Don't think easy to buy minimat and send back if not likeing though :(

I dont know where you live in relation to wherever the Matamp warehouse place is but I think you can go try some out if you arrange it with em.. may be wrong though.

Why couldn't you have Dimebag? :? :?:

does the power screamer not get you the tone you want, nick?

Assuming high volume does, then the hotplate might be worth a look- but remember it still won't sound just as good as cranked, since you need the speaker to be working well too...

I know I tried a hotplate that was built into a bivalve recently, and, while the standalone one might be better, I don't want one, now...

why don't you just use channel 4? or does it sound too "metal"?

Just some random thoughts and questions there, nick!

Ben, Daryll took up too much bandwidth and had complaints as such (so told), high energy in life and avatar's it seem's, 'Black Tooth Grin' :)

Dave, the ENGL will MELT faces. Just to do so at lower vol. is not so easy (even on chan. 4).

I think what I shall do, is buy an equaliser. This will allow WAY more tonal possibilities at many volumes and will (ihope and believe) transform this and TBH any amp.
The MXR 10 band is fave. Although, scratching head abit. They have two versions. A normal one and a Kerry King sig. model (only diff. being KK model can support two amps) and have seen (here online in UK) KK model cheaper than normal one (scratches head). LOL, anyway, when get bit of peace will order one and go for there.

Champing at the bit right now for me Explorer to arrive. When it does (esp. after custom Warpig fitment) this may all be a moot point anywa LOL. Still gonna get an equal. to put in effects loop though as think (once set up, which could take looooooooooooooong time) could indeed be 'godly'.

It'll be interesting to hear what you think of a 10 band EQ pedal, that monster spec' guitar and your amp!! :twisted:

Dakine · « **Reply #21 on:** July 05, 2006, 06:22:54 PM »

To be completely honest, with recent events (more than just father passing) I am a DEF. pissed with world/black aura. So, going for total ANNIHILATION. Hopefully will acheive this :twisted:

dave_mc · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2006, 06:28:11 PM »

^ ah, ok, go for it, nick- with only one eq for all the channels, an eq could be handy for the screamer, no-matter the purpose!

I have no real experience with EQ's, I can't really help you with that...

Well that lot should help get it out of your system!

Dakine · « **Reply #24 on:** July 05, 2006, 06:40:28 PM »

Just ordered (Kerry King) MXR 10 band EQ (few quid cheaper than norm. lol.

Let MAYHEM commence :twisted:

Power attenuator!

Hotplate is good
Weber Mass cheaper and more flexible (buy direct from USA, no hassle)

Never failed me with my old JCM800, my ENGL Fireball (eeek ++ for gain on that beast) and now my Screamer.

I was 'cranking it' on wednesday.. master on 4, my Weber Mass on 2 and the sound was :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: (i bypassed the Mass and nearly shat myself with the volume of the screamer on 4!!!)

A mini mat will probably get you the Judas Priest style 'chunky' distortion, but no where near Metallica\thrash imo..

The Kerry King is good, very good buy imo.

Man, i just got REALLY into Death (again..its weird i was a fan but last few years hardly listened to em!!!)... need money for a Warpig for the Dime o Flame... its gonna be my Dime o Death and melt my neighbours faces ;)
