If you're not fussed about gaming on a PC then there is no point investing in a fancy card. RAM is more important with rendering, I'd say.

i thought 10's don't do well on low end...I'm talking about guitar not bass though...
I've never played guitar through 10s so I'm not sure how they hold up. 8x10s on bass sounds huge though.

I just wanted to thicken up the bass/lo mids a little bit, thinking Pharaoh might do a good job? I'm just looking for a fuzz to use a slight bass boost and maybe add a little extra character.
Pharaoh will work, but a Revelation Superbass excels at this.

Also, totally got kicked out of the FCOAW for asking a question about cabs
I've been wanting to pick up a 100 watt one to go with my 50 watt, but they've been harder for me to find AND the prices have been climbing lately. What'd you pay for yours, if you don't mind me asking?
£400 broski

I know of a 100 watter in the UK selling as well for the same price

Skip, I finally got around to messing around with the drum tracks today. I eq'd the main mics and added some compression and reverb to both the main mic and the room recording from the Zoom. Blended them together and I think they came out nicely. I need to take a little bit of the decay off of the snare's reverb though. The clean guitars are gonna get rerecorded. I don't like the clean tone, but I was just messing around with my effects to see what I liked.

Ok I was looking at the Superbass too and couldn't tell if the Pharaoh or Superbass would be better. I'll be on the lookout for one.

which one are you thinking about? I'm really considering this one...

i've also got a pair of cream humbuckers that i have set aside for them.
I've had my eye on the black/gold one. They are both 220s so should be exactly the same other than color.

I still prefer the sound of the Duncan Distortion in my LP, just for stock pickups on a cheap guitar the Ibanez pups are very good.
Right on. Makes me feel less wary of the lower models pickups. If the 320 and up had awesome sounding pickups, I would probably rethink the black one.

When I had my Dark Terror I eventually stopped running pedals into it at all. Just sounded better without them.

Having said that, yeah, a Pharaoh would probably be a good choice for what you were looking for.

The bass player from Monobrow did the dual 4x12's for bass and it turned out great IMO.
I thought he had dual 2x15's and an 810? Pics, link, or specs?

I wish I knew anything about the hardware end of computers. I record on Logic, which exclusive to Macs, but I would really like to be able to have a rack mounted computer just for recording. All I need is a fast processor, lots of RAM, USB and Firewire connections. No crazy sound or video cards really needed (audio runs outboard from the interface). I prefer Logic to Pro Tools because it's all native, but that's also the drawback, really uses up a lot of processing power and RAM doing very dense mixes. Especially if I'm going back to do overdubs after I've already started using a lot of plugins. I know people do the "hackintosh" thing, but I know zip about all that stuff.

He posts here. You should PM him under the guise of wanting to buy his Iron pig and just grill him about cab choices.


Also AA just buy a fridge already.

Does anyone run a Pharaoh> Demon King? If so how is it? I've decided to revisit the Pharaoh again and I'm just about some experiences with that combo.

On another note I run a 810/215 with folded horn and I like that combo. I'd like to get one more of each. I probably won't attempt that for a while though.

Yeah, right now I run an 810 and 215 through the SVT and it sounds excellent, but the 215 is overpowering.

For you guys who like Red Album-era Baroness and early Torche. And a dash of Kvelertak.

Thinking of beefing up my far side guitar rig. Currently only playing a 212 (4 ohms / 16 ohms). Thinking between adding another 2x12, 4x12, a 4x10, or a 1x15. Trying to add a hair of thickness and low mids. Thoughts? This would be for my Sound City 100 which I run a Rat Tail and Bluebeard in front of. Anyone playing either of the last two combinations I mention?

Ok, my brain hurts...

I know one of us played a gig at the 5th Dimension in Tacoma a while back. I can't fucking remember who it was. Anyways, we're playing there on the 21st with Thrones and Hot Victory, I want to know how much room we'll have to set up in. If I bring 3 amps it's kind of a large footprint. I can get away with 2 amps and 2 cabs in a small space. I'd like to work out what I'm bringing ahead of time and get it set up for that.

My brain sucks...
