It took me a second to decide whether or not I should take you seriously. The sad part is I actually thought you weren't joking until I clicked "Quote" and saw the link to John Petrucci's site. :smack: :laugh2:
Re: mesa boogie mark IV amp appreciation thread...
"puts flame suit on"... yeah, they're allright, but I'll stick with my Marshall's, just never been a big Mesa fan.... wanted to, but didn't happen!...sorry
Whats wrong with that? I really like his style.. you just blast away alot of times and i like the softer side of things mixed in (Opeth obviously :laugh2: )
I was wondering if apathy was really the same amp, cause it does have a harsher sound to it. What about vulvacure? I still like the sound of the MIV to the peavey because of the smooth crunch it has. Does he use EMGs in his clips?
Hell, Apathy was actually recorded and mixed by my even better friend, James Boyd... that was a stock C-1 Classic into an OD808, XXX, mesa trad cab, and single 57, backed by a DI'd Warwick bass and Sansamp PSA-1 plugin, drums by DFHS.
