help me to improve this reamping tone

[lelahel]

can you help me to improve this tone, for me it is too fizzy and not tight enough
this is a reamping of lasse mago DI:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29226335/lss4.mp3
is there too much gain? too much treble? wrong mic position?
what should i go for to improve this tone?
gear used: mesa dual rect 2 ch, cab marshall 1960 with v30
or maybe it is the cab ?

Sounds fine to me!

Have you surgically removed any annoying frequencies with post EQ?

yes HP and LP

 

[bryan_kilco]

But, aside from HP/LP, did you cut any of the areas that seem harsh or annoying to you in between the HP/LP?

First you need to tell us what you used to record this track. What preamp and mic did you use? Changing mics, combining 2 mics together or even using the same mic but with a different preamp (if you have the variety) can all help you get the tone your after. That said, even with just a 57 you should be able to fine tune the tone by moving it away from the dust cap and/or angling it more off axis.

I think its a good tone.
But you can improve it. Dial with the amp. I think that the mic position is good, because I can't hear fizz.
Would you mind posting some pictures?

I think it sounds good man, just give it a bit more gain as it's not quite saturating enough I think. Listen at the chuggy riff about 30 seconds in and you'll hear it sounds a bit dry.

i used a mesa rect 2 ch, and a marshall 1960lead cab (very old cab) with v30
i used 57 on axis between cone and dust cap position 1inch from grill cloth

i will use a second mic in another speaker (of course move it to avoid phase cancellation), i can also use a 6505 did the mesa and 6505 tones will feet together?
and add a little bit more gain of course

here is a new reamping:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29226335/lss7.mp3
added more gain, and a c414 mic to the 57
i read some where in this forum that 57 and 414 are like butter and bread
what you think is the tone better now?

 

[lelahel]

adding some 8khz to the tone:
