Man, I've been an EMG guy for year, and recently I installed TB5 to one of my Jacksons. I was inspired by Gary Holt's tone too and I need to say that I'm totally happy with it. Interesting thing is that Jackson PCS King V(made in USA '94) had TB-5 from the factory, I discovered that after few...

Colin Richardson, we miss you so much...

Didn't try UAD version, but Kazrog did really spectacular job of modeling Savage amp. I owned Savage 120 for few years and was really wondered when tried Kazrog's amp sim. But for me, Savage is a bit strange amp, I didn't use it much for my recordings.

Hi, man! There are some issues in your mix you should work with. Your overall mix sounds overprocessed and unnatural. Your drums is the biggest problem here, they are overcompressed and sound robotic. You may spend some more time and program them better. Also, a kick drum has no punch. Don't...

His latest work - an album for While She Sleeps called You Are We, it was released just two months ago.

They sound cool, but that's not a typical thing to see so many 2x12 cabs in a metal studio :D I guess it more comfortable for you to put them in a mix

Great work, dude! Wery useful stuff for gear lowers who have some money and don't know what they should purchase to diversify their guitar sound. By the way, as I can see you prefer 2x12 to 4x12, why?

In one of their last interviews they told that they tried to achieve an effect of loud record which can be noticeable even on a low volume. Good idea but shitty realization of it. Actually I think they don't care too much about that.

That's a good example of your hands and a good guitar's set up - are the most important things in a guitar tone. Well done, man!

Sounds a way better than Metallica's original mix. Actually this is a good example of how they can and SHOULD sound. Good work, man!

Well, remember that drums is the most important part of your mix. With good drums bad guitars would sound like that's just a guitarist's personal taste while with awesome guitars bad drums would sound like it a bad mix. Pay much more attention to this part. As for your guitars... Why did you...

Hi man! Nice music, but your mix sounds like it a quick demo, but not a professional mix. First of all, your drums are boring. I don't like both their sound and their beats. Overheads are lifeless, kick sounds like it a default Sup. 2.0 kick sample, snare is too far. For now your drums are...

Hi man! Why did you think there is not much dist? As far as I can hear, there is a HUGE amount of gain coming from his amps and some saturation after that. For that kind of sound start with a proper overdrive pedal. As for me, a tubescreamer would not be the best choice here, it's better to use...

Hi, man! For me JCM800 here sounds right as it should. 5150 is too bright for this mix. As for your drums - Made of Metal is an awesome drumkit, but they are not mix ready drums. Actually it's a very good starting point and with this expansion can achieve an awesome drum sound. But listen to...

Hey, man! Cool song, great performance, I like it. As for a mix, I think you did it too raw and noisy. I would make this drums more loud and let them slam this song
