Would like to hear it with a mic on it; hard to tell with the room reflections going on.

sounds like it has some beefy low end. is it 4 stage with a follower? or something wild?

That sounds pretty awesome.

I would also love to hear it recorded a bit better.

I never saw you as a Satyricon fan though

Totally sounds the business, especially the Metallica bit. Just an angry Marshall tone with accents in all the right frequencies. My missus was screaming to switch it off, so I couldn't listen long to the second bit. How is it with single notes?

Too much room indeed, you should get some close mic'ed recordings done.

So any more info on the features? Does it have a clean channel? Loop? Pics would be nice.

Sounded great! Another vote for a better mic though.

single notes? - here's clip with just three gain stages (one less than the first clip), sounds pretty nice imo...

With the extra stage added, it's just a bit more saturated, but the core tone is the same.

No clean channel or loop, though they could be added.  I prefer single channel screamers myself, no compromise.

I do need to get a better recording set up, its true.  Best I can do is record into Pro Tools and not bother with the video, just have stills of the amp - I'm just using the video function on my digital camera. 

Was thinking of getting a Zoom Q3 as the audio I've heard is good, as it the video quality, BUT I'd ideally like something I can sync up via timecode in ProTools and put a mic in front of the speaker.  Any suggestions?

I like loads of music, just can't play the heavier stuff - my roots are in rock music, I always struggle to play thrash/death.

I saw Satyricon on the Now Diabolical tour, was great upstairs in Newcastle Academy with maybe 150 people max.

Thats sounds great! I like the low end chug and the crunching mids.

this makes me want to get some kind of 4 input marshall chassis and just butcher it.
