Samples ENGL SE 6L6 + Torpedo VB-101

Recorded some test guitars real quick with the last 36 Crazyfists'Bloodwork backing track i posted yesterday (direct link and info :

Made some changes to the mix i posted yesterday

Made some changes to the mix i posted on 2010-03-23
* brought the kick up a tad
* lowered the snare volume
* balanced the mix levels out

I think it sounds better (drums and overall mix are more balanced volume-wise) but still needs some improvement (further drums (incl. toms) EQ-ing, and also bass EQ-ing (maybe a tad less pick noise treble/presence should be wise), you tell me :

Also remiked through my go-to cab/mic/miking/post-EQ setups :

Sounds more dynamic/percussive/punchy/edgy and mix-ready/balanced than the BeyerDynamic M160N IMO, but i am not a huge fan of the kinda fizzy character and tone, especially for ringing open chords.

This is my fav mic so far, not as good for guitar tones mix-readiness as the SM57, but still good and i like the character and tone better (sounds more like my tone, and i love the growl).

Suffocation/All Out War/Pyrexia guitar medley (ENGL SE 6L6, Torpedo VB-101) :

Since i always jam playing those riffs from Suffocation/All Out War/Pyrexia, i decided to record a guitar tone test medley, and try some different Lead Channel & voicing combinations.

Lead 1 is the tightest and driest lead channel.
Lead 2 is more saturated, spongy and smooth. It's also a bit bassier, and the contour active switch emphasizes that.

My current tone is made using lead 1 channel since i wanna get a dry tight kind of tone, but i wanted to show that you can also get a fat spongy saturated smooth kind of tone also, using lead 2 channel.

Sorry for the sloppy playing (i was kinda high on cold fever while playing )

You guys tell me what you think.

Petit instru mélodico-cucu enregistré à Noël dernier avec ma SE 6L6 dans le Torpedo (Superior 2 pour la batterie, Trilian pour la basse).

Attention gros pains à la guitare, et titre toujours en cours d'écriture.

Dites-moi ce que vous en pensez.

sympa ))))

merci

Petit extrait fait à Noël avec le Torpedo, repris d'une compo de mon ancien groupe, Bloodwrapped (brutal/crossover/slam death metal). Attention pleins de pains à la guitare c'est une véritable boulangerie, il faut que je bosse ça

Here is a quick snippet i recorded for a new project that is very NYHC-influenced.

Guitars are sloppy as fuck.

Drums are Superior 2, Bass is Trilian VSTi.

Let me know what you think so far.

Gab"s catch phrase !

quick and sloppy hardcore snippet recorded with my Engl SE plugged into the Torpedo VB-101 (Engl 4x12 V30 cab, Blue Dragonfly condenser mic, post-EQ, slight exciter)

Quick guitar cover of MERAUDER's Bluetality. Basically this is the original mix (including the original guitars) with the sides almost muted (using Voxengo's MSED plugin) with the addition of my guitars hard-panned on each side (you can slightly still hear the original guitars).

I used my Torpedo VB-101 for the loadbox/cab/mic/miking/post-EQ part.
