Another Experiment with 6505 and CurveEQ

[Daunt]

I want to keep my Rockmaster thread clean, so here's another challence. The other one is Peavey 6505 and the other... well it's a hardware unit

Sample A
Sample B

You don't need to know the answer. Just say which one sounds better to you? You are going to love this one

You can find the answer from post #12

Sample A for me. Can't believe how damn similar those sound.

 

[Ermz]

I'll go with Sample A too. Which hardware unit is the other one? Sounds like it does a fairly good job when the mix is dense... If in fact I didn't pick the hardware unit :|

 

[Downtime]

Jepp, I guess A, too. And I´m curious about that "hardware device", too.

A

 

[Frankzappa]

There is not much difference, but I think B has more bottom so that's my favourite. Can you post clips of the guitars alone?

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

I'm actually digging B a bit more, there's something about the palm mutes that makes it better to my ears.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Hands down A.

Sample A wins out for me.

 

[Jackal_Strain]

I think they both sound pretty cool!

 

[Daunt]

Are you ready?!

a) Boss Metal Zone
b) Peavey 6505

I used the same methods as in the Rockmaster thread, but Sonic Maximizer was on bypass this time. I didn't even boost it with anything! The photo shows the actual settings. Talk about cheap ass gear...

"Features dual-gain circuitry for thick, tube stack distortion with heavy mids and lows and long-lasting sustain. A 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids takes your sound to the extreme."

 

[Jaymz]

Either your really good making average kit sound good or your 6505 is fucking wank LOL

 

[Behindert]

Hahah I love it, Boss MetalZone! I think both samples sound quite nice

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Fuck. A tone like that from one of the most disliked buzz boxes out there. I'm at awe, awesome job.

 

[Phoncible]

this is pretty wicked. should mean there's basically no reason why manufacturers couldnt make a pedal that makes the same sound as the amp..?

 

[Metaltastic]

Or a solid state amp, for that matter, which JBroll will no doubt be overjoyed to hear...

 

[Phoncible]

just gotta ask; you're not pulling our legs?

 

[GuitarMaestro]

If this is really true -> man that would be crazy!

How did you record the Metalzone? Direct or through an amp? If you recorded it direct please post a guitar only track of what comes out of the Metalzone without any eq, etc.

I am very interested in hearing how it sounds before anything as I never used one....
