Pretty close! His Wah tone had much more q or resonance (with the Fractal Wah) and I believe the frequency was a bit lower. I believe Tommy Shaw used Hiwatt amps and JY used Marshalls and they both had a custom preamp that they called the Yoshinarato which is a preamp/distortion unit which...
Thanks, I used a Warmoth custom Strat with a PRS 59/09 on the bridge and a WCR Goodwood on the neck. I used an MXR 10 band eq with mild frown face eq curve, an EP101 cranked all the way and for a bit more gain for solos I use an OCD. The Metro/Friedman had everything on 10 with a voltage regular...
I used a Humdinger in the Fx loop of the amp, but my hum issue wasn't as bad but it got rid of it. I also used an ISP Decimator G string for the front end of the amp and plugged the Axe Fx 2 into the in and out of the Decimator then my guitar into the Decimator and the out into the front end of...
I'm not in a band, but I own a bunch of amps and guitar. I also have a studio that was professionally built with a Pro Tools HD5 system in one Mac Pro and a Logic Pro X in another Mac Pro with a ton of sample libraries and plugins.I also have a nice collection of mics, Mic preamps, an SSL XRack...
I've been using the Aracom Dual Rox with dual with foot switchable lead and rhythm volume for over 3 years. I also use it as a load for running my amps into a power amp and it sounds great. I've used many including the Two Notes Torpedo Reload, Ultimate attenuator and many other ones. The Aracom...
I just have 2 Marshall 1960B, a Scumback Marshall 1960B replica(my best one because is built with late 60"s specs) cabinets and a 2x 12 custom cabinet. The Scumback Marshall 1960B replica is loaded with 4 different Scumback speakers so I can have different options when I record.I'm using 2...
Use a click track and start slowly building your speed, don't speed up the tempo until you have the the notes perfect. I also helps if you play along with drum loops. Try to keep your fingers as close as possible to the fret board, to much distance before you fret a note, can be a waste of...
I love The way of the Flesh. The drummer is insane and they have a crushing guitar tone. Is quite refreshing that they don't really do guitar solos, just very interesting riffing with precise squealing! My son turned me on to them!
I love my Scumback speakers! My current favorite are the BH75 and the M75 and they sound amazing together. I bought many different Celestions and the only ones that sounded as good were my old 1970 Greenbacks and Cream backs that were loaded into 2 1970 Marshall cabs. I sold all my V30's and the...
When Steve has a critique on anything I do, I listen! Period! He has great ears and he is a certified VH connoisseur! I want people to be brutally honest when I post clips so I can improve my playing and tone.
]Well I don't have a 10 band, but for shits and grins I tried your advice with a standard black MXR 6 band with the slight smile curve. Good call!
The 6 band will work but there's something about lowering the 500Hz, 1 kHZ and 2 kHz that the 6 band doesn't have but you can try by first setting...
Well I just got it back...WOW. Just WOW. Just an amazing amp. It's so bizarre how responsive it is to different pickups -- I have a Motor City Angel Dust (which is 14.4k output I think?) and it's almost too gainy! Right now I'm just loading it down into a HotPlate and slaving it to a power amp...
Thanks halebox! 62 people checked it out and not one comment! If the comments are mostly negative, I would love to heard them so I can improve my playing or my tone!
