New clip with my PRS McCarty, Its ****ing metal

[krankguitarist]

Seriously. Thats what its called.

Decided today was as good as any to do a little clippage. This is done with my PODxt and DFHS. The drums need work, I'm gonna be mixing em a bit more tomorrow. But, for the moment, this aint too bad.

*Update* I've messed around with the drums a bit, and just re-did the second half of the clip with the A8 Custom/59 hybrid I just installed in my McCarty. The chance happens around the 36 second mark.

Nice thick tone! I had a McCarty Rosewood a while ago and it did NOT sound that good. I think the solid rosewood neck robbed it of it's definition.

Cool clip, man.

0:35 is the best point.
Rreally great tone!Not enough defined ,but it's more your amp i think!The tone "color" is awesome!And nice playing man!

Its partially the POD, partially the Dragon II pickup in the bridge. The Dragon II sounds very JB-ish to my ears...its got a real loose bottom end to it. I'll probably end up swappin it out eventually with a custom or a full shred...that'll make things nice and tight .

McCartys don't come stock with Dragon II's - those to my knowledge only come stock in the Custom 22, unless you specifically ordered it otherwise.

It was a used piece, when I picked it up the tag said it had Dragon II's installed by the previous owner. Though, I haven't quite opened it up and checked on that yet .

Yeah i see the point now!:fingersx:
Why you guys never try a PATB?:smack:
A PATB2 will hit the nail!Not loose ,not too much tight like a custom.Just teh best of two worlds.Tightness and wideness!

I've only ever tried the PATB-1, I'd love to try out the PATB-2, but I couldn't quite swing it cosmetically on this guitar...I'd kinda like to keep the guitar looking stock .

except, dammit, I can't get a FS with a chrome cover. Unless I swap some of the screws. Hmmmm....

I'll change my comment to "I've never seen a PATB with a cover"

Point me in the right direction, bro .

You just have to know that the PATB2 is more compressed and is "wider" in tone.I will try mine with an ALNICO V magnet.MAybe it will give more dynamics.But it's the best SD i ever heard or used (okay Brobucker and Screamind Demon are another class)
I don't know who told it here ,but you can search here for the covers for PATBs.

Re: New clip with my PRS McCarty, Its ****ing metal

I just updated this track, mixed the drums a bit better, made a couple of changes to the beats. I'll be re-recording this one as soon as I get my new pickups in my McCarty (A8 custom/59 hybrid, PGn) so we can all check out the difference between the stock pups and the duncans .

Re: New clip with my PRS McCarty, Its ****ing metal

Good stuff dude! Playing and tone is awesome. The drums sound great too. Did you have to program all the beats in DKFH or do they have loops?

 

[doveman]

Re: New clip with my PRS McCarty, Its ****ing metal

Cool ... do you like the DFHS drum system?

 

[krankguitarist]

Re: New clip with my PRS McCarty, Its ****ing metal

I had to program in the beats...no loops here. As for DFHS, its got a bit of a learning curve, but its definitely a great tool. It'll never replace a real drummer for me, but its great for just layin down recordings.

Though, I don't claim to be a drummer, nor know much about drumming...sometimes my drummer laughs at me when I show him my programmed beats. I didn't think I did all too bad on this one though .

nice little clip!

Re: New clip with my PRS McCarty, Its ****ing metal

Nice!

I terid the WCR Fillmore in my McCarty, a Rio grande BBQ, and now I have a Wolfetone Caretaker set.

I still always feel my McCarty lacks something in tone compared to my LPs.

I just see 'em as a different flavor really. I've got a Gibby LP studio lite, a PRS McCarty, and a PRS singlecut. I find that the my Paul Reed Smith's are a bit more refined sounding than the gibson, and overall a bit clearer.

I gotta say though, the only LP's I've ever played that have even come close to feeling as good as my McCarty or singlecut was a historic R7. Something about the way a PRS feels...they just play like buttah.

I just swapped out the pickups in my McCarty as well, the dragon II's are gone, In their place is an A8 Custom/59 hybrid and a PGn. I just expanded on this tune a little bit a couple of nights ago, I'll try to get around to mixing that down and posting it today.
