My band submitted a cover of Black Sabbath's "Into the Void" for an upcoming Ozzy Tribute CD.

All guitar parts were done with a Diezel VH4 head, Marshall 1960A cab, and PRS McCartey guitar. Really loved the heavy crunch the Diezel gave on this track. :) Go go Diezel!
 
Sounds absolutely MASSIVE! Great work and fantastic tone.

I used Channel 3 with 7 treble, 5 mid, 4 bass. 4 Presence, 4 Deep

There are 4 rhythm tracks. On two of them, I used 4 gain, and on the other 2, I used 7 gain.
 
Not bad, good tone. Although you're playing ITV way too slow, actually a bit too slow for the "Black Sabbath" studio release to market in 1971. BS plays ITV even faster live.

We (G.I.B.) play this and several other BS songs in our "Judas Priest / Black Sabbath" tribute band. Our singer "Eric Hutch" absolutely nails Rob and Ozzy.

Currently the BS we play are the complete LPs from "Master of Reality, Paranoid, Vol. 4., Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage, (Ozzy, RR) Blizzard Of Ozz, (Dio) - Mob Rules, Heaven And Hell".

Needless to say, it could not be done any better than playing the Godfather's of heavy metal through a Diezel Herbert rig. :)

thank you very much. just to make sure: "5 mid" means half the way up - just like 12 o'glock, right?

I'm going to record my bands debut-album pretty soon and have to check out this quad-recording method with 2 different gain settings just like you did. might be very interesting.

sry for my bad english.

Yep, 5 Mids means about half way up. The mic placement can really change the tone you are getting on the board as well.

The tracks with less gain are "tighter". They are very percussive and brutal. The other two tracks with more gain have some of that signature saturated "high gain" sound, which is nice to have, especially on a heavier song. I think the two together sound pretty good.

I am still learning, as I am recording and producing everything myself, but I feel I get a pretty good sound out of the ol' Diezel :thumbsup:


Oh, and on the speed: yeah, it's a bit slow, but we were trying to have the intro sound a bit more doom and gloom.
 
Sounds AWESOME!

LOVE how you play it slow... play slow, live fast.
Great singer aswell.... reminds me a bit of The Gates Of Slumber.
 
Sounds good :thumbsup: you can always tell a diezel they just have a growl and tone that no other amp has... :rock: :rock:
