RAG MEN cover (ENGL SE 6L6, Torpedo VB-101)

[Djabthrash]

Since i always jam with that song by RAG MEN (hardcore/metal/punk band feat. members from MERAUDER/MADBALL/EARTH CRISIS) called "Insomnia", i decided to record a quick guitar cover and see how my guitar tone works for it since my own songs can be somewhat similar in terms of style at times.

So basically this is the original mix, with the original guitars, and i added my own guitars, 2 guitars (one middy, one scooped), hard-panned on each side. I couldn't remove the original guitars so you still hear the original guitars slightly in my version, but then again my guitars are predominant. I used Voxengo's MSED plugin to mute the sides, it sure helped but you can still hear some of the original guitars.

I'm still using my trusted EMG81/85-loaded Schecter Hellraiser C1-FR, plugged directly into ENGL SE 6L6 with the Torpedo VB-101, which is a hardware loadbox+cab/mic/miking simulator (see other related threads here : http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/...-101-hardware-loadbox-cab-mic-miking-sim.html)

Keep in mind the clip is sloppily played, with some awful mistakes at times This is just a tone test for kicks, nothing meant to be released or anything like that.

Clips (one with the full mix, one with guitars only) and detailed signal chain info can be found here :

Let me know what you guys think.

EDIT : by the way, this time i went with the following cab/mic combo :

-cab : Marshall 4X12 Slash Signature V30 with open back
-mic : BeyerDynamic M160N (ribbon)

In the Torpedo i like the open back version of that cab better than the regular one, which i found surprising at first.

In the Torpedo i like the open back version of that cab better than the regular one (which still sounds very good), which i found surprising at first.

Awesome! I really dig terror and ragmen so this was cool. Good playing! Jorge is one of the best HC vocalists around doesn't get the credit he deserves.

+10000 !!! He's one of my favourite singers !!!

I might do a "no questions" cover or some new Merauder stuff someday soon (including vocals maybe ).

Check this out btw (made by Mitts himself for me to learn the riffs) :

That's cool man. I believe my drummer knows him pretty well. Very cool that he would share that with you.

Is your friend Mike Justian ?

Mitts is definitely a super cool dude, and a killer guitar player.
