So, what are you waiting for?

So… firstly, layers. Layers are the key ingredient imo. I started with my go to Metallica / pantera gain tone. One on left, one on right.So, what are you waiting for?
WOW thanks for taking the time to show us this, that's A LOT of work!So… firstly, layers. Layers are the key ingredient imo. I started with my go to Metallica / pantera gain tone. One on left, one on right.
I ended up blending in some of the Phil Collen got preset adjusted to taste and dried up.
Mick has lots of parts going on in kickstart my heart. I have a main guitar, a support guitar, and support 2 guitar and the lead guitars
I would use this as a staring point:
I don't know about the octave dividing but I'm pretty sure I hear the H3000's detuning feature (-9 cents on the left and right).So I see mentioned in a couple of placed that Mick used the Eventide H3000 Harmonizer for octave dividing..... WTF is that?
JCM 800 mod+ SlO 100 blend, scoop the slo, mid out the JCm. Blend V30 cabs/greenbacks. Instant bright, chunky& percussive Mick tone. Thank me later. I run the preamp gain on the Slo pretty low, master on 6, and boost it with a grinder. Low cut the input a bit and add it back post preamp. For the JCm 800 mod, gain is around half, same low cuts, but with no boost & the sat. switch on. Helps to give 3-5 db input EQ mids on both amps with a semi wide Q. SCOOP one (I did the SLO post EQ) and a mid/upper mid boost to the Marshall. Key I.m.oI'm trying to get the Dr. Feelgood and Girl's Girl's Girls album tones and I've tried several aproches on how to do this but haven't found a good way to get that tone. One of the things that I can't quite replicate is that raw tone that he has that is not the normal Marshall sizzle. Watching the Pete Thorn video that he goes in depht of the mods that where done to this amp it's clear that it's not your normal Jose Mod that the Saturation switch provides. Also he has a very bright tones with a sharp low end and I can't get close to that tunning the guitar 1 step down like he does for the songs. Lastly it's been documented that he uses multiple amps to get his tone but I'm still not an expert on one amp at a time let alone two amps in order to combine them and get the right tone.
If anyone been down this rabit hol and has gotten good results please let me know.
This. Pretty much what I did, panned 2 cabs hard L/R, one in center. Has all the bite/kerrang/ chunk. As soon as you eq a bit, you'll know as soon as you play the DFG intro riff.if I was going for those sounds you likely need 2 amp blocks , one JMP 2203 and one SLO blended would probably get you close with the guitars tunes to D
I also read that he used more than one amp at a time.
This would drive me bonkers.
I saw Crue in Atlantic City last year with John 5. The amount of vocal tracks used was painfully obvious. No way they could get through a show without a click.I still don't understand the whole click thing but then again I'm no pro. I still wonder how they ever got through a show back in the day before this was a thing. At the end of the click, Last one...? oh wait primal 1 2 3... I'm surprised they didn't say "all in" at the beginning. Interesting tone though!
When you have highly choreographed lighting and pyro, everything needs to be synchronized precisely.

Damn I have a hard time with 1 amp and now to mix 2 blend them for a tone is out of my league lol.JCM 800 mod+ SlO 100 blend, scoop the slo, mid out the JCm. Blend V30 cabs/greenbacks.

Man so did I. I'm still barely intermediate. You will get there, just use your ears and first deal with the simpler base parameters. 90% of my tones don't even need pre/post eq, that's how good the Axe Fx is.Damn I have a hard time with 1 amp and now to mix 2 blend them for a tone is out of my league lol.
Besides keeping the band's tempo together (often in environments with bad acoustics and huge stages etc), the click also keeps the band sync'd to the production (videos, lights, pyro, teleprompters, cues and FX, plus backing tracks as needed).I still don't understand the whole click thing but then again I'm no pro.

When you have a drunk singer you have to make sure he has cues to stay away from the pyro potsWhen you have highly choreographed lighting and pyro, everything needs to be synchronized precisely. This isn’t a Friday night bar gig .
