Title: Help me!!
Post by: Crazy_Joe on May 08, 2006, 08:42:34 PM

I've been studying both the Nailbombs and Miracle Mans on here and Nailbomb has come out on top but only just, the one flaw it has is that it doesn't have the harmonics that the Miracle Man has.
I like Zakk Wyldes tone a lot but the Nailbombs sounds more beefy than the Miracle Mans, i want beef and screaming harmonics, point me in the right direction!

I posted that in the players section a few days ago, but now i have heard some convincing clips from the warpig! I'm so stuck here i don't know what to to, i like to play death/melodic/thrash metal heavy stuff, but at the same time some classic metal like Ozzy, and yes i do want a nice clean tone, however im not sure if this is possible!!
I don't know whether to get calibrated sets or anything either, by the way can somebody explain calibrated sets to me!
Yea im a noob lol
All help is appreciated, cheers in advance.

Whatever you pick C-joe, its gonna blow your mind!

My only tip though, if you love Zakk Wylde, go for the Miracle Man!!!

The Nailbomb, after my opinion, is made for thrash.

The Miracle Man is made for old school heavy metal, think EMG 81.

The Warpig is made for the gain heads in this society.  Think metal that will screw you and leave you to breakfast.

Again, whatever you pick will be astonishing.
