borrowing a friends amp...

[NinjaRaf]

Thoughts? I don't want to reveal any amps, just want to see what everyone thinks. Same mic position for both, Fredman clip with 2 SM57s. Strat with Duncan Omega. Mesa cab. Mesa V30. Dispatch Master on the trem picking thingies, Fortin Zuul in the loopies.

the second one i think might be your best and most unique tone ive heard yet. im gonna bust out my fredman clip now

[Telephant]

Got no idea what it is but it sounds legit af!

Totally off topic but I was thinking of you the other day cause I’ve been obsessed with EVH’s Balance tone and was like I should buy a 5150, I wonder if Raf has one for sale?!

[Ostinato Rubato]

Sounds fucking badass.

[Lance-a-not]

Mean as hell, I liked the third one the most

[Devin]

Shit fucks dude

[greatmutah]

God damn that’s heavy. All of them.

[NinjaRaf]

Appreciate the listens and comments fellas.

No 5150s for sale right now, but I am borrowing my friends BL, and that is clip #1. Boosted with a Mesa Gridslammer.

Clip 2 is the Mark VII, also boosted with the Gridslammer. Clip 3 is unboosted Mark VII. Different settings to accommodate the boost in both of these.

yeah i still like the second one, thats like the tone in my head i always wished lamb of god would achieve and never did. i never tried boosting my iic+, definitely putting that on my to-do list now

[Holy-diver]

sounds great bro

Same here.

pulloffheavyshitfuckyoubitch LMFAO!

LOLOL

That name is what happens when 2 guys that have been playing and getting hi together for 20 years write songs hahaha.

Personally, I prefer the unboosted Mesa clip. The boost adds juice, for sure. Kinda like the Shred switch on the JP. Definitely gotta dial up the lows to get it sounding right, though.

what is this gridslammer based off?

[NinjaRaf]

I think it's supposed to be a tubescreamer kinda thing, but it's capable of pushing less gain and mid hump than a typical TS. Like 9 o clock on the gain is what the gain all the way down on a TS would be. Which is perfect for me, because I feel like it tightens better and doesn't add so much of that midrange that I typically don't like about the TS pedals. I have it set with the gain all the way down.
