Idk why I kept calling it the Hot Mod in the video. Freudian slip? Anyway, I was 100% using a Mr. Scary mod- I just want to avoid any confusion. I also forgot to mention that I had the base boost switch engaged for the entirety of the video. Thx for watching!
I hear you! The stock Badlander sat better in the mix to my ear. I did have the base switch turned on, which does change the frequency of the amp. I prefer it with the base switch off, that way the original amp frequency is preserved.
I might be different here. In the mix, I thought unmodded stood out more like mesa was designing this during the ice picky guitar sound fad. The mr scary mod made the badlander sound all around fuller/rounder. I like both sounds, it all depends on what the song needs to push it over that edge.
I agree with you. I actually prefer when the base switch is turned off. It keeps the original badlander frequency range but adds definition and a ton of sustain.
For me it sounds so much better stock with a boost! More clarity and definition with a nice growl! The mod sounds too compressed! That’s just my opinion
I think… I’ve spent way too much money and time watching videos and not practicing. They basically sounded the same to me. I’m 40 and wish to be in a band one day so always feel like I need the latest and greatest 😢

I honestly like the clarity of the Badlander stock better. For me too much gain is like not enough gain!

I really like it stock as well. When I use the mod I like to keep the base switch off. That way the amp retains its sound but with some added gain

Hah, I feel ya! It's easy for that to happen. I could stand practice more too...
Better low mid bark and rolled off high end
Yeah it definitely sounds more rounded out with the base switch engaged!
Kinda muddy with the mod...
On this amp, the mod sounds better with the deep switch disengaged. FWIW, on this comparison I had the switch engaged
