Same here. I think the vented and non-vented '86 are two different tones, but both perfectly useable...
Slightly prefer the vented in the mix, although it's close to being a toss-up and the non-vented solo'd.
The 2013 however.... Ooff. :cautious: Almost reminded me of late 90's Boss' COSM...
While I don't disagree on Holdsworth and Poland, I'm calling bullshit on your sweeping statement.
Plenty of guys that were mentioned here could play a few notes and you could easily identify them purely based on phrasing.
If a guy like Akira Takasaki is not unique enough, name one guy that...
Purely based on AJFA I would go with the non-vented ones, because the album tone is hardly middy and the vented ones will have richer/thicker mids, more akin to the G12-65s, so those would probably yield too much mids in combination with a Mesa Mark, even if you're scooping the hell out of it.
I saw Motörhead in '98 as well, even nabbed the setlist from the stage afterwards!
It's one of the 3 defining moments that gave me some form of tinnitus.
It was soooo loud, afterwards I didn't even hear the high pitched ring you usually hear after a loud show, but it sounded like a gas-leakish...
While I don't disagree with this assessment, please let it be clear that when you're talking about non-vented early ones (with the serifed font label), they are no where near as scooped or even fizzy as the later ones were.
Source: I got both. :cool:
But yeah, the vented ones are pretty close...
I owned the BE-OD Deluxe for a while and built a clone (Thermionic Deluxe) with a slightly tweaked mid range.
It's response is quite amp-dependant, but IMO it's one of the best 9V powered (non tube) stand alone drive pedals that really sounds amp-like.
I lowered the internal gain trim pots for...
Lemme be Switzerland between you guys. :giggle:
I'm with @GuitarGuy08 that I'm not interested in having to add a dedicated tuner pedal to hog up pedalboard real estate as well as the possibility to tone suck. Looking at you, Boss TU-2. :cautious:
I usually don't gig with 'pre-amp' pedals...
Agreed. Only Dime, Gary Holt and Anthrax get a pass for that.
I remember discussing this with my own (cover)band, when we played some shows together with international touring acts...When everyone was back stage and these guys would walk out through the venue, just by looking at them, you'd...
Curious to know if you ever tried the Boss OD-3 (and if you compared it to the OD1X)?
I've always liked the OD-3 for 3 reasons:
1) from those older Boss pedals it had the most natural stand-alone light overdrive.
2) it had more volume on tap than an SD-1 for instance, which made it very useable...
Crap, I meant 'Eliminator' instead of that overly synthy 80's "Afterburner" and I forgot "Among the Living" as essential under Anthrax. Oopsie.:rolleyes:
While simultaneously posting Rockstah modded overly gained clips that sound not as close, but to him sound more true to EVH...??
One can only hope Dave Friedman shoots him down a few times more. ?
