Randall T2HL youtube vid - Random Death/Black/Tech-thrash metal riffs..

[Phantasmagoria]

Just a collection of random doom-death/tech-thrash/death/black metal riffs with my Randall T2HL (Tube/SS hybrid) head recorded at bedroom levels. Recording Levels were set a bit low with a whole lot of outside noise/interference ..so not exactly studio quality audio ...but good enough for a general idea...




Mic'd (45° / 1" off-centre - against the grille) with a cheap chinese SM57 knock-off plugged into the 3.5mm mic input of my digital handheld recorder.

Single recorded track - (speaking/bedroom volume)

No reverb/effects in front or in the loop. No pre/post production.

EQ unchanged for all clips except for minor tweaking of the "Sweep " & "Density" controls from clip to clip.

Amp control settings @ 4:58 in the video

Guitar: Jackson Dk2 - Lace Alumitone Deathbucker pup in the bridge.

Watch @ 480p for (slightly) better sound..

....and here's the .wav file of the audio track alone

Youtube really messes the (already not too stellar..lol) sound up & takes the edge off things....but it's fun making cheesy vids haha..

I just love the Deathbucker. Nice sound!

Thanks! yeah...me too man, it's probably my favourite bridge humbucker ever. Really full/meaty sounding & very 'open' & warm, yet always stays tight & lively/punchy. Clean/Lead tones are over-the-top awesome as well. Excellent pup, but it does need to go into the right guitar..

Another video /more clips..this one's with my BC rich/EMG 81

Levels were set a bit low again (wish I could get the hang of this ..there's always some noise & hiss) , but this time ..figured out I needed to switch off the recorder's phantom power to the mic when recording (it's a dynamic mic). That really improved the quality of the recording (less harsh & less noise) compared to my other video with my Jackson Dk2/Lace Alumitone deathbucker. Also I think mic placement was better this time around..

Anyway:

Guitar: BC Rich Ironbird Pro

Amp: Randall T2HL (100 watt Tube/SS hybrid head)

Cab: Bugera 4x12

Single dry guitar track, no reverb or effects. No pre/post production.

Recorded with an SM 57 clone against the cab grille - plugged into an iKey Audio HDR7 digital handheld recorder.

Random power chord chugs, a riff or two & a few licks..

Ice pick attack warning @ 0:27 Played that too high up

*BUMP*

Another clip/demo..this time I upped the whole viewing experience with my movie maker skillz...

Got some sloppy cleans down here for the intro & a doomy improv solo with the Deathbucker....

Recorded same as the others..I'm getting better with the mic placement, still need a better mic though.. :lmao:
