Schecter Banshee Elite, great tone & playability for the money, so good for a production guitar, weighs 9 lbs 8 oz though.

Sii-7, heavy SOB weighs 9 lbs 11 oz. All maple, awesome growl.

Sii-7, lighter & brighter, maple with mahogany wings.

KxK Sii-7, mahogany. My main axe

RGD2127Z, previous owner rattle canned it so I stripped the finish and used a propane torch to do Shou Sugi Ban. 85 in the bridge equalized it’s bright ass tone.

VHT 2/90/2. Balls, yes, haha. I play a few Synergy modules regularly, they’re fun when I want more dynamics & raw tone but nothin cuts through the live mix like the Axe.

I had the FM3 and still have the Standard. I’ve never been able to create a modeler into FRFR tone that I liked in the room. Could be user error but I’ve tried for hours & hours. My main rig is Axe into tube power amp and real 4x12. The Axe is virtually noise free, all analog preamps...

Hell Razor & Stealth ftw

Lots of front vs rear loaded discussion in this thread https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/threads/are-there-any-differences-feel-tonewise-between-front-loaded-4x12s-and-rear-loaded-4x12s.289506/

The Fatbottom was tighter for sure.

Fatbottom 4x12 was not resonant enough for me which comes across as lacking oomph in the lows/low mids. Very directional. Tight & clear. The P50e’s could get the job done but are far from my fav speakers. All front loaded cabs have an in your face sound compared to rear loader which are more...

Multiple drum mics and recording 2 channels from the mixer, that’s too much work considering you can’t adjust the individual levels afterwards. I’d rather just use 1 condenser mic, either place it where you get the whole band or get just the drums and add in guitars later. If you want to just...

So the 808 Screamer came in the mail today from @griff10672, TL;DR, fuck yeah. So my dumb ass spent the first minute thinking, wtf, this thing sounds weird as hell, then I realized the knob layout is the reverse of OD808/TS9. The Screamer 808 is exactly what I was looking for, it's a TS style...

Hmm. I guess a V30 might sound tighter 'cause it has less lows but it also breaks up earlier than a Redback so I've always thought of Redbacks as tighter. Smaller magnet speakers usually sound looser to me, same with lower wattage. I've never thought of Redbacks a being on the loose side, but...

Sounds a lot like TAPP, amirite? And I def hear the Fryette similarity, too.

Get ahold of MarshallJMP and put the MDRT transformer in it, big improvement, I A/B'd an MDRT MP1 and one with the stock trasformer, the MDRT sounded 3D while stock sounded 2D, I don't know how else to describe it. https://www.marshalljmpmodshop.net/miscellaneous_parts_and_replacement_tubes.htm...

Do the low volume cymbals sound alright recorded?

I’ll be another one to say basement and room inside a room. I’ve got a practice space in my basement, neighbors house is about 13 feet from mine and they can’t hear it (drums, bass, guitar). Although we never played past 8 PM just to be safe. My basement is 4 or 5 feet below grade, we framed in...

I’ve thought about this and it would be rock-paper-scissors for sure. Hopefully we clone my wife or she’ll really have her work cut out for her lol

Love my OD808 & TS9 but I don’t love the noise. Amps that sound boosted all on their own seem quieter. So what are some quieter TS style boosts? Interwebz has me curious about SD 805 and Xotic AC, but that’s just based on a couple comments.
