I thought the speaker was the whole point. :o

Well homeboy is forced to use, in my opinion, one of the worst speakers out there - the K100. He has to use it because it's one of the few reasonable priced readily available guitar speakers that can handle 100 watts all by itself. Then he takes that naturally harsh and shrill speaker, IMO, and puts it in a drum shell full of foam, carpet, and a pillow which does nothing but isolate the speaker even further which kills all of it's bass response, and makes it stiff and even more harsh and shrill. I'm not trying to re-open this can of worms, but there's a reason speakers are typically put into large air-filled enclosures and not just crammed into the tiniest package possible.

THE K100 is the best speaker for lead tone...
the sustain is unmatched...

the bass on my lead was 6 and the treble was about 5....I think that is personal taste also...

I use less bass on lead...

but how about them screaming harmonics...

Lol! No, let's be real here, please. You might like it, and that's fine if that's your personal taste, but the reality is that it's one of the few 100w speakers that's readily available and can dependably be used in your single-speaker design. And, that speaker is the cliche typical "metal" speaker. Win/win for you. Nevermind that you can't use other better sounding speakers because they will blow out if pushed by a high watt amp. Your potential customers are forced to use that nasally harsh speaker, or use a lower wattage amp with a better sounding speaker. Ugh. :(

Yeah, my poor ears were screaming for mercy.

I'm an analog and tape fan, but you're getting some heavy signal distortion in the low freqs. Is that intentional or no? I'm guessing yes, and the trick is going into the r2r hot to get it, which could be a cool effect on the right song.

I did this today..!!!

the verb and delay is personal taste

Wow, I feel like I'm back in the '80s!

I can't really tell enough about the klops because of the effects. If you were demonstrating your effects chain or your playing or something, cool, but imo they are masking the signal. Could you post something with a little less OD and no effects, maybe some chunky rhythm lines or something? That is what I would want to hear if I was a prospective buyer.

Slow down there, slick. My studio doesn't even have a computer in it, I rarely use this computer to look at graphs, and I'm also an '80s guitarist. If you're glued to an '80s sound, post up the riffs to Cinderella's Shake Me and Whitesnake Slide It In sans the effects. Those should be good rock tones to demo your product.

Same here. Well, after playing in several cover bands prior to. Post up some of your own riffs, fine, just don't drown them in effects so we can hear your product.
