Woaaahhhh that's cool. Now I want them all please :O)

Dino sounds very in yer face, love it! Meathead a bit smoother but also very cool. From these recordings, the Hulk mod really stands out as very tight and mean, think it's hard to play, but with someone who can pull it off, it's amazing

Now we want PICS PLEASE!!!!

I have HOURS of listening ahead of me

You might want to vol match the clips that would be better. They all sounded good.

I did some minimal normalization last night. This whole ordeal didn't take me too long. It's pretty hard to match levels exactly when you have guys tweaking volume knobs while you're compensating with preamp gain

 

[MrDan666]

AWESOME!!

Thanks so much for making all these clips, its great for us guys who couldn't be there at the Ampfest

 

[stephen sawall]

[Superunknown]

Thanks guys!!! Psychodave's Marshall Cab with Blackback 30's is the shit!

Haha! Ain't that the truth! Excellent job of capturing some cool clips under difficult circumstances. Nice job.

That Hulk Mod sounds....INCREDIBLE!! *PUN INTENDED*

Seriously.....what a great tone.

 

[carl roa]

Wow, very cool.

FYI, my cab is loaded wth Blackback 30's.

Your whole rig sounded great ... thanks for bringing it down. Really enjoyed jamming through it.

 

[hopkinWFG]

Meathead sounds good !! but can we have a raw clip of the bones tone? of its highest gain mode and plexitone mode?

I'm the hack playing the 3rd Meathead clip Think i used the PRS McCarty with Rosewood neck. My 2nd favorite Dokken solo at the 3 minute mark, fudged the end.

That's Ralph playing the Hulk clip. That Blackback cab just rules on the recording. You'll notice there's a bit of a Boss Flanger being added, that was me stepping on it.

Awesomely Good player you are !! but hell i am hoping the bones would sounded out in the list too... Hulk is "%^@)JJ**!! " aggressive !! Larry amplification is another kinda tone that kills it's the tightness and dryness to it ....very mid digging !

Thanks. I played the Bones and loved it. It sounded similiar to the sound we had dialed in on the Meathead clips it hought. The Hulk was great but i had a hard time playing on it, i didn't get to tweak it at all though just plugged in and started playing. I played the Hulk on the Mills 4x12 and the clip you hear up top was recorded on the old Marshall 4x12. Again, IMHO it sounded much better on the Marshall 4x12.

I agree. The hulk is voiced for a marshallesque cabinet.

Damn Greg, you work fast!

Thanks again for your hard work doing this!

DAve Friedman, I will be posting pics later and you will see what Greg had to work with as he was shoe-horned into the back of a drum kit working off a bench getting sandblasted for 6+ hours.


I agree that the Fortin stuff sounds better imo with the marshall cabs and wished that the Mills was loaded the same.
