[young0wylde0child]

what are your settings on your legacy? cause for some reason whenever i switch to my neck pickup it always gets muddy and idk how to fix that. its starting to piss me off cause whenever i have intentions on playing fast runs and sweeping it gets to muddy and it just drives me insane..plz help

[8bigtubes]

@young0wylde0child What guitar and pickups are you using?

Presence: 7

Treble: 7

Mid: 6

Bass: 5 or 6

Drive: 7

Volume: to taste

[young0wylde0child]

@8bigtubes I custom make guitars so its one of my own(very high quality) but i am using a Evolution in my bridge, A Blaze in my neck then a custom carvin 7 string single coil in my mid(its based off a jem body and set up)

[8bigtubes]

@young0wylde0child Try turning the mids down to 5. It should help clear it up some.

[dougjwhalen]

hey man what were your settings on the legacy?

[JulianTheGuitarist]

HERE I GO AGAIN ON MY OWN!!

[rafauleciaelcarpio]

isn't difficult to control a rack?

[xdux]

whitesnake !!!!!!!!!!! ftw

[railing87]

Isn't Sykes's solo...Vandenberg Play this!!!

[Juaniguitarra86]

Good tone, it has some Sykes vibe.

[8bigtubes]

Thank you kindly! It really does sound better in the room.

[dance2noise002]

@8bigtubes Cool, all these Carvin Legacy amps seem to have a dark kind of tone to them, not in a bad way though. I don't know how to describe it, it's almost demonic!

[8bigtubes]

@dance2noise002

It's really not that dark sounding an amp tbh. It's my crappy recording. The Legacy cuts beautifully in a mix and it's not dark at all IMO. Yes it does have sort of a low-mid emphasis but in person, it's really not dark.

[darthinfurnus]

@dance2noise002

I own one too and I agree with the dark character and it is a good thing.

[rafinski]

can you share you settings? i think it sounds really nice

[8bigtubes]

No problem!

Presence: 6

Treble: 6

Mid: 4

Bass: 6

Drive: 7

Volume: 4

[8bigtubes]

I use the G-Force in the loop to control overall volume.

[krelbar]

Sounds a hair muddy to my ears.

Just an honest criticism...

[RNRDOLL]

its not muddy at all....what you're hearing is a 'brown' sound...like a modded plexi.

[TheDistortionist]

NICE! WHITESNAKE!

[8bigtubes]

Thanks!

[mztA3]

is the gain all the way up?

[8bigtubes]

Nope. The gain was at 7

[viperBSG]

Did you know VHT is now known as Freyette Amplification.The Legacy is awesome But the Freyette Deliverance has to 1 of the top 5 amps used.

[8bigtubes]

Yes I did know.

I love the Deliverance amps! I used to own a VHT D60. The only gripe I have is the lack of an effects loop. Other than that, the amp was near perfect for me.

[TheDistortionist]

Yeah, but for the price of a Deliverance you could buy two Legacy heads and run them in stereo.

[EL84]

lol I do :) with a 22 ms delay to the left side. 1 half stack on each side of drummer. Sound in unbelievable :)

[DaDarkstar]

Really nice sounds dude! I've been considering about buying that amp too. It sound so damn good! Can I ask what effects/things you have in your rack?

[8bigtubes]

Thanks dude! All I have in the rack is an Ebtech Hum Eliminator, TC Electronics G-Force, Roland SDE-1000 and a VHT 2150

[RckbandGamer]

at least 0:00- 0:11

[8bigtubes]

Dude, are you in a hurry? If not, I'll try to get a video up of the parts that you requested this weekend. Sounds good?

[RckbandGamer]

thanks!! yes, please!! rock on!

[RckbandGamer]

dude, the vid?? where?

[8bigtubes]

Sorry dude. I've had gigs all weekend and Monday so I've been really busy. I'll try to get the vid done asap!

[RckbandGamer]

where did you learn here i go again in that form?? ive been hunting for tabs forit all day!.....anyway .......................NNIICCE­E!

[8bigtubes]

Thanks dude! I learnt it by ear from the record

[xschuldinerx]

where did u get the rack case

[8bigtubes]

It was many years ago dude. Sorry but I forgot.

[xschuldinerx]

haha its fine....nice playing btw!!

[8bigtubes]

Thank you kindly sir!

[RckbandGamer]

please help me in any way!!.. i need that tab!! or just some way i can learn it!!! PLEASE!

[classical193]

could i get a sound like adam jones from tool with the legacy and can it do real heavy riffs with it and is it a good amp for all styles

[8bigtubes]

I don't listen to Tool so I really wouldn't know but the Legacy is a darker voiced amp chock full of mids so if you want that scooped Mesa kinda tone then you'll be better off looking elsewhere.

[topperspoppers]

mesa's actually are known for having lots of mids available... but im pretty sure the majority of people just scoop them all out

[8bigtubes]

Depends on which Mesa. The Mark series Mesas have mids to spare. The Dual and Triple Rect will still sound scooped even with the mid knob at 2 o'clock compared to a Legacy or a Bogner Ecstacy for instance.

[guitargenius66]

Hey, I just got a Legacy and a Splawn ProMod and a Soldano SLO, 4x12 legacy cab with greenbacks, 2x12 legacy cab with vintage 30's. Going to do a wet/dry effect I think but will experiment. I think I may use the Splawn and SLO for my rhythms and the legacy for my cleans, then use all 3 for leads alternating, dunno. Got a Jem 7VWH and a PRS Modern Eagle on the way. Can't wait.

[8bigtubes]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

FYI, I've ditched the Keeley TS9DX for a Xotic BB Preamp and I couldn't be happier! So much more transparent and flexible with the active EQs.

[gbastow]

nice!!!

[GaryCancer]

Daaaamn, that sounds great.

[WhiteRose049]

nice set up.

very good whitesnake song as well.

well done

[8bigtubes]

Thank you kindly !

[cowcrusher]

What are your settings on the TS9? I have one and I have been thinking of selling it because I can't find good settings and my Keeley Ds-1 seems to dial in what I want.

[8bigtubes]

Hot mode, toggle switch down, drive off, level set for a slight volume boost, tone at 1 o'clock

[DaDarkstar]

Really nice tone, do you recommend those amps? Im about to buy a new stack, and I've been considering if I buy Mesa boogie rectifier with the cabinets, or should I test these Carvin legacies too?

[8bigtubes]

It really depends on what kind of tone you're after. The Legacy and the Rectifier are worlds apart in terms of tone.

What kinda of music do you play ?

[topperspoppers]

i agree i ideally would like to have both... ive got a triple rectifier (stupid loud)

the legacy has great cleans and incredible lead tone but in my opinion it doesnt have a very good rhythm tone... thats where the rectifier kicks in... huge amounts of gain and its got great rhythm but the cleans are sub-par, and smooth leads are hard to get out of it...

they compliment each other perfectly..

i agree with 8bigtubes... what kind of music do you play?

[edguyrocks]

What tubes are you running in the legacy?

[8bigtubes]

Power: Ruby EL34BSTRs

V1, V3 and V4: Ruby 12AX7C5

V2: Sovtek LPS
