Here's some clips through a few different amps i've had with the Rebel Yell in the bridge and a calibrated Nail Bomb in the neck of a US Hamer Korina Standard Explorer.
Cornford MK50

I really like the clips, my favourite is the Cornford, nice playing.
-
WOW! I am in love with the tone of the cornford amp. stunning, and phenomenal playing i must say... that dissonance on the first clip is godly, and it comes out sooooo well with your equipment :D The soundclick clip is beautiful, just beautiful.
-
Awesome!
-
Great clips, the MK50 being my favourite. By the way what sort of volume was the amp on when you recorded?
-
Thanks guys. All the clips were at low volumes (bedrrom levels)
-
I went through your soundclick stuff and found those Mako Dorado clips. Those sound really fantastic. Do you still have that amp? Could you do some BKP recordings with it?
-
O MY FVCKIN GAWD! HOW MANY AMPS DO YOU HAVE BUDDY?!?!?! :? :lol:
EDIT: More importantly, what in the hell kinda job do you work to HAVE all those amps?

Haha, I only have one amp right now. My Marshall Super Lead modded by Mark Cameron. But i've owned everything.....really.... but not all at the same time. One or two here and there, buying, selling, trading, etc, etc.

The Mako was cool for what it did, but it was a one trick pony for sure. I mean, I had one setting and if i changed anything, it just didn't sound good. When I had it dialed in, it killed! but, like i said, it did that one sound, and that was it. For some people it might be great though.
-
That was awesome, only listened to the first one for the moment. It has the right amount of gain saturation, compression... and some amazing playing too
note to self, get some RY's.... then a guitar to put them in
May I ask of you're recording set up?

Thanks man. My recording setup is very simple and cheap. I have an SM57 and E609 mics into an Alessis Multimix 8 USB ($150 new), USB cable into my PC using Cakewalk Music Creator software. That's it. Very cheap and easy to use.

Awsome playing, alas i dont like any of these amps much, i also think its a shame you play with such a scooped metal sound, most of the excellent articulation is nullified by the gain, maybe try a really ballsy kind of metal sound with plenty sustain? You marshall super lead will surely handle that.
IMHO its not all about what sounds best(one trick pony collection syndrome), but more about what will express the most within some style parameters. Versatility and dynamics are such wonderfull qualities.
PS Im just thinking out loud, nothing more.
Ow, and which clip is with the nailbomb neck pickup?

That would be this clip, which I didn't post because I think it sucks, but here you go.

JB whats up man good to see u hear. Love the elmwood has kind of the squish on notes. Like Ecstacy but more defined. NOt as piercing as cornford.
How do u find the RY to the JB? Tried the Aldrich pup yet?
-

Great thanks, the athmosphere music is pretty irritating. In this clip your articulation is more pronounced, good string dynamics in there.
Sometimes its a good thing to step back and just try to enjoy what you are creating, i have seen several really talented musicians wear themself down this way, i hope you wont......
-
Very good setup of quality and true to the tone of the pickups clips
Unholy Job

Henk those other clips to me sounded not scooped but anti-scopped ala Geroge Lynchish.
-
Lynch used some overdrive stombox (OD-1, TS-9 and such) and ran an amp at moderate gain level into clipping.
If that is what JB is doing i will apologise but it certainly does not sound that way in the clips, it sounds like he uses way too much destortion scooped or not is not the point really.
Sorry to put it so bluntly, not my intention really, i do however tend to be clear on what i say.

Well, like it or not, it is what it is.

Your playing is among the best i have heard here on the forum, however you asked what we thought about the different sounds of your amps.
I really think you use too much distortion and dont get the best out of your amp and out of your playing.
But ok, since im the only one actually trying to discuss the amp sounds ill better stop.
Cheers, Henk
