Members Wizard of Ozz Posted December 11, 2007 Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 Very quick clip cause I know people want to hear the KT88's. 2 tracks panned hard right and left with an MD421 Not bad for my first shot at recording the amp. First attempt! Sounds great. Really massive... the palm mutes sound huge and saturated but still tight.Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First attempt! That sounds really freakin' good! Sounds like there's a ton of low end going on, which is always a good thing. {censored}. Now I want a Nitro.

Yeah it's a massive sounding amp man! I would deffy cutt he lows so the bass guitar has room to breathe but I think this demonstrates the KT88's nicely.

That last section is G# I use an 8-string haha. This is a new song we just wrote yesterday so it's not the tightest clip and the tasteless wanking could be tastier but hey better than waiting for the weekend!

They would compliment each other awesome though thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dimebag11 Posted December 11, 2007 Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 you think so? i wouldn't say it has more. the cobra gets pretty dang saturated. CH2 on the Cobra is pretty dry......the Lead channel is saturated though. The Cobra is great because it has 2 completely different gain channels.....if you get tired of the mids in CH2 just throw it on CH3 and rip out some Recto riffage!

Members Dimebag11 Posted December 11, 2007 Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 The Cobra is one hell of an amp....I will own another, soon...very soon. Right now I'm just looking to find the perfect Marshall type hard rock, rock, metal amp....hopefully the Splawn fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dethshaft Posted December 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 you think so? i wouldn't say it has more. the cobra gets pretty dang saturated. I think maybe I am referring to the more squishy feel of the Splawn compared to the insane tightness of the Cobra. Not that the Nitro isn't tight, they're just very different beasts I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are a bit more aggressive sounding than my stuff. This section of song I recorded is our lighter stuff, but we bring teh BR00tLeZZ too! A Splawn Nitro would bludgeon people with your sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dimebag11 Posted December 11, 2007 Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 I wouldn't say the Cobra is tighter than the Nitro. I've never played a Nitro but, I've heard many clips....IMO not even the VHT UL is as tight as the 2nd Channel on the Cobra, that channel is an aggressive and tight mofo!

Members Dethshaft Posted December 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 I wouldn't say the Cobra is tighter than the Nitro. I would just say they are both different sounding, I think both the Cobra and the Nitro are capable of delivering massive low end punch while remaining tight, just different voicings in doing so.

Members magh8 Posted December 11, 2007 Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 the cobra is a pretty tight amp I just liked the voicing of the powerball better for what I do.what I do know is I am liking the voicing on the nitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen:thu:Can you dial in any Alice in Chains, Skiw Row type tones out of the Nitro? Also...can it pull off EVH at all? If it can do rock tones really well as well as METAL tones really well....I might be sold.My only gripe with the Cobra (other than build quality) is the fact that it can NOT do anything other than metal....but, it's very good at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only gripe with the Cobra (other than build quality) is the fact that it can NOT do anything other than metal....but, it's very good at that As a huge AiC fan I can honestly say this amp would rule playing JC's sludgy riffs. He has that low-mid sound that this amp just excels at. Thick tone is what this amp excels at. I am almost positive it can pull off Skid Row but EVH, I never entered that world of EVH'dom so i'm not even sure what to look for. I will say I like my Nitro much more than the 5150, 6505+ and the 5150III which I played the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I decide the ProMod doesn't "do it" for me...I doubt the Nitro will. We'll see...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members magh8 Posted December 11, 2007 Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 this makes me want to call derek tomorow and order it.what keeps stopping me is I would have to sell my powerball first but I need it for shows coming up and can't wait a month or longer for the build....
