Memphis May Fire Tesseract Polaris Vildhjarta To me “Modern Metal” means bands heavily influenced by Meshuggah and then taking that somewhere new. Almost always using 7/8 strings and/or down-tuned, strong emphasis on interesting rhythm parts, not necessarily soloing. Often Metalcore style...

I’ve got a mahogany guitar with a ceramic warpig. It was a stupid thing to do, super dark guitar with a dark pickup - I have to dime the hell out of the treble to compensate. The pickup does sound good though, really high output and punchy. Would’ve been smarter in a brighter guitar, I...

That's fucking awesome, love this.

Nice dude! It sounds awesome, great riffs and great tone. Which drum software are you using? Similar story for me actually, I just got EZDrummer3 running last night due to Black Friday sales and it lived up to its name. Working on a new song and I already have the drums completely programmed...

Thanks! One more beginner question, are the bias ranges dependent on the tube type, or the unique amp circuit?

Since we are in the subject, do you have a reference on how to actually adjust the bias? I don’t have experience with electrical circuits, but my understanding is this is one of those things you can learn to do without 10,000 hours of engineering experience. Expecting to take delivery of my UU...

This is a Wizard blended with a Herbert, felt pretty comfy to play.

That Wizard character does make them harder to play, but I kind of like that. It forces me to really practice and focus on my right hand and then it does make clean picking sound better. For sure I’ll sound like dogshit on the Wizard when I slack off on practice. When I switched from a strat to...

That does sound really good. Love that either channel is usable for a great metal tone. Is this one a keeper for you?

Thanks man, I should’ve just asked on here first

Ah gotcha. Yeah, if there’s any out there that’s news to me too. I wish Rick would get somebody to demo his amps and include clips on the site, but that will absolutely never happen. Dude knows he can put 0% effort into marketing and be fine. After I bought my hybrid I emailed him to ask what...

Matt has a comparison video.

Just ordered the KT88 UU from Sweetwater. One thing I’ve heard from multiple reviewers is that this amp is tricky to dial in. Good to know that going into it and setting expectations.

Yeah I think you're right about the kt88s, seems like most folks who have been able to compare Wizards prefer a higher powered kt88 variant. Makes sense, a beefier power section is only going to do good things for an amp known for its punch and clarity. When I was ordering my Hybrid I was...

That's awesome, I'll check it out. Which Wizard are you pairing it with? I still love my MTL/MCII Hybrid, but damn this HR talk is GASing me up. That price is nuts though, I could make the UU work but the HR would be tough.
