 

[IXIStreakIXI]

The tone is cool but I think it could use a tiny bit of 6600 up higher.

 

[Riven]

beauty! :twisted:

 

[Stonge]

what kind of mics were used? and what kind of cab if any?

I used a single Shure SM57 in one position. The cab is a Mesa/Boogie 1x12 Thiele. Speaker is an EVM12L

I'm actually working out with a guy on craigslist to buy his Recto 2x12 off him because I think it'll give me more to work with.
