Sounds pretty awesome to me! I never cared for my 8200 without a boost.

But with a boost, holy fuck that thing was evil

Really? I was actually thinking it needed a touch more mids. I kinda dig the dryness too.

I will say this is only the second time I've tried recording it unboosted, so I may be off in my expectations of what the gain should sound like when it's pushing.





i dont know man, when i saw 8100s chugging i thought of that searing scooped beefy tightness that Prong and Death get with theirs which is a tone i so dearly love but this is the total opposite. if the honky dry thing is what you were going for it dosent sound bad, just not a sound i think a 8100 really excels at. why would you have to boost an 8100?? they have a ton of gain already?

Sounds good, but I agree with you that it needs a little more midrange. I'd up the gain a bit, too.

I normally don't listen to clips, but I've never even SEEN an 8100 let alone played one, so I was curious what kind of tone you had here.

I think the guitars are absolutely perfect for the genre it sounds like you're going for. The bass seems really disconnected and the fundamental too weak, but if you can bring up the bass and marry it to the guitars, you're there!

Congrats - it's a great, heavy tone!

I liked it, nothing like Death, but Chuck's tone was never as good as his songwriting skills IMHO. I have had several 8100s through the years, and your tone was more what I always went for.
