Was curious to see what this combo sounded like. I love the sound of the single note harmonies but I feel like it’s missing something in the Rhythm crunch tone. Thoughts?

Used PRS Custom 24 with 85/15 pickups

I love it! That sounded great ??

The tone rhythm tone sounded good to me...just sounds like you need to be more pissed off in your pick attack...hopefully that doesn't sound like I'm an asshole..just my opinion..

 

[Techdeth]

Pretty cool . Solid

Interesting. I’m hitting the strings pretty hard…passives are a different beast for sure. This guitar sounds so nice in the highs. Bell like almost ?

Sounds pretty good, maybe you're just missing the bass? Gotta get some of the good recording guys to chime in

Can’t imagine selling this amp. It’s so “metal” I wasn’t sure I could coax the more liquidy leadish tones out of it. I raised the 750hz slider up a bit and lowered the gain a smidge and it sounded amazing. Crystal clear bell like tone. #boner

Could use bass for sure! This is a new zone for me (passives). Been an EMG player forever

Well I gotta ask and if you did just remember. There are two amps I want still . 2c++ and a 1978 JMP 100 watt . So anytime I see those two I always ask

Nice! A bit too much bass for me though.

I’m sending my IIC+ for service and ++ mod this weekend!

Honestly it sounds almost exactly like a boosted Marshall 8200 to me; old school SS death metal tone

I kinda agree on the crunch part. More of a thwack than a full sounding chord. Love the single note sound though.

I didn't mean that as a knock - I love that type of tone!

I had an 8200 back in the day and foolishly ended up selling it

This was the only lil clip I recorded of it https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=9542142

I know. That’s not I tone I’m going for though.
