So, I sold my Mesa/Boogies...

[Nitrobattery]

...and bought an ENGL Savage 120. Hands down the best sounding amp I've ever played through.

Cool. 8)

ENGL's are way too tight for my tastes, but I can see why people like them.

 

[MetalMatt]

Wicked! Yea I was going to go ENGL. I will eventually pick one up. I love the big chrome bars!

 

[MetalMatt]

Oh BTW, if you wouldn't mind post some clips of that beast!

 

[Russ]

I heard those can sound pretty brutal. If I were so inclined I would do the same thing. I am pretty happy with my amps right now though. I could see an engl down the road though but I think I will wait until prices fall some more an just buy outright...

 

[Guitarzan]

good score!

 

[Nitrobattery]

i've been having some problems with my computer when i record...i'm getting a lot of extra noise for some reason. so, here's just a short two track clip of the ENGL.

Nice & tight tone you got going on! Great guitar part aswell 8)

 

[Nitrobattery]

thanks man. here's another one i just recorded. i did this at 4 in morning so i had it turned down pretty low, but i was able to get a pretty recto-ish tone like the original recording. it's almost scary how many different sounds you can get out of this thing.

I can see why you went for a tighter amp. The Recto sag would've killed that second riff IMO.

 

[straitouttahell]

Cool riffs man. Especially the second one, literally blew me away. 8)

Nice tones too.
I'd like to hear them in a *real* mix, with drums and bass. The perception of a guitar tone may vary alot when playing with a band rather than when you hear them alone.

Great work anyway!

 

[MetalMatt]

Awesome stuff! Thanks for the clips! I like the second one also.

Cool. 8)

I can see why you went for a tighter amp. The Recto sag would've killed that second riff IMO.

I agree!

That is a killer sounding amp you got there. Nice chops too! 8)

 

[Ken]

Nice tone, is that all amp distortion?

 

[Nitrobattery]

yep, that's just my guitar straight into the head.

 

[Elpelotero]

your clips always amaze me man. you seriously have an ability that needs to be heard...i followed your myspace band thing a lil..saw you broke up. the songs were OK. i saw lots of potential for future songs more than anything....keep it up.

 

[Nitrobattery]

thanks man, that means a lot. i was never crazy about my old band, but things started to take off so i stuck with it. the songs flat out sucked though

 

[Elpelotero]

lol you said it not I...i was more "polite" about it. but seriously tho the guitar parts were good. some of the vocal melodies were questionable IMO tho, now that were being a little honest.

 

[Nitrobattery]

haha, it doesn't hurt my feelings any man. i'd walk into practice with the music written for a song, and then it always got ripped apart and dumbed down. a song that had 11 different parts ended up having 4. it drove me nuts.

 

[screamingdaisy]

I've heard various Nitro clip over the years and have always been impressed....not just by the playing, but by the creative musicality of the riffs. You have a gift dude, you just need to find some guys that'll share a common vision with you.

 

[Nitrobattery]

thanks man, that means a lot
