First Davage60 Clip!

[LSD-Studio]

nothing really special, this is just the first testrecording with it (not much tweaking, no Mic-moving etc)....
it's so versatile I really have to learn the knobs a bit before it'll reveal its full potential, but I thought I'd post this for starters:


Savage60


2 tracks of Emg (18v)-loaded Robin

HP/LP @ 60Hz/12k....nothing else

 

[LydonB]

Sounds pretty nice to me. Did you use a 57 on the cab?

 

[Petrocker]

Davage60?

Sounds nice

 

[LSD-Studio]

Yeah, 57 with an additional 906 about 24dB lower.

here is it with 2 krank-tracks added (lower in the mix

quadtracked (+krank)

 

[LydonB]

I'm gonna be honest...I prefer the first one.

I'm gonna be honest...I prefer the first one.

+ 1. actually the sound comes close to a e530

 

[Keessi]

sounds nice and familiar(my band's guitarist has the 120watter)! Very nice growl to the sound! A few tips with the Engls I've noticed that work: 1. No TS 2. keep the mids very high(!) 3. Be careful not to have the presence too high, will make it too thin and fizzy. 4. they have A LOT of gain so even 11 o'clock might be enough hehe.

Have you tried it with the depth boost on? I think it would sound even more brutal with that one on! (maybe lessen the bass when it's on though)

 

[gorath23]

Sounds really good, it seems quite dry compared to some of the other ENGL's (Fireball/Powerball especially). I bet it would really hold its own in the mix. I'd love to hear some lead playing on this too, as I heard this is where the Savage really shines.

Hi Lasse...good clip and nice mids.
Could you share the settings?
I use the TS in front of my Savage 60 but it makes a very little difference..

 

[LSD-Studio]

settings were something like:

gain: 2:00
Bass: 2:00
Mid: 9:00
Treb: 12:00
Pre: 10:00
Master: Max
Pres: 4:00



here is it with way less presence and a different guitar:

Savage60-2

and another one with the settings somewhere between the 2 other clips:

Savage60-3

 

[gorath23]

I think I preferred the middle setting for the presence; not too dark but thicker sounding than the first clip.

 

[::XeS::]

You forgot some settings
In the lead channel the gain is the sum of GAIN and LEAD.
Hi-Range suppressor? Bright? Lead Boost? Depth boost?

The first clip is very good and also the last one!

 

[LSD-Studio]

fuck, I've told you I haven't played much with it .....

gain was 11:00
all buttons in
Hi Supress : 10:00

how do you set the gain and drive and the hi-sup?

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

Sounds very nice already, I also like the first and last clips the most (I think the ideal tone would lie between those two... the first one is a bit too much with aggressive highend, the last then sounds a little too tame in comparison).

I remember when I tried out a Savage 120 I couldn't really get a satisfying rhythm tone out of it (or better said: the tone was lacking compared to the Invader 100 that stood next to it), but when playing a lead on the Savage I was like "OMFG!!!". Then I tried to get an equally nice leadsound out of the Invader and didn't succeed either.

Conclusion: Please post some lead guitar clips!

 

[LSD-Studio]

here's a clip with a different gain/drive-Ratio to get more saturation (br00thulz)

Savage60-4

 

[::XeS::]

I use all the buttons in, the gain at 11:00/12:00 and the lead at 12:00/15:00. I used to use the Hi-range very low near 0 and the mids high but now trying your settings, the savage sounds better, less boxy and more aggressive.

 

[KeithTidd]

i like the 3rd and 4th savage clip the best.

 

[::XeS::]

uhm.....which cab did you use for these clips? Engl 4x12?
