That has the same distant, not in your face type of guitar sound I kept getting when I tried recording with a Kemper. I have heard others get great sounds with them but I just could not figure it out. User error I know both by myself and whoever recorded this Iommi track.
I've been in the room with Mark playing a few dozen times, at least. He rips. Plain and simple. He has a killer right hand attack and just plays like he is showing the guitar who its daddy is.
Now I will admit that his clips are him just going from one riff to another endlessly like probably...
The store that Mark Cameron worked at that bought all the Jose amps was called A&V Music and was located in Huntington Beach. Now there may have been 2 batches of amps in Jose's shop and maybe one batch of them went to Black Market Music.
That was in the very early 2000's. I was there the day the truck came with all the jose heads and parts and helped them unload. I was there when we noticed receipts taped to the bottom of most of the heads that had the names of every rock star in LA written on them. And that was the day we...
I'm thinking of doing a traditional tele for myself. I'm torn between swamp ash and alder for the body wood though. It will have a 1 pc maple neck. I don't normally like swamp ash but it might be right for a tele and I will go on the more traditional side with pickups too. Any recommendations on...
What I can't stand are the guys who are intermediate players at best giving advice and doing reviews of gear. Awesome! Next I am going to go watch a green belt do martial arts videos.
I completely agree with this. I also believe slam dunking a basketball, being a fighter pilot, scoring a TD in a Super Bowl, winning a Formula 1 race, patenting a new life-saving medical device, becoming CEO of a major corporation and I could go on and on and on, are also "horseshit".
What I...
Oh yeah, I have checked out your stuff before on here. Great playing and like the other videos I checked out, I like how your guitar just jumps out of the speakers. I love that in your face type of tone.
I also have been doing battle with a bad sounding 10'x10' bedroom studio in my house for years. I have spent countless $1000's of dollars trying differnt methods of getting things to sound right. One thing that helped is going from larger studio monitors down to Yamaha HS-5's.
Then I remembered...
Mark Cameron told me a couple of times specifically that it is very difficult to mod a Marshall and make it sound better than just hitting the front of a stock Marshall with an SD-1 or TS-9. He felt most guys who modded Marshalls didn't achieve that and that is what my experience tells me too...
I have owned a few modded Marshalls including 3 or 4 Cameron modded Marshalls. The Camerons are killer but to my ear and the way I play, I prefer a stock Super Lead circuit and I "mod" it with a Boss SD-1 or a Boss OD-1 or a Boss GE-10 or an MXR 6 Band EQ, or a Tube Screamer or with a strat I...
