Nice sound! Your use of octaves reminds me of Morbid Angel and Nile. Nice and brutal.

Thanks for throwing this all together. I will say that Dave's self promotion got him the gig in VH to start with, so why would he stop? Having read a few books and lots of interviews over the years, he isn't wrong about a few things regarding their roots. Before he joined, they were more...

My old guitar player had one. It was really nice. Typical Mark sound. I would boost it with a TS, to tighten up the low end. Great pre amp though.

Manufacturers have to have innovations if they are going to stay in business. There is not an infinite market. There are specific people that are going to buy your product, whether it is a car, guitar, amp, dishwasher. For cars, they release the same model name every year with a minor tweak...

That's awesome! I looked for one of those about 10 years ago when I was on a huge Uli Roth kick. I never found one. It would be cool to have the 36 fret version as well.

I have the Decibel Eleven Dr and loop expander, both are excellent. They are buffered, midi, dead quiet, easy to use and can be used for switching as well.

Thanks everyone, now I'm gassing for a new head!

I had my Triaxis repaired by Mesa and have fallen in love with the Mark sounds all over again. It has me curious about the JP-2C, mostly, because I think that heads sound better than pre amps + power amps (just something about the low end and the umph), plus it has midi, which is critical to my...

This is why I haven't moved yet. When I record, I go direct with sims in the box. The end results are better than I could get with a mic on my amps, but I can't stand the feel. I actually ended up splitting the signal and running one to my real amp, just to have that sound and feel. I love...

I used to have one in a rack setup with my triaxis, I loved that thing. A cool effect trick is to use the tremolo, as fast as it will go and as deep. This will give you a full volume swell, but at a tempo of around 200bpm. Take your right hand and mute the neck (like Steve Vai does in legato...

Yeah. Clearly the guy has some pipes, he hits the notes live and his range is incredible. But, that church vibrato, ouch, that hurts the ears.

I saw the tour earlier this year. It was my first time seeing them, though I've been a fan since Asylum. They put on a great show. I will second the pyro was out of this world. The band is incredibly tight. Yes, Paul is clearly using backing tracks, he can hardly speak, yet sings perfectly...

Agreed, just an underrated band. First 2 albums are awsome but I feel the song writing falls off after that. I felt the same way. I had many of the Magna Carta records from the early 90's. After Dream Theater gave me the progressive bug with I&W, I searched out everything I could. The big...

I loved their first record. It was produced by Steve Rothery from Marillion. Their drummer is fantastic.

Why are you focusing on the 212? The 412s sound way better, tighter bottom and just drown you in the sound.

Yeah, I used to do it that way as well, especially on the solos. But the new "school" which I guess isn't that new, it's to play a bar and stop. Play a bar and stop. That's how all of the metal albums are made and why they are so incredibly tight. Yes, they are probably fixing some timing...

He recorded 1984 with the Eventide, which you can really hear that wide chorus/detune on Drop Dead Legs which sounds like 5150. He may not have toured with it, but he certainly had the money to do so.

When you're playing the NRFTW or NMT era Zakk stuff, what are using (patch) for chorus and are you also running a detune to get that Yamaha "symphonic" patch setting? You kill all this stuff, it's great to see someone play everything so faithful and nail the parts.

Killer thrash!

Looking at his lack of a pedal board, it's definitely being patched in. By this time he was doing the Bradshaw rack, so it's conceivable that he has four buttons to push, main, phase, flanger, dotted delay, but I don't see him pushing back and forth, like you would expect playing Unchained.
