The Doom Room: ILF Edition

Bass OCD!!!!!

That makes a lot of sense, because although i hear that modified marshall comment too, i've always thought they definitely have their own voice.

All I need now is for someone to buy my Ritual pedal and i can add to my funds for the SLOstortion!

The saturation is a little different than a traditional 'modified Marshall'. Most of those are really modern and preamp-y, but the power section on the Soldano amps I've tried (SLO100, Hot Rod Avenger 50, Hot Rod 100 and Lucky 13) all play a huge role in the sound. You don't really need to crank something like a Fortin or a Diezel to sound good. In fact, playing them loud kinda changes the way they feel and some people don't like it. But like I said, the SLO100 really does like to be pushed. Around the 12 o'clock range is about the sweet spot, from memory. They have a particular saturation to them, and they're extremely omnidirectional, or 3D as people are known to say.

New Cab Day!

Oversized 1x12 for the Traynor. Local dude I found that does AMAZING work.

That looks great. I love how 'vintage' and 'retro' it looks. The finish is more natural looking than an Emperor.

Has anyone directly compared 1st gen and 2nd gen (red knob) Sunn Model Ts? If so, did you prefer one to the other?

I owned a Verellen amp based off the first gen Model T, so I am familiar with that. From my understanding the 2nd gen has a baxandall tonestack. So I assume it would sound somewhat different.

I heard the red knob version was more ideal for bass guitar.

someone tagged me in this on FB, made me laugh

Thanks bro Yeah, ain't the first time I wrestled that bear unfortunately. He won't give up easily, but i keep forgetting that like a stray if you feed him he returns. And yes he does need psychological help, I mean did you see the "who is thebeerhammer" thread? He made an alt and gave it a personality, that of a radioactive beer

That is pretty funny, though, if you think about it. Completely the wrong place for it, but still. I'd say it belongs on the weird parts of Youtube or 4chan (are we allowed to mention that website here?).

HM2 mode #001 coming along

That's definitely your coolest looking pedal thus far.

[new05002]

thanks. I will have a more updated graphic in the for sale versions. Have earthward/chris handle that

It is, but his history is long and sordid here. And yeah it's definitely more suited for certain sections of 4chan, which is where he spends most of his time I'm pretty sure. Oh and yeah you can mention 4chan here no problem.

I'm so excited over it. Dude picks the most beautiful cuts of wood for his cabs and his stain/grill cloth combos are always spot on. I'm thinking later on down the road I might get that stupid 2x8" cab for my Verellen so I can cut glass with my ice pick toanz

[new05002]

yea bro i know i know. Life. But your custom version will be killer!

67 Mustang. He also has a 65 Chrysler Newport along with the 69 Camaro.

Your father is obviously a man of taste and class (even if that mustang isn't a fastback). Does he have any interest in adopting a grown child?

If any of you cats are into country music, you oughta check out Dead Soldiers. http://deadsoldierstn.bandcamp.com/ If you remember iamthearm from HCFX doom room, it's his country outfit and it rules. Plus, Paul from Galaxicon is playin' drums!

Looks like I'll be jamming to this for the rest of mah work day.

YES!

New Cab Day!

That is incredibly snazzy. Does he have a company name/website?

The other guitarist in my band wants some B.A.T. action on his board. At our last practice I let him run my Superbass Revelation into his 5150 and I ran my Superlead prototype into my 2204 while the bassist ran a HM2 into a Hartke head into an 8x10. Probably the best tone any band I have ever been a part of has gotten. Matt ( the guitarist) is definitely sold on Black Arts stuff. I recorded one song with my video camera, I'll try to get it uploaded.

I'm selling my Pharaoh if either of them are interested - older black version without ge.

People play quietly?

I do Even when I play loud it's quiet by Doom Room standards - everything vibrates, but nothing falls off the walls or shelves.

there i go showing my newbie car knowledge. He is getting into buying cars, restoring them, and selling. You can always visit.

Getting closer:

Excited!

You can't have $500,000 condo and play 200 watt tube amps. Your neighbours will think less of you and your lawyer career.



























By the way, I'm just fucking about. I've stopped complaining about rich TGP'ers.

i dunno man... a 30 watter doesn't even being to cut the butter with me.

Then you're playing the wrong 30 watters. In all seriousness, I get why people want/need 100-200 watt amps, but that's most likely because they've played 30 watt amps that aren't supposed to be metal amps, but they're out there. My Fryette Memphis is not loud enough for gigs or overtaking a drummer, but it sounds more Doom than you'd think. The same goes for the Orange Rocker 30 I tried. It has all the characteristics of a true vintage sound, and with a stack of 4x12's, compresses and distorts at just the right volume for a loud drummer. Would it suffice for greedy folks like you and Parker? No, but don't knock 'till you've tried it.

