  • Hey welcome back everyone, had fun trying to mic up the massive tone of Puppets today. Please don't be offended by the mistakes in my playing. I haven't practiced these songs in a while.
    Thanks for tuning in again, feel free to email me with any questions at Lambchopper678@me.com Subscribe to the channel and follow on me Facebook lambchopper6...

    I love the fact that people in their 40's and 50's (me) are chugging away and playing deadly metal and having fun! I can't imagine my old man doing shit like this at his age and it makes me happy seeing older metal heads CRUSHING it out!! Great work LambChopper678!! just think, in ten years seniors centres will be playing hip hop and metal and rave! lol. some already are.

    Wow, that's a chuggy tone. The main thing I like from this tone is that is not that chunky and has a nice amount of high mids while obliterating mids, giving that sparky, bright and spiky sound. It's not a meaty, mid range sound like the one in the Black Album or in RTL, but rather a very metalish sound. Which gives space for the bass to be fat and full of sound.

    I used to have a Mark V 90 combo that was glorious. I sold it to help pay for an engagement ring to my now wife of 8 years. Now I’ve got a pretty good collection of gear but mostly British amps. Those never quite scratch that Mesa itch though, and with so much gear I could never justify the purchase of another Mark V 90. Last year I found a good deal on a used Mini Rectifier and took it. I’ve kind of enjoyed it, but I spend way too much time fiddling with the knobs trying to dial it in and am never fully satisfied. I’m always trying to make it sound more like a Mark. After watching this video I’m buying a Mark Five 25. Thank you, sir.

    Awesome job! I've had a Mark V 25 since they came out, but it occurs to me I've never tried to dial in a specific MoP tone, just a nice round crunch tone in general.
    Did you attempt the rhythm tones on the IIc+ mode before going to the crunch channel? One would think the IIc+ channel would also be a good starting point, given that's what James had in his aresenal at the time. I agree this thing can be very finicky to dial in!

    • @Kevslatvin
      @Kevslatvin 4 роки тому

      In one of his other videos he says something about the IIc+ mode being the lead channel from that amp and he likes the crunch mode of channel one better. He did do a video of this amp where he tries to dial Justice tone in on the IIc+ channel and it sounds pretty good but the crunch mode may be just a little better at it. I know at least one of those videos is newer than this one.

      I know they had the mismatched preamp and power amp in the studio but it’s a little pointless using the two different heads in this case as I don’t have the rest of the gear in the chain to complete the signal. The main piece to the puzzle is the B&B aphex eqf-2. Without that you can only get so far. The small difference a power amp makes is pretty insignificant for my budget setup.
