*Video Clip* ROUND 3!

Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

What's the story with all of those amps again?? Are they yours or do they belong to a studio?
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

They belong to the studio. On my side there is a Komet, 2x Roccaforte, the VH-4, a Bruno, a few others, and a tonne of combos.

On the other side of the drums is Dr Z, a Bulldog, VHT, another Roccaforte, a Dual Rec, a Herbert ... and a few others I can't think of!!

Bass rig is Aguilar.
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

I really like your tone on the song. What were you playing through?
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

took forever to load...even here at work..but awesome as always Benjamin!


I'm gonna guess Splawn....sounds awful tight...

what pup you running in spidey now, Ben?
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

@ the studio I usually use either a Roccaforte High Gain 80 or a Diezel VH-4. At gigs, it's always the Splawn with either a Rivera or Hiwatt cab.

The VH-4 is the latest version, and it is MUCH tighter than the previous incarnation!! I run it on channel 3 set for mild crunch. The Twilight Drive, literally, is like EVH in a box. The tone gets an enormous, open midrange, with tonnes of harmonic overtones!

Signal chain is VHII-loaded Strat > HBE Twilight Drive (OD for the riffs and OD + clean boost for the solos) > Diezel VH-4 > Diezel 4x12.

Glad you boys like the song/tone!!
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

for some reason....and they didn't really do such Epic type songs as this one here.....but that sounds very Tygers to me for some reason Ben. It's more of a Influence as opposed to actually soudning like Tygers...if thats makes sense.
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

Hey, I'll take it! :)

I love Tygers, of course, as well as many other NWOBHM bands. (Too numerous to list)
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

LOL, I was wondering if anyone would catch that!
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

Really nice tone, man. Kind of "chilled out Adrian Smith" without the "gallactic reverb/delay" he had back in the day. What's a VHII ? is it SD?
 
Re: *Video Clip* ROUND 3!

Thanx, Dr Mavashi!

The VHII is a pickup made by Bare Knuckle Pickups. It's a hot-ish PAF style pup, around 9k DC. I have a switch installed on my Strat that has both a Fender and Gibson tone circuit, both of them simulate the tone control on 9, to roll off some of the biting top end on that guitar (hard ash). On this video, I used the Gibson tone circuit.
