Looked up their equipment and was surprised they are Mesa Boogie users. Cool. One of them also plugs into non-amp software, but the other says they heavily use the Mark II C+ amp for the specific crunch, and both guys have the Duel Rec's in their equipment list.

They must defy the "scooped mids" that a lot of Mesa users like to do with the settings. And I like it. I've been raising the mids on my Mesa lately to find a more satisfying tone.

Totally! Dimebag sounded great with scooped mids. But I truly believe tone is in the fingers. Scooped mids sounds killer at low volumes. We had a guy try out for my band as a second guitar player. He started warming up, had a Mesa, and scooped the shit out of the mids. My drummer said "See Kenny! That Mesa has massive "balls!". Then we started jamming and he changed his mind lol. My drummer now plays Orange amps (he is a good guitar player).


Mesas sound fantastic if you crank the mids a little. Playing live, you need mids to cut through. I see a lot of metal players cranking the gain all the way up trying to get that massive sound you hear on records. But, on records, guitar players do like 4 or more tracks. That is where they get that massive sound. Trust me.....I'm still learning all this shit. Lol. Its fascinating to me.

I think Mesas sound even better cranking the mids even more than a little. My EQ setting is totally not the "scooped"/V shape like I usually see too. It's more of a wave now. I'll take a picture of it sometime next week probably. I think that scooped mids trend is probably what killed your enthusiasm about them in the first place lol.

Tigg's back pain or my discovery of Rammstein using California based amps?

I am amused now that most of my main gear has become California based: Music Man Majesty guitar, Mesa Boogie Mark V: 35 watt combo amp, I've long used Ernie Ball strings, and I have Ernie Ball picks lol. I think Fender is still California based too, so there's my Arizona Sun Fender Strat, and Fender cables.

Still would like to get a Diezel VH in there someday That German crunch is mighty.
