Author Topic: Second Miracle Man clip (Read 15402 times)

Here is my second clip posting here. This is an instrumental metal tune. I recorded this using a pair of Miracle Man pickups, although I never used the neck pickup.

Here is the signal chain:
Dean Custom Time Capsule V -> Miracle Man pickup -> ISP Decimator -> ENGL Powerball -> Marshall 1960A cabinet.

To record the tune:
Sure SM-57 (pointing directly at center of upper left cone) -> Behringer Eurorack UB1002 mixer (EQ's set at center) -> Fostex MR8 eight track digital recorder.

I played a POS Rouge bass through my ENGL's clean channel too. I double tracked all the rhythms, the verse bits, and the solo. I mixed with Acoustica's Mixcraft and programmed the drums using Acoustica's Beatcraft.

Excellent clip. Nice tight riffing, and awesome lead work. What channel do you use on the powerball, and what mids, open or focused? Is it different for your leads?

Thanks! I used channel 3 with the focus button pushed in. I have the gain set at about the 1 o'clock position. I am thinking of backing off the gain a little though.

thats the kinda shizznel the Miracle Man does best.. just outright balls to the walls riffing!, also cuts through like a razor with leads.

Impressive stuff there Thor -both playing and sound. The debut clip was fantastic- the "difficult" second clip was wonderful and we are all anxiously awaiting the third.

This track is awesome! I actually like it better than your first clip I think. Gotta find me a guitar to put some MM's in :)

Thank you all for the kind comments. These are really great pickups! I will be buying another set for my next V.

Nice playing, nice tone... very well defined, and it has a hell of a lot more balls than your common metal tones these days.... EMGS>5150.
