Quick Wizard MTL II Clip. Metallica WARNING!!!

[Tone Monster]

A quick clip of that little harmonized riff/interlude in Wherever I May Roam. The MTL II is quickly becoming my favorite amp for recording. The gain structure and voicing just sits so well for my tastes. Also, the controls are powerful and effective…I LOVE that. Both left and right are double tracked. Only thing I did was EQ out 3db of 1200.

Nice.

Sounds sick, what settings you running?

Everything is noon give or take a minuscule amount, including gain and sat (pulled). Treble and presence 2:00-2:30.

Wish you continued. Good stuff

 

[angelspade]

Dig it!

 

[RaceU4her]

Sounds great

 

[Jakem]

Sounds great! A lot of Mark series kind of tone in it.

Agree. Can be dialed in fairly close. More balanced and less finicky than a Mark series.

I've said it before, I must have owned more than 50 amps + power / preamps but the Wizard MTL definitely sits comfortably at the top of my list. Tight - percussive with tons of low and clarity and it's got this amazing 3D tone with huge punch at the same time. It sure is a loud MOFO and personally I think that it comes alive when played loud!
@Tone Monster It sounds great! Good job! Cabs - mics or IR?

Don’t even get me started on comparing the low end too vs the mark series lol.

Strong work!

 

[Brandonrz]

Also, how were you running the bright here? I feel like it’s the most finicky control on a Wizard

Dammit, this forum is eventually going to force me to buy a Wizard....

Personally, I find it best at 6 about 13:00

IRs. I’m through with actual mics!

I hear ya!

What IRs are you using? There’s definitely a convenience factor. I wish more guys would put out more raw irs instead of eqing the hell out of them before printing them.

A mix of two via captor x. Ownhammer Mesa v30 with a Royer/some random IR I pulled from the internet called “sandman”. Don’t remember where I even found it. . It’s VERY scooped sounding.
