So last night I'm at rehearsal and this new band moves in to another room a few doors down the hall. I'm walking by there room and... {{****! Nasty guitar tone behind that door!}} So of course I gotta check them it out. Well...to my shock this guy has almost the same rig as I.
Here's mine:
2:90
Triaxis (All JJ's) Serial #4400's
BBE 482
Line 6 POD pro xt (FX ONLY)
2 marshall 4x12 with v30's & GT 75 X pattern
ESP standard II Eclip EMG 85 bridge 81 neck
His:
VHT 2-50-2
Triaxis (Stock mesa tubes since he bought it used 3 years ago!) Serial #3900's
BBE 482i
Line 6 Pod XT live (FX Only as well)
2 2x12 THD cabs
Assorted Jackson, Ibenez
His rig blew mine away! WHY???? :evil:
His sounded much more full with a huge fluid like drive on LD2 with a longer sustain. We're talking Nigel sustain. I copied his setting for Ld2 red put them on my rig. Nope. Not the same. He claims I'm hearing the tubes or the VHT. No F'n way. I've been down that road a million times. VHT makes a fine power amp but I know thats not what I'm hearing. It's not the FXs. I by-passed that stuff right away. BBE? same settings 12 o'clock all. Not the room. There the same size. etc... I plugged my guitar into his and it sounded even better. WTF? My next move is to ask if I can plug his cabs in my rig. He's gonna think I'm a freak. But I am. That has to be it right? But the sustain??? Na can't be. Weird. Anyways does anyone have some audio clips of a NO Phat mode Ld2 red settings on here? Maybe there's something wrong with mine. I just need to here someone else's rig before I loose my mind.
Funny thing too I have to add. He thinks my rigs sounds much better. Go figure.