Just because you have 200watts doesnt mean you have to use it all the time, I personally rarely turn up to ear blistering volumes. The main advantage is at gigging volumes i basically have infinite headroom, so my tone remains constant at about any volume that I use in practice or on stage. The problem with lesser watt heads is they may sound clean and perfect at practice volumes but when you take it on the stage and turn up you all of a sudden start getting break up and your clean tone isn't the same and your pedals react differently. That's just my take on it.

This is it for me. My incoming Dunwich will be no good for a Post-Metal show. It would be drowned out and lost amidst a hail of death and fury. But at home or at a solo show it's perfect (I hope!).

Just my humble opinion but most BAT pedals sound best into amps on the verge of breakup, had a hard time liking the pharaoh before I realized that.

I also agree with this. I don't really like clean cleans. I also like a little hair. It's far more dynamic.

Wow.
This one moves even faster than the HCFX one did.
So, um, we finished mixing the new Indian album yesterday.

Legend. My day just became that much more exciting. Welcome, man.

Does he have business details yet, like a Facebook or website?

thanks. I will have a more updated graphic in the for sale versions. Have earthward/chris handle that

What's the story on the graphic? What does it mean?

It is, but his history is long and sordid here. And yeah it's definitely more suited for certain sections of 4chan, which is where he spends most of his time I'm pretty sure. Oh and yeah you can mention 4chan here no problem.

Those that belong on 4chan don't really ever have a clean history. That's why they're there. The dregs of Satan's dead world.

Just kidding. I don't think so highly of myself that those who like to fuck about on 4chan are lower than me. I just think they should stick to where they belong or change and adapt.

[new05002]

meaning? idk it just looks kool. If it means something to u then by all means, that what it means.

I usually dont attach meaning to things like that.

Getting closer:

Excited!

Me too dude. Getting the Rangemaster to work was the ONLY thing that I was nervous about and it worked out just fine!

That is incredibly snazzy. Does he have a company name/website?

Does he have business details yet, like a Facebook or website?

Yep!

He has an ebay shop that is pretty loaded all the time, and puts up a wide range of stuff there.

Here is his website:

http://bcustomcabs.com/

His ebay store:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/bmkisbmx/m.html ... ksid=p3686

Not sure if he has built anything larger than a 2x12 as he only started a year ago, but his shit is ON PAR quality wise with my Verellen.

[CaptainBoxman]

Hey! I'm a 4chan creep. Nothing wrong with me, right? Right? RIGHT?

Thanks! They look like really well made cabs for a good price. When/if the time is right he may be making me a 24x24 1x15 cab

[skullservant]

He'd be down. 24" is the width of my cab in that picture!

[deathmonkey]

Right on. Three footswitches so you can go with either the LSTR or the SHO if felt like it?

Yup I can do individual on/offs and then the master on/off in case I have a part in a song where I have both on then go to completely clean so i can do it with one step instead of two.

Holy shit, skip. I thought i was all smart cause I've been talking to mark about a custom Black forest/ badascan in one enclosure (since i run both anyways.) and I asked about a third footswtich cause i thought i was all genius-like and here i was just ripping off your idea!

People play quietly?

let me tell you a story, my friend. a story that went on a couple of days ago.

i brought an Acoustic Control 230, rated at 160w (SS) at 4 ohms. I brought a Laney 4x12 rated at 4 ohms with 4 Celestion GS-12's, 200w total are rated at 96db. fairly innefficient. i had the Acoustic at about 2 o'clock in volume. this is about 15-25% of the volume i usually play at. i was asked to turn down.

this is what happens in the world outside the doom room. therein lies a sad, miserable wasteland. some people just want to watch the world burn... you know?

We play philly mostly, and usually it isn't a problem. Most of the sound dudes know us by now and our conversations are always cool now. Usually the first time is awkward. We run 2-3 cabs each, I play a 100W and a 120w amp, our other guitarist plays a 100w and may be picking up a second amp soon. Our bassist plays a 200W. We're sort of used to this any time we sound check.

Before we check
Soundman: What do you guys like in the monitors?
Us:Nothing.
Soundman:Nothing at all? No vocals or drums
Us:Nah we're good, actually we're just going to move these out of our way.
After We Check:
Soundman: So I'm just not going to mic you guys
Us: Cool, we'll just play now.


Our Recording engineer does sound for us now and again and he knows by now to just let us do our thing. We're not a very professional band i guess so it's sort of us just playing full volume all the time. We've definitely stopped playing at least one bar cause the sound man wanted us to play at volumes so low our amps weren't even breaking up any more. We played one song and just turned back around and cranked them for the next song.
