CLIP: Diezel Hagen. Opinions greatly appreciated.

[Tone Monster]

Looking for opinions on this tone. Each side is double tracked. Once boosted with Sd-1, once unboosted. Its just a 30 second clip of the main riff of Judas Kiss by Metallica.

For one listen, (and this is just an opinion and I've never heard the song you played) it seemed kinda of thin until about the last 6 secs or so. The tone sounded good, but I think it'd get lost in a mix.

Great thrash tone, though.

 

[Mailman1971]

I think it sounded good.
Not sure of the song you were playing since I never heard it. I would like to hear some more "open/Hanging" chords with that amp. Some slow chug stuff. The thrash sounded really tight though.

 

[roadifier]

I thought it sounded ok. Not something I'd use in a mix, and sounded really scooped

 

[rupe]

I dug it

 

[mrkmas]

It sounded good to me, but in the mix it could be a problem.

 

[Les Zombie]

it sounded ok but i have heard better tones and clips from you.
now after saying that i think that amp could be very special if you spend some more time with it, you have the tools and the ability to make great clips.

I did not like it at all. Just being totally honest. It was very fizzy and thin, IMO. Sounded like a distortion pedal.

Jeez Dan. It's off MEtallica's last album. Ya know the one everyone loved, Death Magnetic?

As far as the clip. It was a bit fuzzy on my end but still good. Your SE sounds much meaner I bet?

Now that the honeymoon is over with this amp how does it rank with your other amps?

I was very surprised that this was a Hagen...I haven't heard a Hagen clip that I totally love yet. I like the Herbert much better. This being said, I have not played a Hagen so I can not say if it is great or crappy, just that I am not a fan of this particular clip.

 

[japetus]

I am going to be honest, that sounds pretty terrible. Very shrill. I also don't understand why you are using an SD-1 with that amp.

 

[Tone Monster]

Thanks for the opinions everyone. The boosting was an experiment and I definitely scooped it. I was going for bright and tight. This amp can do looser thicker and muuuuch darker.

 

[Ben Hur]

nice and tight, but too much scoop to cut through a mix.

then again....... sometimes the great tones you find and love suck on a record. and the weird tones that sound terrible on their own are just what the record needed to fill out. wtf. go figure.


i hear everyone say there aren't any good Hagen clips. i thought Reza did a pretty darn good clip. good talking, good playing, good tones. if you need more than that, just buy the amp and try it yourself

 

[Tone Zone]

Sounded good to me.

 

[Audioholic]

I like the core of the sound, but pretty thin, needs some bottom end as well as some body and dimension.. maybe a mic a bit further off blended in to give it larger space...

 

[pstar]

Just got a Hagen, it's not good with that dirt box in front, add some mids and loose the crappy pedal. It was terrible. Mic type?, placement ? Cab? Into what mixer? Eq'ing offer the end?
But I still luv u. Please do again
