The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[CaptainBoxman]

Wait until you get to the winter. It's not the harshest or necessarily the coldest, but god damn is it really grim for like 7 months straight.

They like 'em young exotic and male in Brighton...

definitely stoked.

she's working already, two part times. she has her sister there so it was easier for her to move like that.

she's checking houses for us this saturday, and my flight is booked for the 26th.



and yeah, the weather IS gonna suck for me, but it's something i'll have to live with like it or not. good thing is all houses have central heating, which we don't here, so it's only cold outside.

Glad you're looking forward to it. Some people, when they have to move for reasons they wish they had more control over, resent it so much that they don't look forward to it. But it's good to look forward to moving. I'm nowhere near the level of commitment as you but I'm excited about the prospect of it.

The weather isn't actually that bad in Brighton. It's not as bad as Yorkshire where Phil and Ian live. The gap of a few hundred miles does make a difference.

WELCOME BRO TO THE ROOM O' DOOM!!!!!

Great to be here, thanks. And a very cool thread too - I've got a lot of reading to catch up with!

When I found the old Doom Room I read through every post from the beginning, took me about a month but it was worth it.
And holy shit. Tacoma? Pnw getting repped heavy here
Know any drummers?

Yeah, I can't keep up as it is - but let me know when you guys play a show. I just hooked up with a band that's going to keep me pretty busy ...too bad its not with my fuzz pedals though! *You guys know Chris Jones at Guitar Center by chance? Just liked your band on Facebook, from the pics there I feel like I've seen you at Stonegate. And yeah - Tacoma! What a great incubator for Doom the City of Destiny is!

I don't know him, I'm sure we've met but I don't KNOW the dude. Lately GC has been kinda depressing and I kinda avoid it because there is nothing there that can compare to what we use or what the guys here are making.
Shoot me a link to your band on facebook, even if there isn't fuzz I still like checking out and supporting local tunage. I keep finding more people and bands that rule and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface.

Case in point.
Well done man! Thats pretty epic right there. Just the fact that you think this shit up and make it happen is why I love seeing what you are up to.
Have you given any thought to refurbishing and modding old amps? I freaking love my soundtronics and don't really want to change it.... yet. But down the road I could see it getting rehoused, converted to kt88's generally cleaned up. I dunno I guess thats not really your thing and you would probably go nuts looking at the messy wiring would be cool to have it rebuilt to your standards though.

[new05002]

PM me, i dont need any shit talkin about that on this thread

[AxAxSxS]

Shit my bad, will do.

Post 6343 in the thread, and my first.

I enjoy slow, heavy riffs...mostly by musicians who aren't playing Mesas.

[CaptainBoxman]

Well you came to the right place

Just had a flash of recording inspiration and was wondering if anyone here had ever tried something like this, my band is going in to record our second album in June and the engineer mentioned he would like to record a clean amp at the same time as well. Now I know the benefits to running clean with distorted and am planning on implementing this into my live rig...but here was the mixing theory I came up with based on that and wanted to see if anyone had done something similar:

2 4x12 Cabs

Clean Cab A: 1xSM57 1xSennheiser MD421
Distortion Cab B: 1xSM57 1xSennheiser MD421

Mix:

SM57 A panned hard right
Senn A panned 70-100% left

SM57 B panned hard left
Senn B panned 70-100% right

Leaving some fat space in the middle for bass, kick and vox.

Are you going to be re-amping the clean tone into a dirt tone? Swapping sides like that can cause some phase issues unless your dead on with the playing and mic'ing of the cab. It's much easier to keep the mic pairs together, so both Cab A mics hard right and both Cab B mics hard right. But if your going to be keeping the clean tone actually clean then your idea could work but you have to think about how your going to eventually mix it in, if your keeping it clean it will be barely audible if at all so splitting the signal into two different mics maybe fruitless. The subtle differences of the mics would get lost in the mix and it could cause more phase issues. Your better off IMO doing one clean take with one mic then duplicating it and and putting them both at hard pan L/R, then when you record the dirty guitar you do the 2 mic's and hard pan them as well it should give you a really full sound and the clean overlay will definitely help with note definition. Do the most with the least amount of mics and takes, and your engineer will love you.
