Krank Rev Jr clips (quick mic vs impulse)

[J.DavisNJ]

Oh also...

I'm not sure the amp would be your cup of tea with that said Marcus. Very woody and classic Marshall tone, but not the first amp I would use for tight metal probably. It's just voiced different. We'll see though, maybe you will dig!

Only one way to find out buddy, get crackin'! What ribbon are you gonna use, btw?

Haha will do. I'll probably play some Death riffs or something.

Cascade Fathead-II for the ribbon y0. Cool mic. Maybe I haven't experimented enough, but like most ribbons it's extremely dark on it's own. To the point of saying "How would this ever be usable!?"

But, as soon as you add the dynamic in the mix it all comes together. It's like they were made for eahcother.

Yeah, I've been jones'ing for one of the fatheads for awhile now...

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Clip one is superior. The only thing is it's a bit flubby. Cool riffz though!

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the cheap ribbons dude. Seizure. has one of those T.bone ribbons and gets great results.

No joke man, Lasse reamped some tracks for a project I was working on with a SM57 and a m160 ribbon and he swore up and down about how much of a difference it makes blended in - he wasn't joking! A Fathead-II is in my near future indeed.

if I had to guess I would say the 1st one is impulse

same here...the 2nd sounded a little more "open" and organic to my ears, but who knows nowadays...

 

[J.DavisNJ]

I'm diggin' #2 actually...

Clip 1 is the mic'd cab, clip 2 is the impulse. I'm not really sure which one I like better. The impulse sounds more open and "standard" in a way, and the mic'd version is a bit clouded and muddier, but I may be a bit biased towards the mic'd version anyway because I've been looking forward to micing for so long, haha.

 

[tobin1]

What impulse were you using? I actually liked the impulse clip a lot.

 

[006]

Haha, I was wrong lolz. In my defense the impulse's creator probably spent time with the mic position whereas you said you didn't really move the mic around for the cab so...HAH.

Srsly what impulse is that though?

I can't remember who made it, but it's called "Thisone". A very good impulse indeed. The fact that anyone got fooled at all says a lot for the quality.

 

[Niksounds]

personal opinion, i like better the second clip.

 

[006]

ThisOne = GuitarHack IIRC?

~006

 

[MarkG]

ThisOne = GuitarHack IIRC?

~006

+1, answer would be good

 

[Metaltastic]

Yes, it's a GH impulse

 

[006]

Ula, did you use the line out or the fx send?

[Felix Neumann]

Awesome sound and really cool riffing, dude This helps me for my decision. I also play with the thought to buy this small, nasty 20 watt amp. Sounds great!

 

[Rex Rocker]

The second clip sounded amazing to me. You're not helping my GAS for one of these, man!
