dafaq means soft midrange ? It is some sort of crystal lettuce ?
Modern means music/tone which is pissing off old farts grown on Hair Halen era. Rectifiers and 5150s, just ballsy guitar sound, maaan.
Great choices are LP Customs, Norlins, 90s Studios and 90s Classics. Slimmer necks, heavier bodies. Chambered or Modern weight relieves doesn't have tight enough bottom end. 498T or 500T.
I have few 25,5'' superstrats which sound more robust than average Gibson LP. US Charvels are good example...
Excellent analog chorus. On par with for example Jam Pedals waterfall or CE-2W. If it color Your tone...it is all right...it is chorus ?
On the other hand I had an issue when I bought it. It distort signal and chorus effect was very subtle. But it is precise copy on analogman so there is hint in...
Presence and treble on 10 and still not enough bright ? Unfortunately there is no EQ which can fix that and it is probably wrong amp for You. I had SB and it was rather darker amp but I cant imagine these settings. I used Friedman Boxom boost to tighten up. Something like Fortin Hex shoul add...
The Holy diver is excelent pickup for basswood Ibanezes.
I installed True Grit neck pickup in my Suhr Modern Antique yesterday instead of Suhr SSV, which is too singlecoil-ish and weak for my taste and I have to say wow. Very fluidy feel with great clarity, sounds more like neck pickup on 22...
I had Rebel Yell at the bridge of US Charvel Socal with maple fretboard. Nothing but amazing results, tight bottom, enough mids, clarity in the high . end. SH-4/JB is quite a mess with 500k volume pot, just too much of everything.
Here is the Charvel which I sold to my friend. The video is from...
one of the lightest cabs I ever pickup is DV Mark GH, 13,4 kg/29,5 pounds. There is something in mids with the neodymium speakers but easy to combine with something heavier in mids. Jensen Tornado Stealth 65 is fullest sounding neo from my experince.
I was intrested how the DV neoclassical...
Find the right SG is always struggle. They differ quite a lot in different eras. I had '77, Tarbacks, this was the great sounding one. But neck is not for everyone, very very narrow about 40.5mm ( 1 ¹⁹/₃₂, 1,59 inch). Harmonica bridge is also another thing which is hard to replace. Soundwise it...
I have no complaint about volume with Helios but it has very different swell than most amps. It is about 97dB at the half of the volume pot and it rise quite significantly about 2-3 o'clock, opposite of for example 2204 where it all happen 1-4 and the it became second gain knob :) This is apply...
Marshall BX sound like a joke beside something like Bogner or Friedman. The bottom end is very loose and flubby. BV will be better fit for JVM but not so much for Suhr. Handwired cabs are better compromise for both amp. But still I take Bogner or Friedman with V30/GB25 combo. Glued-in front...
Cheapest ones at SW are 3.299$ so no imports. There was an Rasmus (China built, US QC) attemp but failed on quality issues per Suhr. I had one and it doesn't sound but there was not close to real Suhr, feel like indonesian Ibanez.
Moderns are imho pinnacle of superstrats, perfect fit body...
I had original one and Mercury. Very stiff feeling and harsh sounding with none of the sponginess and bloom of mediocre tube amp. On the paper and from vids looks good but no miracles happened and overpriced for what it is. Friedman IR-X + Duncan 170 is much better if portability is important.
not great, not terrible :) I like the sound but they feel very stiff. Mrshall should make smaller 50 with options of DSL40CR.
Wizard story is intresting and I see will be hard to swallow for some but like Mustaine sings ...mids sells or whatever :)
most Diezels, esp. Hagen and VH4 and the most of the 3-4 channel multi machines no matter what brand...
EVH 50W, Marshall JVM, Jubilees , Engl Invader, JSX. Those amp has very flat and generic sounding midrange and I just hate to play them.
For the heavier styles 498T works better, '57 Classic are little bit mid-heavy an weak. I got 2013 SG yesterday and there is Angus Young pickup and it works great, more bite than '57 and more clarity than 498T. Also Burstbucker 2 work in SG, little bit more push than usual PAF pickup.
You should ask before order... lol.
Painkiller is suited for lower tuning because it doesn't have too much bottom end and treble are on the brighter spectrum. It is little cleaner but thinner sounding than SH-6. Also depends hot much bass has Your Eclipse. Buddy of mine has non FT one and it is...
