Hilligan Modified XTC Clips

[aeroic]

Here's the Randall XTC modified by Jeff Hilligan, to get the AiC Jerry tone!

I used my Suhr Pro Modern M1, with the XTC in the M4, powered by the Randall RT2/50 w/ 6550s run into my Grendel Dead Room iso cab w/ a G12K85 and mic'ed by 2 SM57s. I am using a BB preamp to boost the XTC just a bit. The Gain on the BB is at 9 oclock, the treble at 10 oclock, the bass at 2 oclock, and the volume at 11 oclock.

The drums are just a groove w/ EZDrummer I threw in there for fun. Here are 2 MP3s...one w/ just the rhythm guitars, and one w/ a lead and drums over the rhythm.

cool

 

[muudrock]

Sounds good!
Man, I was waiting to hear Lane Staley jump in any second. A lot of AIC flavor in that clip.

Added bass really quickly...

Me too man. I love it in my iso cab for sure!!!

Tracks fucking well....that's w/ 2 SM57s on it. One near the center of the dust cap ... perpindicular w/ it...and one at a 45 degree angle off where the dust cap / cone meet..

Feels so nice to have my studio back up and running!

Eric, you are the clipmaster.

Eric, you are the clipmaster.

Thanks man. This clip cemented my love for the K100 and K85. I finally got the tone coming out of my cab in "tape."

Hrm...4x12 w/ K100s....sounds like a fun idea to me!

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

Sounds great Eric. I guess I need to venture back into that module and do a dual proto of it!

Please, please, please do this!! I guarantee I'll buy one if you do this!!!! PLEASE!!!!

Man, the more and more I listen to these clips, the more and more I've got to have this module. Please Jeff, do a dual Eggie version of this, PLEASE! Even if you don't put it in production, I'll pay for a custom one off. Jerry Cantrell is such a huge influence on my playing and I love Bogners to death, this is totally up my alley!!!

I can do a Randall single and put a black faceplate and our creme knobs on it. They are going for cheap and the mod is only $100 for the work and the above mentioned items.

I'll do the write up, if you send me one for free.

I got a good idea for a name too... Instead of playing on the XTC theme, what about "AIC" (Alice in Chains) instead.

****************************************

EG-AIC

You want dirt? You got it. Lets face it, the 90's Grunge era was great for coffee, but not for guitar tones. Most flannel-clad guitarists were miserably content with a Big-Muff and a Fender Mustang. But one brave soul from Seattle decided to go on a rampage and keep it real... really HEAVY, and started using custom shop German-boutique gear WAY before boutique was even considered cool. If your memories of 90's guitar tones leaves you drowning in sea of sorrow, cheer up – the EG-AIC will put a smile on your once-goateed face.

Channel A will go in a box, down in a hole, or sail down that damn river. Your choice. Pick one.

Channel B delivers even more of that pure, unadulterated grind. With more saturation, gain, and midrange, it'll be sure to rattle them bones.
