anyone ever tried this? I use the sonic maximizer for my live set up and looooove it! doubles the balls, but I have yet to try it in a recording. I would imagine there might be too much bass...
I'd wager that that maximizer isn't needed in your rig, either
I think basically you are using it as an EQ rather than it's true intended use. I doubt you'll find much love for the "sonic maximizer in a guitar rig" idea around these parts.

BBE needs to be shot and killed for creating a pedal version of that piece of shit

I've heard a lot of great guitar tones live from guys that used them. most the the time a 5150 or 6505.... or both. Plea for Purging uses them. both guitarists run through a 5150 AND 6505 into 4 mesa cabs, so there are 8 guitar cabs and 4 heads on stage when they play. it's nuts.
I must say though, most of the time bands use them, they also use an EQ.
Unfortunately, it seems there is a mentality that more gear = better tone. I'd say quality beats quantity by far.![]()
I couldn't agree more. there's nothing like the tone of a guitar plugged right into the input of an amp (with a Tube Screamer in between)

I've played a few shows with them, most of the cabs are dummies, unless they've chaged their setup. Great band though, love the fire breathing.
me too man. my band played with em 3 times if I remember right. twice in Ohio and once when we were on tour in Arizona. I think I know at least 4 of the 8 cabs are legit. most of the time we played with them they only used 4 cabs total due to venue size. I thought they had great tone live. it was very dark sounding. the tone almost sounded the same standing off to the side of the cab than it did directly in front. they really knock off the highs. I loved it.
how'd you like their drummer's 20x28 kick drum? haha. that thing is so ridiculous!
