Man that is ALOT of gain but it tracks so well.

Thanks for the clip and great mixing and playing

Thanks man. Yeah I’m still dialing it in. I have a tendency to go too far with gain and then I’ll back it off and be amazed at how much better it sounds!

 

[Mad Axe]

Yeah! I find the balance is kind of delicate but I’ve been getting a lot of different tones. I also love having the option to go back to a stock 800. How do you set yours up?

On mine my treble/presence is a little lower, I have the bass maxed without the bass boost turned on and I run the right added gain control wide open. Everything else is the same.

Badass riffage! & the tone is bout damn near perfect to me

 

[Techdeth]

Congrats bro !

 

[JCDenton6]

Congrats on the score, that's one badass sounding amp, still want one of these bad boys even though I'm smitten with my EVH stealth 100, the Metalhead modded 800 is still the tone I've been chasing for the longest

 

[CliffHydro]

Nice clip. Congrats.

 

[Devin]

Sounds fucking awesome

 

[NewWorldMan]

Awesome. Glad it’s working out for you! I’ve heard tales of how some were noisy and etc. That one is dead silent, though. I used the gate on the minimum setting, but didn’t feel like it needed it honestly.

 

[LPMojoGL]

Dang, that sounds goooood.

 

[Beyond Black]

Sounds killer all around, great job.

Just the amp and a couple FF riffs here. Boosting the front end with a Dirty Tree. I read that Dino used some type of Boss to boost during the album, plus he backed off the gain and quad tracked.

I was on the fence about posting this but since we are talking Metalheads, here is a clip of mine from an album I’m in the middle of recording. It’s just raw drums and guitar, no EQ or processing yet. The guitar is a ‘72 SG Custom with a Bareknuckle Aftermath going straight into the Marshall.

From Talking with him about Demanufacture he used Mesa Oversized Recto Cabs & an EMG 81 no boost. He did back off the gain for 2 tracks but pushed it back up for 2 as well.

A lot of people don’t talk about it but he used that amp on this record too. The mix is much more raw than any of the Fear Factory albums and it’s probably closer to what the amp sounded like in real life.

Exactly. He was the entire reason i wanted a Modded Marshall Back in the day.

Ok I retracked this song with the Metalhead. I can probably do a solo'd out thing too if ya'll want to hear it outside of a mix.

Is this direct in to some Fane IR's? If so I'ma need them IR's lol

No lol that’s just the name of my project. I was using GGD Cali for IRs, which iirc is a Mesa oversized cab? Maybe just a regular one.
