Hey guys, so after using my podxt for like the last 2 years, i have finally acquired an engl powerball and miked it up to see the results.
I personally love the sound cuz it sounds the way i try to get the podxt to sound but just cant quite pull off.
But then again i cant record silently with it (so podxts are still cool in my book haha), though this clip was recorded with an sm57 hastily placed in front of my mesa 2x12 and at low volume cuz i live in an apt. I left my tubescreamer and ns2 at my guitarists house after our last show so i used the tubescreamer stomp model and the gate on the podxt to simulate those in front of the amp.
For the drums i used the demo of Sonor of Metal that comes with drumkit from hell superior which is basically a section of the song "vanished" by meshuggah cuz im lazy like that hahah!
And the bass and the solo were podxt cuz i did those afterwards.
The guitar was my swamp ash carvin 747 with a Lundgren M-7 in the bridge.

Anyways enough talking here is the clip:

:bowdown: That was so unbelievable heavy. I think that was actualy heavier than the original :13:

Damn! That was tighter than a fishys moula-moula hole! You'd pulled the solo off very damn close to Fredrik Thordendal. I'm extremely impressed.

Dude, "Forever and a half" kicks!!!! :headbang:

And the solo part of "Seven Hundred Seven" 00:50 - 01:12 is freaking awesome!!!!

That is so rediculously heavy and tight for a low volume recording. Good work!
