    Versatile outboard gear for mixing death metal

    I’m looking for a super versatile bus compressor. Possibly one that can handle basic mix bus compression, to dual mono, to mastering and beyond. I record mostly extreme metal (lots of blast beats, really fast kicks). I currently only own one outboard compressor and it’s a Chameleon Labs 7720 and...

    Micing a 4x12 with an attenuated amp

    Thanks guys. Here's my first take of reamping at bedroom volumes with an attenuated amp: sm57 on a v30 4x12

    Micing a 4x12 with an attenuated amp

    This is exactly the answer I was looking for! Thanks man. The good thing is that I won’t have to go into debt or anything to test this setup. I assumed there would be some tone loss. One thing I have noticed when it comes to IRs is that at times they seem to sound a bit thin. I figured this...

    Testing my new ENGL Savage 120

    I was pretty close to snagging an Invader. A depth knob would certainly be nicer than a button for sure!

    Micing a 4x12 with an attenuated amp

    Does anyone record this way? I’ve been using my Torpedo Reload along with the Wall of Sound plugin as my primary method for recording guitars for a while now since my 4x12 isn’t exactly an option in my condo. I was curious how different it would sound if I mic’d up my 4x12 with an SM-57 with the...

    Testing my new ENGL Savage 120

    That is indeed a fun fact. I feel like this amp has a shitload of bottom end as well. This isn’t actually brand new. It’s new to me, but I believe it’s a 2014 model. I do however engage the depth boost but I haven’t had any issues with the low end getting out of hand in my mix. I do however like...

    Testing my new ENGL Savage 120

    Might be the best amp I’ve ever played. Here’s a test run I did using my Torpedo Reload and Wall of Sound cab IRs. Any other Savage owners on here? How do you guys dial yours in?

    EZdrummer Metal Machine in Superior Drummer

    Just got this expansion the other day and literally slapped them into this mix with only a few volume tweaks and they sound like this. Pretty awesome. One thing I've struggled with when recording solo stuff with drum samples, is making a blast beat sound legit. I always feel like even when...

    Best metal amp for 1000-1500usd

    I recently scored a used ENGL Blackmore signature for around $1100 and it's quite possibly my favorite head ever. It's super versatile. It has no problem going from crystal clear cleans to Cannibal Corpse and everything in between.

    ENGL Ritchie Blackmore / Torpedo Wall of Sound III demo

    This was the "Angl 4x12" with two mic positions. One almost dead center and one slightly off center and pulled back away from the cab a bit. Both were the "dynamic 57" mics

    ENGL Ritchie Blackmore / Torpedo Wall of Sound III demo

    This is my first ACTUAL demo video. The Two Notes stuff is probably the coolest thing to happen to my home recording setup. I've also owned a Kemper, Bias FX Pro, and other amp sims but nothing beats being able to crank a real amp. So perfect for silent recording in an apartment/condo.
