I was telling my son how the new album was mixed really poorly and he wasn't quite grasping what I was telling him. So I thought I would show him by recording my version of the tune. In addition, an individual from another music forum sent me the midi drum pattern and asked me to a clip with my Mark IV. It isn't my favorite from the album but I was doing this for demo purposes only.
I spent about 5 minutes learning it and started recording. I only did the first couple of minutes of the tune. Unfortunately, I had to record at super low volumes so I lowered the gain and drive on the amp (6 on each dial) and added a clean boost to the rhythm guitars. The Mark IV has more than enough gain on its own but thought I would hit the signal path with my Maxon OD-9 (no drive and level all the way up).
How do you think it turned out? I may be in the minority but I like my guitar tone better than the original. Personally I think it sounds much better without the boost and cranked a bit but it was the best I could do so late with 4 kids and a wife sleeping. If I get enough interest I will redo the clip tomorrow with a cranked rhythm tone that is all Mark IV.
