Alrighty, got my one day off, so here we go
This is my JCA20A/Mesa Standard head quad tracked.

I believe that the 50/100 watter sounds very similar, except with more gain.
Pretty cool, though kinda mid-overload IMO, clashes with the bass (don't you have a Mesa Stiletto/Traditional cab though? Cuz the Standard is actually the Recto Oversized)
Yup, I scooped it to hell and back. Here's quite a different tone from the JCA20H:

It's not Rose of Sharyn, but close
A bit sludgy, could use more brightness (and the level is a bit low IMO), but a cool grind to it, and that riff when the verse kicks in is sick-nasty
(is this an Ola song? I haven't been keeping up with what he uploads, so at least it's new to me
)

love that clip, and it shows what the amp is capable of in experienced hands. Still makes me want one lol
Yeah, that's pretty rad - again, a bit middy, but Ryan is definitely a talented feller

Quick and dirty clip I just did with really old strings... NO processing besides gate. Volume was veeery low.
Ibby 7 string with DiMarzio Evolution PU - OD808 - 25W Rev Jr. Pro - HB 2x12 - SM57
Maybe not the Setup you're after - but if you like, send me some short DI clip and I can reamp it a few times with different settings.
I can definitely tell the volume was low, and it's a bit whoomp-y in the lows, but pretty cool man!
Marcus, a bit OT, but did you ever get around to doing that 81TW/89 shootout you mentioned you wanted to do?
Hey Hugo, I still haven't gotten around to getting my LTD set up yet (I know, I know
), but over the holidays I definitely will, and then get on that shootout!
Just made this for my own entertainment 'cause I wanted to test my new axe on something:

And no need to comment on the song choice - the guitar in question is a black Explorer so it was quite obvious wasn't it
Pretty cool dude, though the bass guitar is kinda muddy, which overpowers the guitar tone - I can hear potential though!
Hey Marcus you got lucky, band got done early tonight.
So here is the Krank, with some photos of the micing technique. This is a 50/50 blend of 2 mics. Audix i5 and a 57. 2 different speakers the 57 is straight on, and the Audix is at an angle. See photos.....
Settings on the Krank:
Sweep 7
Bass 5 1/2
Midrange 3
Treble 8
Master 3
Gain 8
Boost Off
Fx Loop Off
TS Settings:
Gain 3
Level 12:00
Tone 12:00
The 609 in this photo was not used. I tracked it but it didn't sound right with the i5 and the 57
This was done with a Mesa 2x12 with Celestion v30s

I was having some issues with Slate and the Midi on this track. I need to re-download it as I think the Midi for the drums I have is corrupted, there is also a small spot where the bass drops out for a sec. Ignore those parts 99% of the song is here.
Slightly buzzy, but a killer grind, which is the definitive Krank sound IMO - tough call, as most of the Jet City clips have been just a bit too furry in the mids for my taste, but I feel like the higher wattage models (without EL84's) wouldn't suffer as much from that; I'll probably just end up going for whichever I can get the better price on, thanks for the clips guys!
