Correcting typo.., TS-7 Tone at 12'O clock. Not 0.

[funkster1976]

Also,

MIG 100 Head: around US$300 second hand

Sunn quad: around US$300 second hand

TS-7: Around US$40..

All and all, pretty cheap set-up..Good sound..

Cheers

Just to clarify the setting for those of you interested....

Sovtek Mig 100: High gain input, Max preamp vol, Master at 12'O clock. EQ all 12'O clock.

Ibanez TS-7 Tube Screamer: Drive 0. Tone 0, Volume 9'O clock.

Gibson Les paul: Humbucker, full tone and volume.

Picking: Very hard.

Video Recording: Fuji digital camera.Tends to sound tinny. Much fatter in real life.

Cheers

This is my favourite amp, it's a Marshall JCM800-2203copy with 6L6's output tubes instead of marshall's El84, very good amp, mine has green light instead of red, the amp is by nature pretty noisy how can you get it to sound that quite? did you use any software noise removal? or do you have a special trick for that?

[funkster1976]

No tricks. Just mid eq with full volume gain. Usually very quiet amp, due to lower gain.Only 3x12ax7's. Hence the tube screamer for boost. The humbucker always helps to keep noise down ofcourse. The Red bezel is replacement,as the original was lost.I changed all the knobs , switches and jacks as well.

[funkster1976]

I used a Tube Screamer only for volume boost. No over drive though.

The words "Sovtek and Sunn cab" made my right foot curl and gave me and leg cramp. All while I was smiling.. What better brands could you have together, Lord?

Nice kit

@johnnybmagic the mig 50 and mig 100 are pretty different gain wise. A mig 50 is more like a bassman with less gain, mig 60 is comparable to a JMP as far as gain, and then the Mig 100 is like a JCM 800. Thats what I have heard anyways I only have a Mig 60 but I might get a Mig 100 soon :D

[rssnowblind0]

How loud is this? is it cranked?

[poofterface]

how is it possible to make such a good guitar/amp combo sound so bad haha

[johnnybmagic]

How did you get that much gain out of it? I was just playing a MIG 50 today and I couldn't even get it to break up until I got the volume around 3 o' clock and that was using the high input!

jesus christ that set up kicks ass!!!
