ENGL INVADER 100 TEST CLIP! by bulb

[bulb]

hey guys, i have been getting a lot of requests for some clips of this amp so here ya go!
its really rough i know and the takes arent tight at all cuz i wasnt even planning on posting it, but i figured since it came out decent itll give you a sense of the amp on channel 3 (bright, higain) and 1 (bright), on the clean channel i have the gmajor taking care of the phaser and delay.
i miked it with this weird mike jake has which i think is either the predecessor or prototype to the sm57, it looks exactly like a 57 but has a silver casing and an on/off switch as well.
i didnt take much care with mic placement, i just put it in front of the speaker and went for it, plugging it straight into the firepod and going from there, so there is definitely a LOT of room for improvement, and there is no bass in this clip either cuz i figured you guys would want to hear the amp, but yeah enough talk here ya go:

cool clip. I like the clean tone.

 

[Torniojaws]

Is that two or four tracks of guitar?

 

[smy1]

Sounds very "metallic", but that may be due to missing bass ...

But dude, even your bullshit-messing-around tracks are killer musically ...

 

[bulb]

its two tracks of guitar, never liked the way quad tracking sounds

and yeah its a really metallic sound, we call it "djent" its the way i need my tone to be haha!

 

[Ice Man]

Cool riffs for sure, but I'd say your ears are desiring a tone that many of us are not. Whether it be your recorded tones or your pod tones, you tend to go for a very bright, chingy sound to your guitars in which you have to compensate with heavy bass to fill out the low end (not the case here, naturally the bass isn't present). I'd say at least try a thicker tone, not so bright, and gel it with the bass guitar rather than having the guitars so bright and having the bass for sublows. You can certainly have djent without stinging upper-mids me thinks.

 

[Rob Logic]

Not that there is anything wrong with this in any way, but I think your POD tone fits the style of music you're doing like a glove. I don't know how well your tone with the POD would translate to what I do but I think it's great.

Not a production comment but the clean section is just plain rad.

 

[billcraftmetal15]

that clean tone is to die for! amazing playing aswell. get some bass on this! haha

 

[cobrahead1030]

could use a little more low end, but sounds really nice overall

that clean part is wicked as hell! i wish i could write good clean stuff like that
