7 string, 27" scale, maple neck-through body, mahogany wings, maple top, ebony fretboard, super strat.
I like death and doom metal. I like to get a roaring, possibly darker sort of distorted tone (my 8-string has a C-Pig, but I think I'm looking for something slightly different here). I like a thick, meaty crunch. I may want some versatility, between thick power chords, tight rhythms and decent cleans.
I'm a bedroom amateur recording artist for the moment, using an amp modeller, so I guess there's no specific amp it should be aimed at.
Because this is a maple-neck through baritone, I was thinking the Miracle Man's highs might be too harsh?
Holydiver is another one that's been recommended to me, but the whole "80's" thing throws me off, I'm not sure how to interpret that description. Is there something about the Holydiver that may not be tight or aggressive enough or something for quick palm muted technical stuff? Not a broad enough sounding EQ? Something else? I guess I don't listen to enough 80s music. :?
Also thinking about the Aftermath, but it may not have dense enough sounding low-mids for doom metal I'm guessing, at least to outshine the other options. :?:
Opinions?
