Sounds great man. I've always wondered how James Hetfield used the Wizard Modern Classic in his guitar rig. Was it just for layering of big ringing chords for the Garage Inc. (first disc) album? Did he "dovetail" it with his Mesa/Boogie TriAxis and the Strategy 400 power amp? If so, how? How...

Engaging LEAD FAT really adds a lot of gutsiness to the sound.

Haha yep! It's just the mixing desk's in-built auxiliary effects, not my effects pedals or the Rockman rack unit. It's set to about 50%. For stuff that is very 'direct' and dry, it opens things up and swirls so wide. If the songs already have some chorusing on them (a lot of 80s stuff, not...

And speaking of 'wet' - I'm so nuts about it that I listen to songs through the mixing desk running a chorus patch! Swirl City!

Damn. Thanks for advice. By the way my cab is an older Marshall 1960 angled cab. Two EV 12S speakers in the bottom, and two Mesa/Boogie MC90 Black Shadows in the top.

Has anyone tried the Intellifex STP sound using the Boss DC-2w Waza pedal?

Ha! It can get plenty washy when I run a slave signal out to my Jazz Chorus combo amp! But I like that type of sound- great for Rush songs. I'm not really trying to get a stereo effect out of the one cab, but more of a unified complex textured sound. Plus I miss the huge impact of running a...

Sounds awesome!

I'm thinking of doing a weird wet/dry/wet/dry thing with my 4x12 by wiring up each speaker to its own socket/jack. Two speakers will be run by one amp (8 ohms per side) as the 'dry' signals. The other two are the 'wet', but one speaker has a signal that is 90% wet/10% dry, and the other is 10%...

I recently switched around my pickups in my guitars (both are ESP Les Paul copies). One has a Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck, and the other has a Lace Sensor in the neck.

Haha yep! It was actually made by one of the HC members. I cannot remember who. The "FAIL" thing was already around but did evolve from HCAF, with this one being an example. I also remember some threads about a strange guy on YouTube demonstrating a Boss multi-effects unit through his...

I've been doing this recently with my Neunaber Chroma. It's interesting how it makes everything swirl and shimmer, yet its a static chorus effect. It's like an old piano going slightly out of tune but sounds so rich. I guess it is the beating that occurs when you have two slightly separate...

Thanks for this info. I love reading this depth of detail, particularly about the Intelliverb.

I remember this being posted too:

Don't forget the cakefarts and piping hot farts...

Ha, do you mean me perchance? I migrated from Harmony Central when it melted down and deleted accounts in 2010. I kept the same username. I bought my MarkIV from a poster on HCAF. His real name is Rob but I can't remember his username. What I miss are the Xtranormal vids that were made...

Gosh...

I don't even hear it as a "crunch". It's like a mucky "blatty" broad upper mid sound that doesn't even seem to distort. Maybe a kind of brittleness, but none of that searing sizzling crunch and definitely no balls or nuts. More like squashed balls. Something wrong with the Presence. Maybe they...

I LOVE that guitar sound so damn much! :rock: :rock: I know it was a Marshall and possibly a Tubescreamer in front but I am not completely sure. Some sources say it was the same gear as Kill 'em All but it was recorded in November 1984, well after that gear was stolen. It also sounds...

Yep. Nice and crisp. I saw Metallica live at the Soundwave Festival in Perth over five years ago. It was at the show grounds. They played I think nearly ALL of Kill 'em All! If not the whole album. I was about halfway back from the stage in the crowd but the air was so clear, James could hear...
