Sometimes I just Want To Keep It Simple...

My musical tastes have grown considerably more varied and eclectic over the years...But sometimes I still need some simple, meat and potatoes, blue collar hard rock.

Yup straight up!

Not sure if he will like it, but that distortion reminds me a lil of @Simon Dorn 's sound.
guess down tuned guitar with thick strings, EMG81 and boosted JCM800 is what i am hearing.
swamp the EVM12L for the G12K-100, scoop the mids, bit more thump, and it would be pretty close.

I actually dig the rhythm tones on this track. Reminds me a bit of the JVM OD2 red mode. Its definitely a boosted JCM. The thickness is nice, but it's just a touch too scooped and a but dark. Bit very solid overall.

...as far as i'm concerned.

0:00 Solo Raw
0:38 Double Tracked
1:16 Guitars and Bass still raw. Mastered Mix only.

I tried so many Amps now, except for a few like Wizard, Hermansson, Larry.
Will i try more Amps in the future to find a better one? Hell yeah. Will i find a "better" one? I doubt it.

I miss the Big Mac's from the 80's ............ now they are the size of hockey pucks and don't taste much better than one

Both pretty good

The Mono Chorus Guitar in Humungus is pretty Caveman-Style.
