Custom DIY Preamp soundcheck / steel panther content haha

[Mago]

Hey guys,

had a bit time today since I'm on hiatus with work (waiting on feedback from client, nothing to edit for my band, can't record vocals today because my neighbours build somthing :Smug so I decided to make a soundcheck with the custom DIY preamp that my band's other guitarplayer build a while ago.
Its a DIY kit called "The Anvil". A small german amp builder built this one for lasse and it became a diy kit...he modded it a bit more to his likings though.
Anyway, here it is, "Asian Hooker" by Steel Panther is the song.

Instrumental & without lead guitars

Since the best part of the song are the vocals I tried something:
I put the original song in another track in the session, extracted the center channel & adjusted the Hi and Lowpasses so that most of the high end from the cymbals and most of the bass is gone....at least some vocals and the lead guitars are there now^^

Guitars are quadtracked, epiphone les paul custom w/ EMG81-TW
Bass is bitchshifted guitar
OH and toms SD2 MF
Kick and Snare are triggered with Trigger (love it!) mix of Slate and LSD

cheers Marco

Hot-rodded Marshall tone. Awesome.

 

[Mago]

Thanks!

I'm getting more in love with this thing the more I play around with it.
Reamped the RoS today (actually the first time I did that^^)

Rhythm Channel (Soldano like) boosted with TS

Lead Channel (more towards Marshall after his moddings, as Wolfeman said) no TS

I like the lead channel more, less boomy and a bit smoother, thats what I like most about the Lead channel, even if it means less attack and bite (because its with less voltage or something,
as he explained to me)

what I forgot in the first post:
Asian Hooker was with the Lead channel, also no TS.
All files with Gregs beta impulse and HP/LP only.

I think the guitars should come down like a tiny bit. like.5db. But dude, this mix is killer. Guitar tone slays imo. Great job.

Hey Mago could I have the stems for this? Just 3 stereo tracks of drums, bass and guitars. I feel like laying down some vocals for it and possibly the lead as well
