Although this has usefull information, I have to ask: why would a company like Mesa (or Engl for that matter), which is going for the best tone possible, use "second rate shit" as you call it? I have had several amps from Engl and never had any bad preamp. You make a lot of bold statements...

Hi Matt, Thats what I thought also based on your clips! :rock:

Thx for all the comments. I was considering the G12T75 combo too, but some people complain about the harshness of these speakers :confused:

In my never ending quest for improvement of my tone, I decided to do a mix of speakers in my Marshall 4x12 1960AV. The current speakers are the V30's. The much talked about "mid spike" of the V30's can indeed be annoying sometimes. I want smoother mids and a tad more "oomph" in my sound. So I...

Nice work, man.

Thanks for all the help. New update again with added riff of myself. Look past the timing of my playing and such, this is a tone test. The mic is close to the grill like you all suggested. Much better this time. I used the lower right speaker and tried different positions and I think that I will...

Posted another attempt, this is harder than I imagined. Tweaked the presence and the treble. The mids (open mode) are on 7 (out of 10). Still no effects or double tracking. Changed the mic position also a bit. The mic is Audio Technica AT2020. I'm using a 4x12 slant cab. The mic is in the middle...

Wikipedia: King contributed a lead guitar outro part to Pantera’s song "Goddamn Electric", which appeared on the 2000 album "Reinventing the Steel".[13] King’s rig was set up in Pantera’s bathroom backstage just after Ozzfest in Dallas, as the group still didn't have their own dressing room...

I guess you have to throw away one record of Pantera too, the one with Kerry King's solo on it :lol: I don't understand this Slayer hate, they have earned their place in metal history and wrote some classic songs. However, disrespect by fans towards other bands is a big no-no. The slayer...

Ok, thanks. Removed one because the playing was indeed awful. What do you suggest in terms of sound improvement?

So in an effort to prove that the Powerball isn't muddy (like some stated here) I posted some clips. Guitar is straight into the Engl Powerball with a Marshall 1960AV cab. No effects, no post EQ. I used one mic connected to Yamaha Audiogram 3 with Audacity as software. Now you may think that...
