    Hey friends, new tone test day! Here we have a shootout between a Dual Caliber DC-3 and the Mark IIC+ using a LTD Camo Snakebyte with the EMG Het Set. Triple tracked with the Traditional G12T-75 cab, the riff is from one of my band ‪@TIGHTENmetal‬'s songs. We're going straight in, no boost. Which tone do YOU prefer?

    Good demo man!
    Like to hear the raw without effects and processing to hear and know that the amp actually sounds like.
    Now, would be cool to hear a version without the gate :-)
    Let's hear how that feedback and natural growl go! Controlled and uncontrolled and let loose!

    Absolutely orgasmic tones from both amps! The Mk IIC+ is a little bit clearer and fuller though and it also has a little bit more bass.
    Also going going by what another bloke in the comments said, do you reckon you could do a comparison between the Mk IIC+ and a .50 Calibre+. I'm curious to see how much it sounds like a Mk IIC+.
    Also also, I reckon the End In Fire riffs sound much better in E standard than on the original recording. Just has a bit more of an edge to it imo

      Thanks! Yeah there's no way I can sing in E standard, so the tuning for the band is purely driven by the vocals.
      No plans on getting a 50 cal, sorry!

    Wow, bro how did you get this tone on DC-3? I have a '95 DC-3 combo with Vintage Black Shadow speaker, and tone of my amp absolutely not like that. What settings you using?

    • @TIGHTENmetal
      @TIGHTENmetal  Месяц назад

      It's not about the settings, you have to use a sealed cab. Combos do not metal. Here I'm using a traditional 4x12 w/ G12T-75s.

    I am a lot like you in the fact that I constantly trade and buy different boogies(it keeps life interesting). What is your current stable and what's your current favorite? I am currently back on a 90 watt Mark V and Triple Crown 100.

      True story. Amps come & go, but my favorite for years has been the loop modded Mark IIB. It just destroys everything in its path.

    So this confirms that Metallica could have used Marshalls for all albums, just as long as they put an eq pedal in front of it. I mean... EL84 scooped sounds the same as 6L6 scooped.

    • @Albee213
      @Albee213 Год назад +2

      The EQ is used much like a booster in front of a Marshall to get that tight crunch, the EQ after the gain stage (loop on a Marshall) is how you sculpt the sound. The Mark serious just rolls up both into a small package.

    • @reneotten7376
      @reneotten7376 Год назад

      @@Albee213 o don't get me wrong, I prefer Mesa. My Express is much more versatile than any Marshall amp. But some people claim that some Metallica albums wouldn't exist if Mesa amps didn't exist, and I don't agree with that. It is all about tone shaping, talent, and production. Metallica would have made those albums nevertheless.
