What do you guys think of this tone?

[ratter]

and yes, you're nuts..the guitar sounds great....

+1 I can't really find any fault with that tone....I really dug it. The main reason I guessed revalver was because that delay was so clean.

 

[AmpliFIRE]

Honestly sounds a bit weird in the mids (like inorganic if you know what I mean) and muffled like something was between the mic and the speaker to me. Not my favorite tone from you, but I dig that last lick!

Steve

It's funny you say that, because that was the only thing I didn't dig about the QR that I had. Some days the mids sounded weird to me. The amp definitely sounded better once I replaced the Mullard RI EL34's with =C= EL34's, but that mid thing still came back from time to time...just not as bad. I actually called DerekB the day after i got the amp to say that I was going to return it because of this. I decided to change the power tubes instead and it made a HUGE difference.

those mids are why you can bury everybody else in a band situation though I know this from experience..eheh

Didn't you change your Mullards as well? I've owned plenty of Marshall's (both stock and moded) and the QR was the only one that had weird thing in the mids. It's not about not having enough mids...I crank them on all of my amps...it's about the tone of them.

I put tung sol EL 34Bs in there because I'm using greenbacks....

what's a weird mid? I see this term alot but I still don't understand what makes a mid weird or not weird..lol....

another thing to keep in mind..it's a splawn..not a marshall...it's scott's voicing based on a hot rodded marshall, but it's not a marshall...so yeah, it's gonna sound different...

 

[Vrad]

ahhhh chubtone...your ears never lie to you do they? lol

the clip rocks!!! Especially considering it was done in under five minutes..nice tone and cool playing to boot...

who says you have to crank the QR to get a good tone, right vlad?

and yes, you're nuts..the guitar sounds great....

Yeah... Chub's ears kill me! LOL!
How the fuck did he pick that out?

I've been saying that since I got the amp! You don't NEED to crank it! Yes it sounds better cranked, but it's very very useable at mousefart volumes.

That's why I sent you the clip! Because I tend to imagine things that aren't there sometimes!

It's coming from Cubase. It's a Waves delay. Post delay ALWAYS sounds yummy to me..

The Quickrod does have a weird midrange freequency plain and simple. There is no getting around it. Scott picked a particular midrange that is not the norm on most Marshally type amps and that's what you, me and many others are hearing IMHO but.....

Im willing to bet that because we have been hearing a particular freequency for many years, our ears are always looking for that, so in essence I give Scott props for picking something unique.

With that said, I actually like the Splawns when they are pushed by an 808. I think the 808 adds back some of what Im looking for.

Just my 0.02

There is nothing to get! The Splawns kick ass for you and just count your blessings that you found something that works for you! I know a ton of guys still to this day who can't find there sound lol

You know what...? I didn't know what a weird mid was until I got my QR lol. It had this certain honky tone to it.

 

[shreder75]

'so, it's a building that turns into a robot? I don't get it'

actually, listening to it again, that last lick, especially with the delay on there, sounds very reminiscent of EVH's sound on the exit solo of Drop Dead Legs tone wise...

If you understood everyone's opinion you would be filthy rich and would run Dr Phil right out of Hollywood.

It's like this, in another thread you stated that the JVM was worth $800 to you and everyone respected your opinion.....nobody refuted it or offered a rebutal since it is your opinion. Now some have an opinion that they have issues with Scott's voicing but your having issues understanding this. Not sure how else to put this.

I don't have issues with anything...I was just asking what was meant by 'weird'....weird is a rather broad term...lol...

and for the record, I've liked every clip from vlad regardless of the amp used (bogner, QR, marshall, revalver) or the guitar used..if people said something was weird about any of those clips I'd have to ask the same question =)

 

[Vrad]

I don't hear the mids as weird. I hear them as high mids. I actually dial it in similar to most Marshalls I've played (except the SL). Less treble and presence. More bass. Roll back the mids a bit. Maybe I'm going deaf.

 

[Digital Jams]

I know for a fact that 90% here would not like how I dial in stuff anyways

I tend to dial in way too much upper end.

LOL! Well see? That's just weird! I added the OD808 to ADD HONKINESS! I heard it as being too precise. I wanted hairier mids!
