Jason, I'm always stoked when you upload. These Frankhouser droughts are like like crossing the Mohave Desert without a canteen, damnit. Fantasy colab: you and Hetfield do an album together. Yeah, I know it's totally unrealistic. But James is an old-school rhythm god, and I think he would benefit from vibing with a player who can keep pace with him, spur him on, challenge him -specifically in HIS wheelhouse -the Right-Hand-intensive, almighty RIFF. God save the Riff.

I used your amp settings at rehearsal and the key for me was volume… I hadn’t turned the amp up loud enough previously, but it sounded really good with the band setting and i had the amp dialed exactly how you did here. Too bad you didn’t include capturing your own ir and adding those in as well. Would have been interesting to see if you could capture the tone from the mics in clone.

Just discovered your channel… Nice videos man! Killer recording setup and tone. I stopped doing guitar videos because I suck at recording and playing (according to the few internet people that actually watched my videos 😂), but I also have one of the Mesa Badlander 100 amps, and it’s amazing! It reminds a lot of the old Rev G Dual Rec, but tighter. And if you switch it over to Variac mode instead of Bold, it even sags and smooths it out like the old Dual Recs. 🤘🏼 The best mod I’ve found was the Legendary Tones Mr. Scary Mod that replaces the V2 preamp tube with 2 tubes and a circuit. It makes this amp a fire breathing monster. It essentially doubles the gain, but cleanly. Before the mod, I had the gain dimed, but after the mod, the amp gain is set on 5/8, with the mod gain maxed out. Give it a shot, it’s amazing what that $320 mod will do for these amps. 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

compared to the Dual Rec how do you like the BadLand? Do you think it's too sculpted or do you like they voiced it to be the right modern rectifier? Some say it is more of a Mesa Mark amp in tone.
@killertone
Жыл бұрын
I like it a lot, actually. It is very different than a Dual Rec so you have to throw the ideas that you have with that amp out of the window as it is not dialed the same at all. They almost shouldn't have included it in the Rectifier series but I do understand why they did, for marketing purposes. It is much easier to dial in than a Mark series amp IMO. The only thing I would want is a little more saturation in the gain as the amp is fairly dry (which is one reason it is tight).
@johnlux6905
Жыл бұрын
@@killertone That is interesting. I get that the amp can be adequately tight w/o a boost, but I wonder, then, if adding an OD could create the extra saturation you are missing. BTW, have you tried the Friedman Buxom Boost? The volume output is significantly hotter than yer average OD so you can slam the hell out of the front end, and it's got the Fortin style HPF (tight), and you have a useful tone and gain shaping section that you can select, or de-select with a dedicated switch. I think you'd like that pedal, if you haven't tried it.

It really comes down to how much low end you want. If you want a fat big low end then the DR is the way./ If you want a tighter but much leaner low end then the Badlander is may the way. That being said, with the right boost the MW DR can get just as tight and have some low end to spare.
