"Modern" Metal Clip! (Mesa Boogie Mark IV)

[gibson5413]

I received a request from a froumite at the HC boards to do a song from the band Disturbed so I thought a I would share. I didn't use a boost at all on the guitars and thought it turned out pretty good. I never really listened to them until I recorded the clip.

There are a couple of mistakes seeing as how I just tried this out tonight for the first time. I might try to do the whole tune including an improvised lead.

What do you think of the guitar tone? I noticed that it sounds best if you turn it loud. I know the mix needs some help too. Either way, here it is:

Turn the guitars up, and make them abit brighter I'd say. Great character in the tone though.

Great tone. I'd have to agree with turning the guitars up, but that bass sound is great. What did you use for it (the bass)?

I've had a few people tell me it could have used a bit more top end. thanks for listening!

A Yamaha bass into a Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI. Plugged directly into my mic preamp. Absolutely no mastering was done on the clip. The guitar tone is pretty much identical to what I was hearing in the room. The Mark IV records very easily.
