metal muff again haha

buy multieffects laa.
the one with amp modelling.
u got all in one and portable also.

and it's so much fun to tried find the sound yourself.
and it's fun also to give up at the end and lazily go to internet to find the patch. hahahaa..

go with the multy FX 1st

METAL MUFF FTW!!

yeah..for starters best start with multy fx...so u dont have to pening2 search what is the best pedal to use..
but i recommend later if u want a gud distortion pedal or should i say brutal distortion type of tone,use EHX METAL MUFF..
add noise surpressor and eq..then its up to u if u want other optional pedals to use..

someone once told me that u can get practically any sound with a DS-1 + TS808 + Boss EQ & Noise suppressor & Compressor sustainer + Wah pedal + Delay.....but if u're an effects guy,throw in some chorus and flanger.....basically its up to u....gotta go around n try some stuff before deciding....

i tink tats for the TONE guys
after playing for sometime, wen u get great sounding guitars
u start to appreciate TONE

den u wud wan less gain...
too much gain and u cant get to hear tone

ya tats the classic pedals
wah > ds1 > ts808 > eq > chorus > phaser > delay

no need noise suppresor, compressor sustainer haha

1 question here. How is DS1 more popular than DS2 when DS2 has DS1 basic tone + another turbo mode?

Yup... MFX is really convenient and provides a decent enough sound for high gain playing...

Some clips of the POdxt LIVE:

I'm using a Micro Metal Muff for all Metallica/Megadeth stuffs.

it can capture the tone of the pre-Black album days pretty damn accurately, provided you have a 'metal' enough guitar.

for more modern metal, the high gain models on my Vox AD30VT seems to be able to cut it, although slightly lacking in gain.

but yeah. for '80's thrash metal and everything along that line, I daresay you can't go wrong with the Metal Muff

should try electro-harmonix stuff.....wicked man

Yup... It is really helpful for shaping your tone...
It's just like the Graphic EQ on the Mark series amp...

The preamp goes into the graphic eq and acts as the final tone-shaping tool before your sound "goes out"...

yeah i know but i dont know how to set it up to shape my tone...in the end ijust dont use it but i want to...
when u say Mark series amp did u mean the Mesa Boogie Mark series?

Yup...

I haven't touch the EQ settings for quite some time...

But IIRC, you'll need to choose which frequency to boost with one knob and how much to boost/cut with another knob... At the end of the day, it is the graphic eq on the mesas, just in numbers... I normally boost my lows and highs, and cut a little of the mids... But my main sound from the amp modeler is still middy... I like the mids to be eq-ed this way...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......like that ka??????i will definitely try when i get back from work...tomorrow i have a show so quite worried about my tone....my band members always say my guitar is abit treble-ish....i want to balance things out....i play alot of solos and i want my notes to be clear....

You can download the clips and see whether you like it or not, I'm pretty happy with the Under the Influence sound...
I've uploaded my PODxt LIVE patches... It's more or less the same with the patches I used for the recordings...

coool man....thanks a million..wat amp modelling do u use and do u use a distortion or just use the gain from the amp models?

I've uploaded two patches... One using the Cali Crunch (Mesa MkIIC+) and the other using the treadplate (Mesa Dual Recto)...

They are distinctly different though...
The Mark cuts through really well, generally more middy sounding... I've used this patch for all my clips, and use this as my main sound on stage too...
The Recto has a more scooped sound, great for Metallica... Sounds much more saturated to me...

hmm.....i use the diamondplate (triple rect) and bomber uber (bogner uberschall) for my rhythms and heavy stuff respectively and i use the diezel lead (which is awesome, really cuts thru the mid and my notes are quite clear) for my solos with all of them running thru the tube screamer....for my clean i use the double reverb which i love so much.....

I tried the expansion pack... But then found that I still the old sound... So I'd stick to it...

But the diezel does sound impressive...

yeah the diezel is pretty sweet....i find that its alot more convenient to setup ur gear by using gear box...the one thing i wish that the XT Live must have is the dual tone capability....being a Mark Tremonti fan, he mixes two different amps for his rhythm stuff which produces his signature tone...and my cousin has the X3 Live which is capable of doing that which i am quite jealous heheheh....but i hear X3 Live has a lot of problems....
