Sorry about that I made a typo in my above post and didnt realize it. Its 6 volts not 16volts. 12ax7 can operate between 6.3volts and 12.6 volts on the heater filaments. Why would wonder if the tubes are used for tone? Dont take this the wrong way but try googling some basic tube amp theory and...
Yes that is what you see glowing. V1 A and B are both hot with 6.3 volts what Sacred Groove described above would result in a module that doesnt work if I am understanding what he wrote correctly.
depends on the module. Some dont use the first side of tube 1. All the high gain modules use all 4 gain stages though. If you hold the module up to a light with it removed you can see the traces are layered so some are invisible unless viewed with a backlight. Hope the helps
That is not accurate. Standby kills the high voltage from the input transformer after the recitifer and the B+ filter section to all of the amp including the preamp section. The tubes continue to glow because the heater circuit is split off the input transformer and goes through its own rectifier.
Oops I appologize LOL :oops:
There is no right or wrong, and I could go on for hours about how I actually mix. What I was explaining in my post is what I do on the front end of the track when I am recording. So all the eq would be done with an off board eq. Knowing that most people on here...
Ok so I thought I would put together a little tutorial on EQing heavy nu-metal style guitars. Like in
all genres of music you have to get the best sound coming out of the speaker you have choosen to
mic. That being said I personally think the heavy modern sound when recorded prior to any eq...
Sorry Ive got a bit off topic here but I wanted to post some examples. Here is what I was refering to when it comes to cymbal.
This is a standard high freq eq sweetener shape for overhead drum mics

And this is how most heavier overhead mics are eq'd...
Um not to be contrary but Slippy has never said that. Here is the post you are speaking of from Slipperman
Mojo I respect your wish to stay pure to tone, but in todays industry it is a requirement and any good AE that says they dont use heavy eq on heavy guitars is liar.
As far as...
All I did was run your clip through Voxengo Boogex with a Mesa cab ir loaded then copied the track and sent it through a Marshall cab ir. Then just jockeyed the faders to shape the sound a bit. Some corrective EQ could help with the clarity in the lowend during the chugs where the accent notes...
Here are the parts that need to be changed and the value they should be. That will get you there then you can fine tune these values to taste. Lotus1 on here has a sick sounding Plexi mod he did, Im sure he will chime in if he sees this thread.
