https://failurerate.bandcamp.com/ Just dropped a demo and you can download it for free. Did all the recording, mixing and mastering myself. Check it out if it sounds up your alley! Thanks!

I started a new band with some friends and we put out a demo recently. For fans of metallic hardcore a la Earth Crisis, Unbroken, Turmoil, Foundation and Incendiary. Check it out if this interests you at all! You can download it for free via Bandcamp. Bandcamp...

I'm not positive, but I'm going to guess that they haven't, especially since there were still two of the original "peavey" power tubes in there and from what I can tell, all the preamp tubes are stock. If this was the case, could it be just volume loss or would I hear both volume loss and...

So I recently picked up a peavey triumph 120 which is a 120 watt all tube head. I know that may not be this forum's favorite piece of gear, but I love old peavey stuff and I think this thing sounds awesome. I play pretty loud and I've gotten kind of used to how loud I like to play and this amp...

We just put out a new 5 song EP called "I Want Nothing" and it's available for free download on our bandcamp: http://myfictions.bandcamp.com/album/i-want-nothing. I know we're not exactly a metal band, but this forum seems more open minded than some others and I figured I'd post it here for the...

So I'm going to begin recording, mixing and mastering my band's new EP in a few weeks and I was thinking about taking a different approach to recording cymbals/overheads. Generally, I just place one overhead mic on each side of the kit and try to achieve the best stereo image I can. I just use...

Well, I said "seems", as in most and I did just find out about his videos, so thank you Ola. Also, I was referring very much to those companies who do gear videos and official demo's, not as much personal reviews or demos, which are still rarely genuinely informative.

I know this thread is mostly about bugeras and the tri-rec coming out, but I do have to comment on the lack of "good" gear testing videos and reviews in general. Everyone who does youtube videos seems to only be interested in "classic rock"/hair metal, jazz or blues. I think it's probably...

So I just wired a cab for the first time and I'm hoping I did it right. I acquired a peavey 412f cab which was rated at 4 ohms with the original speakers. I usually run two cabs, thus rewiring the peavey cab to be 16 ohms to match my other cab seemed like a safe thing to do. I have a set of...

Thanks for the replies! From what other sources I've looked into, 5.3 ohms does seem to be the loud and the general consensus does seem to be that 4 ohms is my safest bet for this combo and my head can run at 4 ohms, so if I end up getting this other cab then that's what I'll do. I've also read...

Well first of all, my drummer plays incredibly loud, and I'm sure I'm going to get a bunch of, "dude, my drummer is the loudest drummer on earth and I get by with a 15 watt combo", but he is certainly the loudest drummer I'VE heard in a non mic'd kit setting. Second of all, my band isn't metal...

so I usually run two 4x12's in a live setting. right now both of my cabs are 16 ohms and I run my head at 8 ohms into those cabs and as far as I know that's the correct way to run both cabs. I'm looking into a different 4x12 right now though that is 8 ohms. if it is at all safe to do so, what...

I'm not that into most metal and I don't down tune past C, unless I'm messing around very occasionally, but I would recommend holding off on the 7 string and getting whatever 6 string you have set up to play in a lower tuning(something some what comparable to what you might be trying to achieve...
