Well im set on the guitar (i think), now the amp....

[varkunus]

crimes please?

[crimesofpassionandy]

Sorry man, don't have MSN. What do you need to know? You can email me if you like.

[varkunus]

well just you opinion on the amp. And could you do some sound samples for me or something on youtube. Like of playing some mid heavy grinding sabbath, to smooth gary moore, to agressive megadeth, to woody sounding stevie ray vaughn, to shimmery fender cleans.

If you could that would be immense

There are some clips of the ENGL in action here. Pickups are Bareknuckle Miracle Man and Cold Sweat neck.

[varkunus]

nice band, instruments sound megadethy, and the vocals sounds maideny. Nice mix

[varkunus]

well listening to the songs, it sounds really good nice big bass like i was hoping for. What cab you using? And can it do anything lighter, a sound i find really hard to achieve is sabbath. Its really middy and grindy. Could you try that?

[crimesofpassionandy]

The cab for recording was a Marshall 4x12 double tracked using V30's and Fane speakers. My cabs for live are ENGL Pro 4x12's. If you used the crunch channel rather than the lead, then I reckon you would be able to nail the Sabbath sound you are looking for.

[varkunus]

and the gary moore type smooth leads? Also how do the marshall v30 cab differ from the ENGLs. And i wouldnt use a 412 probs a 212 maybe a 112. Something i can still take in the back of a peugot 306, and something practical for band practice in my mates garage

Hey Andy, I hope you don't mind but I added you guys on MySpace, absolutely love the music  :o That Pretty in Blood is absolutley gorgeous, really cool stuff!

[varkunus]

so will it do smooth leads? And people on youtube are saying it wont do vintage very well. Could you guys clarify

[Roobubba]

Seriously, you're moving way too fast. Sounds like you want to buy the amp RIGHT NOW, without hearing it with your guitar (which you don't have yet), or testing it for yourself somewhere.

Dude, you REALLY need to chill out on this one! You're putting loads of messages up here and asking people to comment on something which won't happen for another year (in your own words). That's kind of a waste of people's time, because in a year, you'll want to check out all the current options again anyway...

Sorry to be blunt, but I figured it's best to tell it like it is...

ok sorry guys. But i might be able to make some fast cash here and now. Ive found a way to beat some casino. And if i put some big bets on i could make a couple of hundred a day

Granted, the Blackmore has a hefty amount of high end AVAILABLE.
If I were to mod it, I'd change the treble pot from linear to logarithmic, to make it easier on the small adjustments. But it works quite fine for me so I haven't even seriously considered.

A good starting point for a strat with single coils: (in clock format)
Bass          13 o'clock
Middle        12 o'clock
Treble        9 o'clock
Lead Pres.  9 o'clock

Brighter settings for humbuckers, of course. And if you want the mids to focus a little more on the low mids, turn down the mids a bit and switch on contour (boosts low mids).

Or... you could lose?  :lol:

[varkunus]

now i found a system which works provided the game doesnt have a low maximum bet, and doesnt have zeros. Anyway that idea is out the window, the theory works but in a practical sense it doesnt. Any of you guys got any ideas for making easy money? And the guitar i would be using is an ibanez rg1570 with alinco V warpigs in bridge, cold sweat in neck and irish tour in middle. Would i be able to get a good vintage tone from that?
