LANEY VH100 R Clips

[MetalSound]

I just bought a Laney VH 100R used for around 500 Euro and today I recorded some clips. These clips were recorded with a very cheap guitar tuned to b through a marshall cab loaded with celestion greenbacks (although they are not green but they are called g12m...maybe someone has an idea what the story to these speakers is?!).

Anyway, these are the results:

1 x SM57, no eq:

same but with Waves-RenEq:

all 4 tracks same eq:

Here is the eq-setting:

Sounds alright I suppose. Needs some work though, it sounds as though you're playing through the neck pickup . Cool riff though when you start doing the trem picking at the end.

Sure, the equailizing is just to show a little bit of what can be done with the raw tone. And I remember a thread loooooong time ago when somebody wanted to hear a raw tone from a Laney VH 100R.

The riff unfortunately is not mine.

It´s Amon Amarth.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of pickups are you using? Kinda sounds like my guitar, that's why I'm asking....

 

[MetalSound]

The guitar was just a Les Paul Custom copy made by Keiper. Absolutely no-name. I bought it from ebay for 90 Euro NEW!!!

So in other words my $800 guitar with $200 pickups sounds like a $100 knock off. Great

that's super bassy, i agree... did you use the bridge pickup??? i can't really make fair judgements on it based on this tone. it sounds like it has potential though.

 

[MetalSound]

Yes, I used the bridge pickup. Bass at 10 at the Laney, Mids at 4-5. Maybe I´ll post a clip with less bass tomorrow if I find the time.

I found the time right now:

Bass=3, Mids=0
Still pulled out some bass and mids at mixdown. One riff is played with the cheap LP copy the other one also with a cheap guitar loaded with EMG 707. Guess which....
