Weekend Mark IIc++ jams

[Bram576]

Busted this thing out this weekend. Been playing my Wizard MTL the most lately, trying to figure out my ideal settings. Decided to change it up a bit this weekend. Usually try to change the amp I’m playing every week, so I don’t feel as bad about me taking up so much basement space. I dug how I did my last video featuring both stereo guitars and isolated single mono track. Also someone complained and went on a rant how I never do leads in videos, so here’s some weedly wopps for you.

Very nice work dude.

Very nice work dude.

Thanks man!

Nice! That's one of the better C+ representations I've heard.
Great job!

Thanks man! Trying to up my game! Really think the showing double tracked then single works really well to hear the character of these amps.

I dig it man and agree with Tom that this conveys the sound of the c+ well. I’ve gone back and forth with my feelings on the C+. In some ways I feel they are incredibly overhyped. But there’s a particular sonic quality about them that takes me somewhere no other amp does. It’s on loan with a friend but now I want to play mine

Long live the ++

 

[RaceU4her]

your settings are pretty similar to mine, though i have more knobs pulled but ill usually change those for a little L/R separation. i know how this sounds and feels in the room and its

theres just so much to fuck with, and each of my guitars sounds so different with mine, but when you do find it its magical.

i didnt even notice the ++, what exactly does the extra + do? im affraid to do anything to mine lol

I’m the same way, go back and forth with it. But when you plug in and it does the thing it’s known for, man it just rips your face off.

More gain and compression. Pretty much an internal boost. Have to turn down the treble and gain with it engaged for sure.

Doubke tracking is a must for me on clips. I’m just so use to that on albums

It makes it Hetfield. Not kidding. Dripping with gain yet still tight. Glorious.

How much gain were you running in ++ mode? For multi tracking I often find that less is more (to a point).

Side note in how all these amps are a little different, with my current switchable +/++, when I engage ++ I have to go +1 on the presence to match things back up. (TBH I don't recall how the last few I had behaved here.)

I personally prefer + over ++ for IIC’s.

Your thread title & video title lies then.

So then, settings as in the photo? That's a shit ton of gain for recording.

I've really gone back & forth here over the years. In the bedroom I tend to prefer ++. In the band I definitely prefer boosted +. For recording, I'm somewhere between boosted + and ++. We committed to boosted + for this album and in hindsight ++ may have been a little thicker & greasier.
