Cheers mate. The lead and rhythm tone are actually the same. I might chuck the OCD on to totally drench the lead before I re-track that solo and write the second one.Yep, pretty good tones there, especially the rhythm guitar. I was looking for some thickness in the lead tone with more of a cutting edge, too - the tone was a little middly and one-dimensional for me. like it was both high-passed and low-passed. The rhythm tone kicked butt, though.
First one- very, very extreme tonally, but some of those high chords sounded excellent in that you could hear every note contributing to the chord. I bet it would sound kick-ass in the context of a mix as a supplementary guitar part.
Horses for courses, then! Style-wise, I kind of expected a bit more Fast Eddie finger vibrato from a self-confessed metalhead like yourself.

Second one, what can I say? Sounds wicked. I can imagine it up front in a mix, no problem.
hahahaha! That's it ...... that's the sound.
Fuckin'ell mate, if God existed he'd have been drowned out by that last clip.
Haha, I'm not a even a metalhead. It's strange, I like to listen to punk and grunge but my own music is always more towards metal. Guess I've just got to live with it.Right.
OK, tonight I changed approaches altogether. Maybe that last song isn't really suited to the 2204 (although I'm gonna keep trying on that). That riff that I posted was a forgotten song off of an album that I recorded while I had the DSL40C, and I was hoping that the 2204 could do a similar job. One way or another, that song will be recorded with this amp. It just doesn't excel at the same things. That'll be interesting.
Here's my weak attempt at some Mick Ronson, something a little more suited to the amp. I brightened up the amp settings considerably, and cranked the preamp. No pedals on this one, everything before the amp is bypassed.
Forgive my shitty attempt at drums on this syncopated riff. I had to add some bass in there as well. I know it's kind of against the grain of the tone thread to add drums and bass, but the guitar isn't very exciting on its own. This is about the first minute or so of "Sweet Head", a bonus track on the Ryko release of Ziggy Stardust. My favorite song about blowjobs

Tad, that sounds great to me. Its actually a little annoying - something you've just done as a tone test sounds better than anything I've ever recorded!OK, tonight I changed approaches altogether.

That's everything it's got....with that guitar. Humbuckers naturally push it a little harder.
It was loud as shit. Like pants flapping loud. This was just a 4x12, so I was standing close and above the beams of sound barreling out of the cab, but I could feel it on my legs. I didn't have earplugs, but I was wearing closed iso tracking headphones. The same cans I wear to track drums. They provide about 30db attenuation. They're the difference between my usually clean hearing and having to use sign language.
sounds great to me too .... very nice .... maybe a bit dark but only a bit .....OK, tonight I changed approaches altogether.
