Title: BKP Painkiller Brutal Heavy thru Valveking
Post by: ethan_hanus on January 31, 2011, 08:33:59 PM

Just heavy riffen though my Valveking. Bet you wont be expecting how heavy it is.

Stick an OD in front and finish her up! It's good so far.

Lol, it does have a OD in front, a TS9. Valveking's a very loose amp, so it's hard to get a tight gain from it. Thanks though, I think I'll finish off this song later in the week when my gear is actually here.

I actually found that the TS9 was rubbish for boosting mid gain amps.

you should try something like the Biyang OD8

Really did wonders for my marshall TSL.

i was getting the same amount of tightness you are from the TS9

It's not all that bad, I did notice today, when I put a fresh battery in it, and fresh strings, that when I clicked it on it killed a little bit of the overtones, still bright as a mofo though, just less, clear. I can't find one of those in America. My neighbor has a OD pedal that is just pure awesomeness for like $200, I'll have to get the name from him next time I see him.

The TS9 serves it's purpose for now. Lol, trying to save up for a MIA Strat, if possible a custom mahogany with flame maple top Strat style guitar, would make this Painkiller sound beautiful

you can probably get one on ebay they cost £50 brand new

how do you have the tone knob set on the ts9?

I have the tone set very very low, just a bit above the no tone, same with the gain, and then I have the level very close to maxed. I'm mainly just using it as a clean boost.

If I give it more tone it becomes too honky sounding.

In this clip I think the battery was just a bit low, and I didn't quite have my impulse cab dialed in like I do now.

The way i always ran it was gain 0 tone about 3 oclock and the level at full.

i found this cut the lows ina  better way and really tightened things up you do have to compensate with the amp though for the added treble
