you can identify that it's a great tone, although the mic and recording quality are real bad :twisted:

Quite agressive, punchy, good bottom end and crunch in the upper mids. Also seems like a sound that requires some effort from the player, which is good as more ROCK attitude comes across.

Thats a great tone Eric.

Its soo tight and punchy. Sounds more aggressive than my MM set.

Shame about the crackly mic.

What have you downtuned to? Whole step?

lol i'm a really bad on recording

and to be sincere, this amp sounds like shite on low volumes
on studio it ROARS :twisted:
i call it "the box that carries hell"
the bass on 6 is bassier and deeper than my bassist can get and the distortion is raw and crunchy, not too much saturation
i rehearse using the crunch channel and sounds heavier that anything i've tried
and now i discovered that greenbacks are the best spearkers ever! :lol:
it devoured my bandmate's marshall oversized cab of v30's and it's a lot better than my century vintage

thanks!
it's tuned to drop C

i'm missing my miracle man
i think it will be even punchier!
i'll ask my friend to lend me my ex-les paul with the MM set

Wow, it's so tight already. Especially if you consider the low-tuning and the scale of the guitar. Actually, that's very close to the texture of the tone I'm after. I really love that "bouncing" tightness more than extreme super-tightness.

You can hear the rocking nature of the pickup (ala Led Zeppelin) behind the modern response it has. I think the HD is a really great pickup. I really liked all the clips of it.

Thanks for posting this!

EDIT: I heard it again and I'd say that the tone of the leads in the end is like Richie Blackmore from hell or something. :twisted:

Nice riffing - I really like this.

Good to see some more Holy Diver clips getting posted....

thanks, guys!
and 2 thanks for Antag for making me buy the best bridge pickup i've played :oops:
my playing is a bit sloppy cause i didn't learn the song yet (machine head - halo) :lol:

i posted more sloppy short clips
i think they sounded a bit better and louder
soon i'll try to make a video on studio with the cobra matching 4x12 cab
the greenbacks sound LOUD

yep...i stand by the fact that the cobra is the ULTIMATE metal amp :twisted: nice one man!

I'm surprised how tight it sounded, even when tuned so low. Good stuff.
