The good old Mesa Boogie Mark IV

-SOLD-. It would take too long to go into all the different sounds of this little monster, there are so many different switches, modes etc., but I dialed in my favorite sound for each channel with my strat to give you a good picture. I does real great high gain stuff too, by the way.

What cab you were using there?. I mean with what speakers?

[lukecyrus]

that cab has the 25W celestion greenbacks.

Hello!

I liked your tone!

Do you know how much it (head) weight?

thanks!

[lukecyrus]

no, sorry... but I do remember that it is pretty heavy!

[qqryq90]

hey, could you tell me what mic and soundcard/interface did u use to record the sound? That's great quality :)

[lukecyrus]

Sure, all it is, is a sm58 going into an old m-audio 410, which is acting as an audio input for the iMovie program.

Gibsons might be overpriced, overweight, and (to some) uncomfortable to play, but you can't get that tight, punchy bark with a Fender. You can't get Fender's pop, spank, and chime with a Gibson. Can't compare apples to oranges.

Great tones. I seriously come back to listen to this on a regular basis cuz it just sounds so damn good.

[tomigunn777]

Dude,Mesa should fire Petrucci and hire you to demo their amps. Seriously.

[tomigunn777]

This is by far the best amp I have EVER owned! And trust me,I've owned them ALL!!

[ThiagoPug]

Incredible tone! What's your settings on amp? And do you have compare the greenbacks with the EVM-12l?

[tubeMiLKO]

Is that strat a dakota or fiesta red?.. either way.. looks superb.

[buzzsaw63]

Nice! Can't believe you got rid of that amp

@JackTheLever fair enough. I don't like EMG's for their sound, I preffer passives too, but I have never heard this horrid fizz that you described. It's a tight and articulate pickup, albeit very sterile and compressed, it can make a truly good player shine, I had this proven to my face. You should give them another try. Hetfield and Gilmore swear at them for a reason.

[JackTheLever]

@readonly999 Nope! I do like metal tones, but I hate active pickups! I don't think you can get any good tone out of them, especially on an ESP/LTD! Still, that's my opinion and I judge by what my own ears hear...

[readonly999]

@JackTheLever it sounds like you hate metal tones in general :?

[JackTheLever]

@metalpride15 Hey, I'm not even a Fender fan and I don't think I would buy a Fender for my main guitar either (I'm a PRS man!), but for crying out loud, an ESP/LTD with EMG sounds like trash compared to a Fender! Too much treble because of the horrid pickup EQ that EMG has set, too much bite and a tone harsher than a cheese grinder. Seriously, kid, get a life! Go play with a real guitar and then come troll about Fenders! End of story!

@metalpride15 Are you on dope, metalhead!!! Steroidboy!!
