    Hermansson is some God-tier tone. I've been following his career since he was modding PA powered mixer into monsters. You can get fairly close to his signature sound by cutting bass and boosting 1.5-2k before it hits the amp, then adding the bass back afterwards either with output eq, or a...

    Not true. Google "ExxonMobil BLADE expansion" or "Valero Port Arthur Expansion" or "Motiva Port Arthur expansion" or any other refiner for that matter. They aren't building "new" refineries because they can just expand their current operation at already up and running facilities. The Exxon...

    Brother, somewhere along the way we've been conditioned to believe that the population and their vehicles are the problem. We're miniscule. The real, and main contributors, are ocean going vessels. Cruise ships, tankers, and the ilk make up the vast vast majority of pollution by combustible fuel.

    What Amp Models would you like to see added?

    References to "Preset doesn't sound like Promo-Video" topics?

    That's an EQ curve that indicates loss of hearing in the high frequencies, which is the first to go. Or something is wrong with your setup/signal chain. Lol YouTube some audiometric tests and see how you fare.
  60. biggness

    References to "Preset doesn't sound like Promo-Video" topics?

    Another key component is picks. Size, shape, type, thickness, etc. It's the direct transfer from person to string and often overlooked. Different picks yield different tones/timbres.
