Haha dude, I was just messing around. The hair metal queer comment was more about the amp tech stuff I found out in the internets. The people explaining these mods were talking about the Dokken sound or something like that. Lol. I don't like the 80s teased-hair spandex rock, but I've always generally liked the guitar sounds. Those first two Motley Crue albums kick ass though!
I know you were just messing around dude, I just laughed my ass off when I read that, literally outloud....I couldn't stop for a few minutes, it just grabbed me....
I've just always been a fan of the 80's metal thing, & always will be....I saw Motley Crue 3-4 times back in the day dude, plus lots & lots of the others...
Anyway, yeah that is what it sounds like. A clean overdrive pedal pushing the amp. Now that I know how easy it is to tweak these mods to taste and understand why, I can fine tune them to dial in the sound a little more. I'm gonna keep it like this for now and see how it performs in a loud band setting. I especially like how the mids and highs are getting the gain while the low end has tightened up and stayed mostly unaffected. The amp acts like it has more headroom now. It's more responsive. But it's gotta still cut through live, so we'll see how it goes tonight.
It does sound good, I'd love to be able to hear it in the room man, I know the recording is what we're after for here, but again, I'd love to be in the room to hear the difference...Sounds great dude!!!!
All you need now is a pointy guitar with a Floyd-Rose...

I've always liked the G12-65s with this amp. They just work good together. I guess it's no surprise since the 65s were made to pair up with these early master vol Marshalls. I told ya they are the shit!
Super speakers dude, I was actually kinda nervous about getting a Celestion re-issue, because I didn't know if it'd sound worth a fuck or not, & I can't compare mine to the old/real ones, but I'm more than happy with the one I got, so much so, I'll probably end up with a 4x12 of 'em eventually....
Thanks. I hope so. I'm nervous about it. I got the full green-light from the boss (Mrs Greg_L) so it's a go. I just have to do more homework to make sure I get the right transformers for the layout I wanna use. The Metro kit is looking mighty attractive and it gets stellar reviews. I'd hate to fry out those top-shelf components though.
You'll do fine dude, just keep us posted....You might wanna think about having it hot-rodded (maybe like my Chupa, just a thought...) with some options to switch in/out, unless you're just wanting a bone-stock sounding 1987x....I'm sure whatever you decide will be awesome & again, you'll do fine dude....
Yeah get one. I think it's a really smooth mic but has a cleaner top end than the 57. It's not as spiky. It's the kind of mic you can use further out from the center of the speaker for more chunk but still maintain good clarity.
I almost got an i5 instead of the e609, it was just kind of a "well....this one" thing, but I'll get one, just like all this other shit, it'll just take a little time...I've plunked down quite a bit of $$$ on this shit since summer.....but I ain't done yet....

Lol. Hows this one anyway? Is she gonna be cool? That last one looked hot but she was mental, right?
Yeah, she had issues man...I mean she was a sweet girl & all, we had fuckin' awesome sex, she was pretty damn good looking too, but I saw that she wasn't all there at times, & I'm sure it would've came out more & more as I was around her more & more, so, I bolted.....lol...
.
The new one seems really cool too, but time will tell dude....Just like the last one (the brunette, this one's a blonde), the more time I spend around her, the more I'll really figure her out...I did tell her if she couldn't handle loud-ass fuckin' rock-n-roll music that I wouldn't be around very long, so we'll see...She actually wants me to drag my rig up to her place to check it all out, so maybe in a week or two, I might do that...Just for a weekend though, not jumping into anything at all dude, taking my time, testing the waters.....She is really cool so far though, but like I've said about all of 'em, the real test will be if she can handle my loud-ass music hobby or not....If she can handle the DSL > 4x12 on about 4-5 for a few hours, she might be a keeper....
