Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn - Take 2 - MyGuitarRig.com

Another even sloppier rendition with a pick scrape as part of the example. Sorry I don't know the song that well but people have been asking for sound clips so I threw this together real quick.

Also of note is that I had the tubes changed from the stock Electro-Harmonix to Chinese Shuguang EL-34 and 12AX7.

so do the chinese tubes perform well cuz i need new tubes and heard that power tubes don't do much for tone thankyou!

[reneugarte]

@clayton5150 power output tubes definitely add to the tone, especially at higher volumes or if you're using a power attenuator. output tube distortion is smoother and less harsh than preamp distortion. the chinese shuguang tubes sounded pretty good when i owned the amp.

what do you think is better for me being leadguitarist in a metalcore band (think parkway drive, as i lay dying, killswitch engage, ...)? framus dragon, framus cobra, orange rockerverb or peavey 6505+?

[reneugarte]

@deestra you can make just about any amp sound good for metal by putting an eq in front of the preamp and an eq in the effects loop, both of which are set up with boosted mids. then fiddle with the eq knobs on the amp itself until it sounds like the way you want, and be sure to test it at loud volume when playing with a band because you need to be able to cut through and not sound like mush. if you need versatility clean and grit, maybe go with the dragon.

give a noobie a great gear and hear the tone : )

give guthrie govan a squier and a marshall mg50dfx and hear the music : )

[cratemanman]

sry , it needs work it sounds messy

[veeragandersucks]

@deestra rockerverb, but buy a tubescreamer and use it as a clean boost, BEST METAL TONE EVER

[Dfiend92]

[tanky666hate]

@munchy040 I WISH! I love the VH4 - but can't afford one!! Im looking at 2nd hand Cobras ie. 650-750 GBP. Not 2000 GBP Diezels! (Everything is more expensive here in UK :( )

[munchy040]

@NevvyC i wouldnt bother with it

u can get a diezel vh4 for $3500 if you go direct to the diezel company

but they only sell direct if there is not a dealer near you

[NevvyC]

@munchy040 haha had to check this for my original comment and 10months ago i didn't know the difference between a cobra and dragon!

No i haven't got my hands on 1 yet - still trying! I have got a 5150 mk1 in great condition though :D

I think the Cobra is cursed though as i have paid for 1 didnt get it so had to claim, made a deal for another then that fell through and now im trying to get another!!

[munchy040]

@NevvyC did u get the cobra

[paperbagtimemachine]

@deestra being a leadguitarist in a metalcore band i think you would do best without that mans dick in your ass.

[garbear2321]

@deestra get the 6505 thats what parkway drive uses it is perfect for metalcore
