I like it, definitely clinical and cutting. In terms of what you are going for...The best tone that I've experienced for that cold, futuristic "sterile" metal rhythm sound is Tommy Victor (Prong) Cleansing era. Boosted Marshall Valvestate combined with playing his style / hands....Just killer.

I didn't think I would like it from your description, that word alone is usually a dealbreaker. I liked it though, so I had to go back and listen to those bands. Hell yeah I think you could pull it off, not sure how much of that is hands or amp though, lol.

Yep, sterile to me doesn't sound good...kinda boring, no character...while HiFi can sound good....depending.

Clip sounds good to me, for what the OP is going for.

You nailed what you are looking for. I think it will sound massive in a mix. That said, the clarity i look for, you did better. But i would miss the warmth personally.

Post a clip when you get it in a mix though. Bet it will be some great tunes.

Perhaps I missed something, what amp? Is this that Katana head?

Marshall 8100,8200 and VS100 should be reissued
Marshall's tightest and most brutal metal amps

They sound really thin next to a modern amp though

Not when both guitarists play the same amps live
Duh?

This isn't my favorite amp or tone at all, but it sounds like it would work for the genre that you mentioned for sure

It's a really fun eq curve to run. Standing in front of the amp at peak volumes is almost surreal because your body and ears are getting hammered by speaker flexing palm mutes and power chords that slice like a guillotine but there is zero harshness, wincing or piercing going on. Like standing in the fire and not getting burned. You hear and feel everything evenly.
I actually drowned out a JCM800 doing something similar to this with a band back in the late 90s.

There are a few of us that regularly do this. I understand the harshness you speak of very well. This is why i think it is important to eq your amp when you have it at volume. It will sound weird at low volumes, but when it is there, it makes sense. You have obviously taken it further than what my friends do. But like i said, i really look forward to hearing that tone in a full band
