Sounds awesome!
Nice and chunky.

Loved these guys - I wore out my cassingle of Inside Out I played it so much.

Great tone and great playing. XYZ should have been huge. What cab IR were you using??

I hear he used an ada mp1 on that album. Great job as usual.

thanks dude! there are a lot of speculations regarding what he used in the studio, on the first album (XYZ) he probably played through a Jose Arredondo modded marshall but on "Hungry" he used a custom built preamp by Mike Morin, they're extremely rare (there are like 20 or so worldwide)

I believe this to be true about the Morin preamp. My buddy had a couple of Morin preamps and Morin modded Marshalls and at this time, he told me Marc Diglio from XYZ was at Mike Morin's house when my buddy went to pick something up and that Diglio told him that he had used the Morin preamp on the new Hungry album that wasn't even released yet. XYZ were not a very big band in LA at the time even though they had a record out and my friend was not a fan so this was not a situation where my friend even cared that some dude in a local band had one too.

I ended up owning a couple of Morin preamps back in the day too (the tone freak friend got hooked on speed and needed to make rent). They were very cool. WAY, WAY, WAY better than the ADA in my opinion. No where near as versatile with just one sound being able to be dialed in at a time but at a different level tone-wise to me. And way more in your face and present. It always seemed to me like the ADA was coming out of a 10' deep 4x12 cabinet and that the speakers were in the back of the cabinet. YMMV

Very interesting, thanks for the info!
