My dual sound like shit?

[Tachy]

I'm not satisfied with my dual tone, I don't know what is the problem, any help would be really apreciated....http://www.untouchablefeeling.net/Mesa2.mp3

Need more mid imo...
Try to put more dustcap on your mic placement first, eq after.
Except this point, sound ok for me...

Btw, what cab do you use?

 

[Tachy]

Mesa recto std cab

 

[lolzgreg]

I hear A LOT of phasing... what's your cabinet placement like in the room? How far is your microphone from the cabinet? How close are you to the dustcap of the speaker? What microphone are you using? What are your Recto settings?

 

[Ermz]

Does it sound this way in the room? What are your settings and mic position like? How long since the head has been retubed?

 

[Tachy]

The head has fresh new tubes, winged C 6l6 and electro harmonics in the pre, I use a single sm57 pointed not at the center of the cone , the setting was :
Gain : 12:30
mIDS : 10
tREBLE : 11
presence : 11
bass : 10,30
master channel : 9,30
channel 2 in modern mode

I don't think the amp itself sound like shit but as mentioned earlier it sounds a little dull. Try moving in the microphone closer to the center of the speaker(EDIT as analgrinder already suggested )

 

[Tachy]

Yes, I'll post another clips, I don't know what the fuck I have with my dual...probably she hate me!!hahah

 

[AllanD]

I actually don't think it sounds that bad.

I actually don't think it sounds that bad.

The problem is this...I want that it sound good, not quite good.
Another clip coming soon

 

[Tachy]

Ok, I recorded new guitars tracks...

[Tachy]

How is now the sound, better ?

 

[::XeS::]

Better, but still buried a little. I don't know how the dual works, but try with the mic more on the center of the cone and a little more presence and less bass. Did you use Tubescreamer in front of it?

Yes I used my maxon od9, I hear not the esigence to put more presence, probably the clip lacks of some mids....

 

[2000ContourSVT]

It sounds to me like the room is the problem. It's dull and distant sounding. I'd try recording in another room if possible.

 

[Tachy]

mmm, Yes I'll try to record in another room

 

[diafebus]

use a high pass filter over 100hz, and you need little more mid treble.
by the way the riff is great!

 

[kaomao]

you gotta crank the dual really loud to get the mid range rocking as Andy said
on mine I have to do it

 

[Tachy]

Ok, This is another clip!http://www.untouchablefeeling.net/Mesa333.mp3
