attn: Blue[views:3532][posts:20]______________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 9:50am - goatcatalyst ""] You coming to the Black Anvil shopw tonight? I'm 85% happy with my tone, but I could really use a knowledgeable ear to help me use my amp to its fullest potential. As I've boasted in the past, I've got a Mesa Quad preamp, which is the Mark IIC and Mark III with 5 band EQ. Strangely enough, my (modded) Tube Screamer doesn't make fuck-all of a difference. The Quad is super sensitive and I'm kind of at a loss. Help a brother out. Drinks and smoke will be proffered. Maybe I'll let you touch my flannel while we mock James. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 10:54am - brian_dc ""] the chugs sound like quacks. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 10:56am - Bradsauce ""] Ouch. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 11:00am - brian_dc ""] I just made that up, but I bet now that I said it, you'll be able to hear it somewhere in there. |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 11:26am - Bradsauce ""] You might wanna try an EQ pedal, but use it like a boost. Sometimes a little tonal change is more effective then trying to layer more gain on a ton of gain. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 29,2011 11:53am - blue ""] Didn't get my car towed. I have a sardonic skinritual scheduled tonight, but I might be able to make it later. When you guys playing? |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 11:57am - brian_dc ""] I am all about boost pedals. I run a custom made boost pedal pretty hot and then I use my OCD pretty much as a boost. Who the fuck needs a distortion channel when you can just boost the shit out of your signal into oblivion? I say this with slight, slight irony. |

| _______________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 12:04pm - goatcatalyst ""] It's just that everything about the amp is so sensitive and if you know what you're doing, you can fine-tune it to get the godliest tones. Admittedly, I have a retard's ear and DON'T Know what I'm doing. I like where I'm at, but I want to make it more gooder. It's got its own five band EQ for each channel (Channel A is the Mk IIC, Channel B is the Mk III). If I could get someone like Blue to give it a minor fucking with, I know it would be hoss. |

| _______________________________ [Apr 29,2011 12:32pm - blue ""] In my experiences, I've found that boosting doesn't really work in a preamp/power amp setting as much as it does in front of a normal head. I would try taking the TS out altogether. I would also try turning off the 5 band EQ and see if you dig it more without it. If I'm done early enough ill come on by. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 12:35pm - brian_dc ""] turn everything off and turn it back on again magic |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 29,2011 12:37pm - goatcatalyst ""] Thanks, Blue. I've stopped using the TS. And it's almost unbelievable how much of a difference the EQ makes. It's kinda 'skronky' without it on, but with it on - BULLDOZER. If you can make it out, that would rule. As I said... Bowls on me. I think we're on right before Black Anvil so it should be later on. |
