Blackstar HT-5 with MXR108 in the effects loop - metal sound

[rrippp]

Sounds great. I have the HT-20 - it sounds woolier to my ears. Maybe need to put more aggressive valves in, crank it, and try it thru a bigger cab.

Scooped Mid's sound atrocious 

[marklotv]

Yes it does! I think that BBE Sonic stomp/maximizer is pretty usable when you are playing metal with lots of gain and down tuning. It gives you more clarity and punch.

[ModernProductionss]

nice video !li was thinking about getting a BBE sonic stomp. does it make a good difference?

[xxGNR12xx]

would $300 good for this with a jet city 1x12 included?

[marklotv]

I removed the handle... It was just too big :)

[woodddj]

i have been looking to buy this cab, and i have the ht-5....ive noticed that the bugera cab has a tall handle like the ht-5...does the head sit flat over the handle on the cab or does it tilt or rock a little?

[redukonio]

@woodddj forget about the bugera cab, its rubbish ... look for a good 2x12 cabinet, maybe a used Marshall ...

[woodddj]

@redukonio i wound up getting the blackstar htv112 cab. i highly recomend it to anyone looking for a 1x12 cab with a lot of punch.

[kichansilva]

Nice!! BIG difference!!

[marklotv]

Yes it is.

[clasicelectriguitar]

This pedal is true by pass?

[marklotv]

Absolutely not. I think it 's the best EQ for that price.

[147147Nick]

Some people say MXR is very noisy, is it really so? I am thinking of buying one. :)

[samathanwataguan]

@147147Nick It is and tbh you can get a modded one, but then again it's still likely you'll need a gate/suppressor/decimator pedal at the end of your chain to be completely rid of unwanted noise.

[marklotv]

I don't actually remember. I am going to record some new videos with Blue Yeti and T-bone to see the difference between these two microphones. Anyway Blue Yeti is a great microphone and very easy to use. But stay tuned...

[zillathegorilla]

Where did you have the mic placed when you recorded this? I'm thinking about getting one of these mics. Can you mic the guitar when it's playing at a reasonable level?

[Levi790]

Bump up the high mids a bit and you'll be golden.

[marklotv]

Oh yes! :) R.I.P. Chuck!

[dorthian]

control denied !!!!!! hell yeahhhhhhh ^^

An EQ can make a BIG difference to the sound of an amp.

I run a GE7 in the loop of my V55HD! Tightens it up more and smooths out the distortion more.
