Man, I'm really sorry to hear this dude. I hope everything works out well for the kids sake first and of course, yours too.

Originally posted by fragglerick I predict that by page 8 there will be conversations about amps. What brand and model?

This ought to be... long.

I think Dual Recto's are excellent amps. I believe there's a generation of old players who are brainwashed into thinking these amps only get buzzy tones.

Originally posted by sah5150 How do you know those are the real setting? Steve Because it was written on the Internet, and everything on the Internet is true.

Originally posted by sah5150 Sure. Here ya go: Schecter Hellraiser 7 string on bridge pickup (EMG 707) -> Keeley-modded TS-9 -> Drive - 10 o'clock Tone - 10:30 Level - 1 o'clock 5150II -> Rhythm Channel Bright in Crunch in Pre - 7.4 Low - 6.8 High - 6.3 Post - 3.4 Resonance - 8.2 Presence - 8.5 Mojave 4x12 w/G12H30s -> Audix I5 -> SM57 -> Dude, how are you going to patent those settings if you keep giving them out?

Originally posted by SlyStrat Huh? The pedal changes the true tone. None or all should have a pedal. It depends what you're trying to accomplish. In this case, I believe Steve is trying to find the best "metal" tone out of each amp. If it was a "what amp sounds best" then I would agree, sticking a pedal in front of one to give it an advantage would be "unfair."

Originally posted by SlyStrat Its not a fair race if you used a pedal. I think it's "fair." On a somewhat related note, I'd like to hear that TS in front of the rhythm channel of the UL.

Originally posted by sah5150 Sounds good... I just have this feeling that there is some mix/combination of these amps that will sound amazing, but at this point, I like the individual amp clips better than the combination one we did friday... Steve I agree, although, I'm just wondering if it's not the MKIV (or UL, however, since it's not yours it might be "weird" ...) and the 5150, rather than all 3. But, that can only be determined by spending a good amount of time mixing and listening back.

Originally posted by sah5150 Wow... So you like the MKIV better than the 5150II... Interesting... I like the 5150II best as currently recorded, but I think with more high end, I'd like the VHT UL best... Steve It (MKIV) needs more top end, but I like the voicing better. It had more of a percussiveness and bark to it, which I like. The UL is at your disposal, and since it only takes a few minutes to record, we can add some presence and treble next time I'm over, and re-do it.

Originally posted by sah5150 Ok, so then you got 'em right, correct? Which did you like best again? Steve #3, which I was calling #1, then #2, then #1.

Originally posted by sah5150 It is so hard to remember now and we were mostly listening to combinations of amps, except for the UL which we recorded first. I dunno man... I just panned the two different tracks or each amp/mic left and right, got decent levels, and bounced to disk. What you are hearing in these clips sounds like what I just heard in the Mackies when I was bouncing these earlier today... Steve You can disregard that question. I had amps 1 and 3 mixed up because I was numbering them based on their order in the Firefox download manager.

Originally posted by sah5150 Ok, too funny... The results: Clip 1 = 5150II rhythm channel boosted w/modded TS-9 Clip 2 = MKIV Clip 3 = VHT UL Now... I don't like Clip 2 either, but I will say in fairness that I think the MKIV is capable of MUCH better. Didn't spend much time tweaking it, but I can hear things I think could be fixed easily... Clip 1 and 3 sound close. I think the VHT would have gotten even more votes if it'd had more high end. It seems to have more overall girth to me... Congrats to DanielRaible who posted the correct answers. That and $0.25 will getcha a cup of coffee... Thanks for playing, fellers... Steve Oh man, I really am el-stupido. I downloaded the clips in order, using Firefox, so #3 was actually listed first, then 2, then 1. I got it right, but I'm a moron for not looking at the clip names in download manager. How embarrassing...

Do these clips strike you as sounding very different than what we heard through your Mackie's?

Originally posted by Megadeth7684 Well, I just talked to ******and he said he will magically make Steve remember which clip is which. Hey, the discussions with you and your partner have no impact on the situation. No results will be provided. Good day. I SAID GOOD DAY!

I just talked to Steve. He doesn't remember which amp is which, and says he's sorry but no answers can be provided.

Originally posted by Sick Michael 1 = VHT 2 = MK4 3 = 5150 This was my first guess, then I listened more and confused myself into having no idea.

Originally posted by Bob Savage Edit: I just listened to 1 again, and there's a giveaway in it for me that I heard the other night. I think 1 is the MKIV Dang, I just heard the "giveaway" in #3 too. I still think 1 is the MKIV... ugh. I have tin ears.

Originally posted by sah5150 Interesting responses so far. I'll let this ride a bit more and post the matching amps. For what it's worth, I like Clip 1 best... Steve Edit: I just listened to 1 again, and there's a giveaway in it for me that I heard the other night. I think 1 is the MKIV

Originally posted by SteveVHT You're telling me that no one has the amp I need.... And I thought you guys had great gear... I thought we already worked this out?
