Alright so here is the scoop. I was told about six months ago my label was talking to Soulfly's Tour Agent about us on the tour. However the label did not like something i do not really know for sure. What I do know is I got a call a week before the Maximum Cavalera Family tour saying get your gear and clothes and get down South to rehersall. So I had a total of four days to book a flight get gear together make sure everything was in working order and put my rack back together as I was in process of customizing everything. So I got to rehersall with three guys I have never met. LONG STORY, but the short is I wrote the whole album except vocals and these guys are tour support that my vocalist has used in the past. So I get to where they live we meet and do the whole whats up I am goin to be sleeping next to you for two months thing and then started talking about music. Well come to find out the bassist that was suppose to play bailed. So thank god the guy that was goin to play second guitar was primary a bass player and he had a buddy that is an excelent guitarist minus gear. So now I am here with three guys a drummer a guitarist a bassist and me with my AXE II and brought power amp just in case bought a mackie HD1221 cause I loved how they sounded and two days later kept hitting thermal limiter. At this point not only did I have only 3 days to get music tight I had to get the ultra going for the other guitarist or I would be facing a goofy crate amp solid state with a POD 2,.0 goin through it. CAN YOU SAY FxxK NO AND YUCKY. So unfortunatally I had no time to take risks on monitors or wait on a RCF COAX. I really wanted to hear an ALTO COAX but said heck with it bit the bullet and got the BIG brother of the Mackie HD1221 THE HD 1531, However the dood at the local GC hooked me up good cause the guy that was suppose to be helping me had no Idea what I was asking for like I was speaking some unknown laungage or something. So i then do what I always do help myself well them guys at this particular Gaytar center did not like that started yelling and I was like look I do not have time for this guy to leave me who was hear first to help another customer that he so happens to think is buying something better. By the way they did not buy anything. The distric manager came and was super cool got a real knowlagble guy for me and dood was striaght up go with what you know type deal. I was weary cause of the problem with the other mackie. Ill just say that I payed less than the place did and I was on my way. The ironic thing is on the way to our first date on tour we stoped by my place and the guys at my GC happend to have one alto COAX after I asked them for months to get a few and let me check them out and they sold them on me twice. I tried the coax it was awesome but had my heart set on shure in ear which by the way is sick. I d ont like that its all highs and no lows but flawless other wise. I however after the first week came back by my house while touring to different places and with the high demand for speed setting up and loading and the fact i now have to ship double what I planned on I left the damn mackie for convience. OK
OK sorry for all that now to the point. I tweaked my sound slowly through out the tour and after the second week and being comfortable with the other guys in the bands I asked MARC RIZZO (SOULFLY LEAD GUITAR) what he thought and he said it sounded sick except little too much highs so I been fighting that since. I need help with this since I can only tweak through headphones cause i left my monitor.
I am goin for either PV 5150 just like this MAXON 808 GAIN 0 TONE 8 Volume 8- PV5150 GAIN 3 BASS 8 MIDS 4-6 TREBLE 6-8 PRESENCE- 6-8 RESONECE 8-10 through a v30 cab with gh1230s or just v30s
or
ENGL POWERBALL same maxon with gain 0 tone 6 volume 7 POWERBALL GAIN 3 bass 6 mids focused 4 treble 7 presence 5 depth 5
THESE ARE ACTUAL REAL AMP SETTINGS
What I am looking for is a high gain amp that sounds like a deisel motor when urr chuging perfect example is the new ALL SHALL PERISH THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS
PLEASE SOME HELP ME GET THAT HARD HITTING ts808 5150 heavy tone
