CLIP - New Landry clip! WOW!

[fek]

I like the vintage spongy type of sag also. My Mig 60 had it and I really miss that.

First it's Les Paul bashing and now Jake? Oh man... This is going to be a loooooooooong day.

Well, at least Jake plays a strat, so he does have at least one redeeming quality.

Yeah, exactly! All those guys (Lynch, Jake, Warren, etc...) seemed to have that more vintage low end thing going on. It's not good for ThE bRoOtAlS DeTh MeTaLz, but it's freaking smoking for the types of tones I like.

I'm with you on this one, sounds like the vintage Yngwie low end as well. I like some sponge in the low end, not too much but just the right amount. The low end is always the toughest thing to get right for me since I like a bright top end as well.

Ewww... O.K., I think Yngwie is a neo-classical god and to this day I can identify his playing even amongst all the other immitators, but I saw him live a few years back and I didn't like the bottom end of his tone at all. In fact, I'd call what I heard "flubby" when he was chuggin. For the single note stuff though it sounded great.

i'm with bob on this one--the fast high stuff popped out great but the low end was sorta smeared with gain and probably the pickup and speakers.

check out this low end for what i look for in rock tone:

Sounds really nice! It's a little to aggressive for me (maybe just too much presence dialed in) but I really like all the thick overtones.

I like some sponge on the low end too. I'm really digging the vintage feel of the Marshall JTM , it's so spongy it can soak up a spilt beer.

Great playing I don't like mushy low end like that but I'm sure it's tweakable. I mean, i can make my Boogie sound like mush or with high piercing top end, it's just how you tweak it, record it, etc.

A "mushy" low end to me is a Mesa Mark series amp with the bass pot cranked and the graphic EQ off or maybe a Marshall Plexi with the bass channel cranked up. That's some serious "mush" to me.

This Landry may not be a tight VHT metal machine, but it's not at all mushy as the stuff I described above.

Dude, A boogie Mark series amp with the bass pot cranked is more then mushy lol..It's downright nasty!

IMHO, I think the playing is great!! Loved it. The tone to me on this clip sounds a bit muffled or loose on the bottom end but there is definitely something there and I think it has more to do with the way it was dialed in then anything.

I just checked the clip out...I don't think it has too much bass or flubby bass at all. I'm listening on some pretty good studio headphones...I think in a live setting, that extra meat would really make your tone sound great.

Very nice ! I liked it. Concerning the flub: it sounds like this is one of those amps with maybe a tad too much in the 100-200 hz region. That can cause a bit of flub especially when playing muted on the lower 2 strings but also gives a nice fat tone in my experience.

Giga.

I also thought the lead suff had a great tone but the low strings were too undefined/fizzy. How hot is that Carvin pickup? I would like to hear that amount of gain in the amp with a PAF style pickup.
