First quick test with the Peavey Rockmaster

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

So, I got my Rockmaster today (thanks, Jevil! ) and did a really quick test clip: http://www.tainted-studio.com/misc/RockMaster1.mp3

I think I went for a bit too scooped sound, and the preamp would really benefit from a Tubescreamer, but other than that, this unit seems to have shitloads of potential. The recording chain was as follows:

LTD EC-400 w/ 81 on the bridge -> RockMaster Ultra channel -> Profire2626 -> Revalver MKIII with the 5150 power amp (though that didn't make much difference in the end) and RiR for impulses.

Hey Jarkko, pretty cool man; I agree about it being a bit too scooped, but it definitely has the Peavey sound (for better or for worse ), and as you say, potential indeed! Gotta say, though, the ring of that snare is rubbing me the wrong way (especially on the 16th note fills )

Haha, don't worry, I didn't pay attention to anything besides the guitar tone Shit, I gotta get a DIY tubescreamer now, and I'm already completely broke

Sounds pretty good, aside from the scoopedness

Guitars sounds totaly great, like it a lot!! The loud drums reduce the good overall impression a bit. Nevertheless..very good job!

Cool! I always liked this preamp... a friend of mine had one several years ago. I dig the very "dry" character. Well done and congrats! I'm curious what you achive when you take the time to explore the possibilities.

Your guitar tone is amazing!

Thats very nice tone you got there I wouldn't change anything appart from the previously mentioned mids.

Very nice tone. Would totally work for stuff à la In Flames.
