Workflow with ir’s can be ok or a pain. My results with ir’s have been just ok. Tried a bunch of different ones. I still like micing a speaker better. It is nice being able to swap different speaker irs at the mix stage, though I don’t find that much diffence after some eqing.
I dunno, he was all over maimstream radio. He figured out radio friendly hooks where others were trying to see how many inversions of diminshed arpeggios they could fit in a solo.
If it wasn’t for Satch we probably would not have had Cliffs of Dover on the radio.
I am not a big Satch fan...
Listen to Sails Of Charon, Catch Your Train, Pictured Life etc and that is Yngwie. I have been into Uli since getting Virgin Killers in 9th or tenth grade. Yngwie came out much later and while the first few albums are killer, I thought to myself, I have heard all this before…
The way Satch would have been influential /genius is in the songwriting and accessibility to instrumental guitar music to non players.
What I mean is that the instrumental rock song becoming mainstream was imo due to him. Sure there were a few instrumentals prior to him getting some radio...
Mostly because that was the only option there was. As you know amps back then didn’t have fx loops and really wasn’t much in the way of effects anyway. I don’t think Ed kept the echoplexs once he started slaving etc. That is what led me to slaving back in the day, trying to run delay with my...
I normally have the drive up just a tiny bit. But basically level on ten, tone in the middle and drive just cracked. It was always annoying turning it off and having all this bass and then stepping on it and it all going away. Had to mod it to not do that.
I actually like them biased colder. Raised the bias on my Triple Recto and it doesn’t sound as good. Still need to lower it back down one of these days.
Wish I still had that 5150. Friend got one after he heard mine. His never sounded as good. He was pretty disappointed in it.
When the uber was first released, reading the description at the time was all there was to go on. Sounded like what I wanted, the XTC had been out awhile with the mythical greatness, none around but west coast and mags. I probably got the first Uber in Ohio. Wizard was not in production, so...
Nah I hate the Bogner headcold, hair around the notes sound and their feel. Dialed in right for me is with the power switch set to off. 😁
I thought the XTC would be the one, after a year and a half of trying, nope. It’s been 20 years now with my Wizard, perfect for me. Some guys like em...
