Mark IV / Palmer clips!

[krankguitarist]

So, my rents left the house for a little bit this morning, and I hooked up the new mark IV and let er rip.

This was done with my new mesa/boogie Mark IV and Palmer PDI-09. No microphones were harmed in the recording of this clip.

I had a bit more time to dial this one in than my last clip with the Palmer and the Krank. It could still use a little tweaking, but it sounds pretty **** good to me so far. The playing is pretty rough, as is the whole clip. But...Its just a clip .

This was done with my PRS McCarty with an A8 custom/59 hybrid in the bridge.

The drums need more mixing, I know. I'm tryin to hone my skills on one thing at a time here though. Otherwise...my head starts spinning.

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

I cant wait till I get the chance to layer the Mark IV and the Krank together...that weber attenuator can't come soon enough.

This one needs to be sped up a bit, and needs some major re-working on the drum parts.

But I'm really diggin how things are sounding with the PDI-09. That thing is a godsend.

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

Hmm... I dig it a fair bit. Has a nice midrange squish to it, while still being way organic and not mushing out too much.

That said, and this could be a ton of different things... it's not quite as 'in-your-face' as I'd like, which seems to be fairly common with the Palmer clips I've heard. Maybe post processing will help?

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

Zorran's clip has fairly similar tone, though its produced a whole lot better. The drums kick more, and thats a big part of the equation. That and he's got a bass in there filling out a bit more of the low end. Honestly, I think it has a whole lot more to do with the overall mix than the gat tone. My drums suck like hell. I got no bass guitar in there. Thats detracting a whole lot from what it could be IMO .

Its got a whole lot more punch to it than the POD did though. I'll say that.

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

Yeah, could just be the post-processing, then. I know I've gotten my POD gat's to punch like hell on my latest mixes.

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

definitely nice. a lil' dry, but that's kind of like salt, a personal reverb taste thing.

probably the best combo will be these two tracks panned hard L and R, layered with two krank tracks (using the hairy palmer) panned not quite as far L and R.

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

Kinda reminded me of Zakk Wylde. Minus the pinch harmonics.

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

Ya know, you're probably not too far off on that one . This was piratically the first "heavy metal" song I ever wrote...And I was listening to a lot of BLS at the time.

I agree that it's a little dry. I'm gonna spend the next few days trying to re-work the drums a bit as well. My Weber attenuator should be coming in on wednesday too (w00t!!!), so I'll be able to start really exploring my new setup, and gettin some tracks down. I can't friggin wait.

Re: Mark IV / Palmer clips!

Just updated the track...did a little more tooling around on the drums, and added bass. The bass sucks. But its there . And gives a little more body to the track.

I'm thinkin its sounding a tad bit groovier now. Still has a long ways to go, but closer.
