Trying out RedWirez Mesa 4x12

[Mattayus]

Some mid-paced death metal to give these impulses a try.
Preamp was ReValver. Only double-tracked. I used SiR2 and stretched them 2% just to get a slightly darker/larger overtone (so 102%).

Boring track is boring, but it's just a bunch of riffs I've been using to test tones/drums for a death metal project I'm starting.

EDIT: after this thread evolving somewhat into me comparing different ones, here are all 3 tests put in one place for convenience:

RedWirez

Burny

Both Blended

nice! what are you using for the amp?

 

[RichMinerva]

He clearly said revalver

Dude, not only do I like the way it sounds, I LIKE this freakin' song. Guitars are sick (That's a GREAT freakin tone ya got there.) drums are sick.......ahhhhh yeah!!!!!!! Not much else I can say, it kills.

Thanks man, it's just a bunch of riffs thrown together but it's slowly forming into a song. I guess it won't feel like one until vocals are on it.
Tbh, I originally started this project using Burny's free mesa impulses, and they fit the mix/style a whole lot better than the RedWirez, but I do still like them and will no doubt use them in other mixes. It's hard finding the balance with these, but they are great quality.

can u share the IR file?

 

[Mattayus]

No, it's a commercial release so has to be bought. $9 is all it is though so it's certainly worth it.

BTW, just for comparison purposes, this was my original "go-to" impulse for this project - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4128689/Just North of Hell/Burny Test.mp3

Thoughts? Preferences? I'm actually starting to prefer the RedWirez the more I hear it... It's tighter.

EDIT: I'll combine the two with Lecab, see where that gets us...

 

[gurkanisevic]

where can I buy them? Can you add a link for them? Thanks...

also, here's a tone of both cabs blended - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4128689/Just North of Hell/Blend.mp3
KACHING! Monster tone. Updated first post with all 3 mixes so you can decide which sounds best.

 

[BeneGuitar01]

I personally would be happy if I could get to close to any of those drum or guitar sounds. Not a HUGE difference between the guitar sounds but if given the choice I think the combo sounds the best.

awesome tone. curious to know which exact file was used, so mic and position with the redwirez?
which guitar was used?

 

[Mattayus]

It's my 7 string LTD M-307 with EMG 81-7 and 60-7.
As for the exact impulses, it's burny's new mesa ones, BL Joint_dc, blended with RedWirez Mesa 4x12, SM57, capedge-0.5in on one side, and capedge-1in on the other, just to make the tones a little different. Blended in equal proportions with LeCab

[Mattayus]
