    Amp noise when isolated from guitar cab

    Wow. That's very strange. Aside from maybe the cable length being so long that the impedance of the cable is becoming significant enough to cause this.

    Boosted Marshall Madness

    First one sounds a little wonky, but I LOVE the brown sound clip. V30s?

    X50 v2.0

    A bump for Onqels' amazing ongoing work on the X50. Also, I am proud to announce (though still pretty annoyed on a personal level) that due to the fact that the upcoming X50 is such a high quality amp sim, it's caused me to become aware of a minor flaw in my IR making process. The fix for this...

    Any place to get known "good" SM57s?

    That sounds like a good deal! Maybe I'll try there first :) Already have a few of them, I really like them for some projects, great for blending in to unmuddy a dull tone. In this price range, the Heil PR20 is pretty good too. That one can get a little muddy though, but sometimes it's...

    Any place to get known "good" SM57s?

    I know the common thought these days is that newer SM57s vary greatly in their quality and tone compared to more vintage models. I own two, and have owned two for close to 10 years now, and they do sound like practically different mics. I have one labeled as the good one and one as the "bad"...

    Do my EMGs sound right ?

    Could be a bad capacitor in the signal chain, sounds like some DC could be leaking through to the opamp. I'd look to replacing them if you can.

    What mic for this sound?

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8838613/02%20Brave%20New%20Hell.mp3 According to Dan Swano, this tone was miked with "SM57, Royer ribbon and AKG 414, might have been a MD421 there too, or a U87..don´t remember." but all I have out of that list is the SM57 and a Cascade ribbon (closest to a...

    JCM800 2203 in mix - Serenity Painted Death

    Oh man, so many guys have said that after selling their Marshall, I just hope I don't have to say the same one day! Next thing on my list of things to do is run some distortion pedals into this thing and see if I can get those classic stoner/Swedish Death Metal tones. Any recommendations on...

    JCM800 2203 in mix - Serenity Painted Death

    Picked up this beautiful 1983 Marshall a few weeks ago and was eager to make clips with it, but it had to go in for some work first. This is my first clip with it. Enjoy!
