Mesa Quad rig

Here's a quick clip I made, (Unforgiven II):
- no eq'ing, just a little compression on the clean guitar.

VHT power stage in the clip?

yup.

also used some delay from the Korg DL8000r

Ow yeah! How did you record it?

For the distortion parts I placed an Audix i5 mic in front of the V30 speaker, although the G12T-75 sounds good in the mix, it's a bit shrill on its own. (Bogner has 2x V30 and 2x G12T-75 placed in an X-pattern)

For the clean parts I used the same as above plus I added another track from the record out of the quad, it just kills for clean sounds. I thought I was gonna have some phase issues but it turned out pretty cool. Bit of panning and that's it.

The guitar used is my ESP SV Standard:

BKP Nailbomb in the bridge, Dimarzio Humbucker from hell in the neck + JE1000 booster

that guitar picture is freakin iconic man. though not for nothin, the nailbomb doesnt have enough output that you need a booster?

That was a nice clip man. Your playing is as good as your gear selection. Spot on...

Good stuff...gotta get those B-bends in there though haha. Great tone though, sounds good man. Nice stuff bud, keep the clips comin!

EDIT: That SV looks killer by the way, I really like those guitars....ESP rules IMO

-AJH

Is that Korg DL8000R a good delay unit? What are your opinions on it?


That is classic that it says HAIR METAL. :lol:

Heh, sorry the playing isn't 1:1 with the original. The DL8000r is absolutely the best delay unit I've ever used. It also has beautiful chorus and flanger sounds. I'm thinking about selling the lexicon since the dl8000r does everything so much better.

I had the Alexi Laiho -thing going on for some time, had to get one. Turned out it's a great booster and doesn't add any hiss so I decided to keep it.

The cleans tend to distort effortlessly on the nailbomb but luckily the HFH is has so much lower output that it works perfect for cleans even with the booster.

thanks, Neemo!!
i like it very much!

really nice clip! quad is a great pre, thanks for sharing.

hey man nice clips!! is that the bogner ubercab? if so, how do you like it? i'm thinking about getting one.

I haven't had the chance to try that many cabs but so far uberkab is the best one I've ever heard. Had a Marshall 1960A before this one, it absolutely destroys the marshall, no contest. The only gripe is about the wheels, actually the fact that they are so small. Luckily they are detachable from the rails so I guess you could easily replace them with bigger ones.

The mix of V30's and G12T-75's works flawlessly, when micing I still prefer the V30 though.

****, you got me GASing for my friends quad that he wants to sell.

Would look cool in my rack above the mk 4 though

Wouldn't that be redundant though?

yeah i've heard a lot of people complaining about the wheels.

i'm between the ubercab, an orange 4x12 and a mesa traditional 4x12. still not sure what to get though

Made a new clip, check it out, it's in the first post.

Very redundant yes, but GAS, you know....
