Forgot Mr.Rothery! Glassy cleans and soaring solos

I kinda miss that intense aesthetic on rack preamps

That's awesome! I really enjoy my 250ML. Went for a full refurb on mine with brand new speakers from GK in California (6 month wait time!). New old stock buttons and installed a kill switch for the internal speakers, so it doesn't run when I'm using a 2x12 at the same time. I made this video...

I totally get why some folks aren't into it, or find it lacking definition. I'm also a keyboard players so I guess it's my own personal appreciation for some of the soundscapes and emotions created from dicking around with delay and chorus.

Give me some of your coolest "heavily processed" tones. The ones used to create texture, atmosphere and wash. Big racks, drenched in reverb and delay etc! Enchant - The Thirst (Likely a tri-axis with a bit of a cocked wah? Delay, reverb and chorus as standard) Rush - Big Money (I think this...

I would keep both. Attenuator load box so you can jam your amp, but also pick up a second hand AxeFX 2 or something for digital fun. Been recording amp and digital guitarists for years and I've done experiments in the past to see if the "purists" can back up their claims. They can't tell what...

Kirk is an interesting one. Seems like a nice dude, but I can't put my finger on him. This interview only made it worse haha. As folks have already said here, he sorta mailed in in after 1992. There is some cool, unique playing on those earlier albums. Then he retreated to the blues "box"...

90s: 80s:

There is some clever use of pitch correction, vibrato enhancement, and limiter/compressor slamming. Not at as obvious as alot of the "Frontiers" records use of it, but it's still there.

Sorta reminds me of seeing any of these old bands do tribute acts to their former selves. GnR, Def Lep, Whitesnake, Motley etc. It's cringey but I get they have divorces, surgery, facial reconstruction etc to pay off haha.

I'd love to ask Don why he still feels he needs to grace us with his "vocals". Does anyone around him tell him that live he looks like a an un-thawing cave man with the voice of asthmatic donkey? Or is it a delusion?

I think they have some onstage cabs for some stage volume? Either that or it's feeding an ISO box cab set up. I run a Mach 402 under my fractal to get some air moving on stage with a cab, as well as the FOH.

That's a great way to describe it. Sunny weekend fishing boat rock?

I love how happy this album is. "Feels So good" is such a fun weird song. I've never been to bothered by cold, commercial production of alot of late 80s stuff. Solos are unreal as always.

I have, 2002ish. Wasn't really my thing, never has been, no matter how many people on forums tell me I have to like it haha. Kick and Snare triggers where like fish slapping against a wall and far too loud. Dime's tone fizzy and any form of thump was being dealt with by the bass. I think the old...

Do they hope that the assets hold value? I hope it's more about the preservation rather than the potential income.

All slice, no thump, too much fizz, shreddy pentatonics, not for me. If you don't like it, you can speak to my crew :ROFLMAO:

Folks said the same about the Melotron, the the ROMpler keyboard. "ahh now anyone can play any sound, musicians will loose their job" Folks said the same about digital "ahh now you can literally fake all your music and do unlimited takes" Folks said the same thing about auto-tune and amp sims...

That sounds spot on haha. I'm a 90s baby, so wonder if I'll be spending 8k on recreating POD Farm tones from the late 2000s hahaha

Dime fans must have some serious disposable income to constantly be buying into the nostalgia. Also never been a fan of the "all slice and no thump" solid state fizz, but then again people are willing to spend thousands to obtain it.
