Mesa Boogie Mark IIC++ TBA tone

[NineShallDie]

Hello everyone!

New poster here! Been lurking a while though. Did a video on my Mark IIC++ Coliseum KDRG trying to capture the black album tone. I think it turned out pretty good.

Sounds good. Just needs a bit more upper mids.

Good stuff

Thanks for the advice I’m a total beginner when it comes to recording.

What was the recording chain

What was the recording chain

ESP MX-250 - Boss NS-2 - Mark IIC++ - Two notes Captor X (for attenuation) - Recto OS 4x12 - SM57 - UR22 - Cubase.

Good stuff.

You need a sennheiser 421 mixed with the 57. I think that's what they used?? Anyways, nice tone, you got pretty damn close.

Thanks man! Yeah, they did. And probably a bunch of room mics, eqs and a lot stuff. I just thought it was kinda cool getting somewhat close to the tone, using simple recording equipment in my basement.

Yes. A 421 is a must to blend. Make sure you check phase.

Nice man. Good to see another C+ Coli owner around these parts! I know of 2 others; I think there's 1 more here but he doesn't post very often.

Sounds mean man, nice job. I like your tone better than theirs, it’s more raw. I’m in the FB IIC+ group that you’re in. Post your clip of Battery, that’s a killer. And welcome!

 

[Hyperionguitarworks]

this sounds sick. I have a purple mark 3 that sounds similar.

Thanks! Yeah, I know a few IIC+ Coli owners as well. I guess some of them post on here. Do you have a KRG or what version is yours?

Thanks! Yes it’s a little more raw, i kinda like that as well!

I can post the Battery clip, but the guitars turned out very dark on that one. But hey, it was a first try

Thanks man! I have never tried the purple stripe. But I’ve had the red, blue and currently own an early No stripe + modded with 105 PT and a No stripe Coliseum. They are both awesome! But there is something special with 2C+/2C++

 

[Devin]

Sounds awesome

That battery clip. FUCK.....
I Have a c+ also. Can I ask your setting in the battery clip?

Yeah, it’s dark, but you played the shit out of it, and it still sounds great. Nice first try.

Thanks man! These were the settings in the Battery clip. Treble and Master 1 are pulled, presence on 2.
