FUCK YES THIS ALBUM

anything by matt pike past this point in time is horseshit.

Step the fuck back, guard your grill...

Nope.

Nope.


That album was much too...typical metal.


I mean, also, who the fuck am I? But still.

Also, Blessed Black Wings was still a masterpiece compared to the next two albums.

Good mics are hardly a prerequisite.

Not like 'awesome' mics, been hoping to find a SM57 or two on the craigslist and none have popped up over the summer. All I have is an old cheapy Peavey mic. Was 'surrounded by theives' recorded that cheaply?

Blessed Black Wings is my fave High On Fire album too.

You went a whole three months without seeing one SM57 for sale?


Jesus.

Local CL has been a total wasteland this summer. All the good shit is 85-100 miles away. And the one local store that sells them for a reasonable price is selling chinese knockoffs.

No matter, I've been dealing w/ guitar/amp repairs and pedal kajiggering until recently. Getting my 50 watt Laney back will mean all my shit is working. Then I can sell a pedal or two for mics if I have to.

Ebay??

Also, Shure rebranded the 57 and the 58 as the PG57 and 58. Those often go for less than the SMs:

Buuuuut, for further derailment, how much is a used Shure drum mics set worth; 3 SM57's and a Beta 52? Guy wants $325, but you can get new sets for $360-ish...

MIJ, cheap, and the unsung hero of the line of that era if you can stand rack stuff.

Thanks again for that post. I found one for EUR 36,80
Played it about 1,5 hours yesterday evening. So good! Nice sounds, super tweakable, that i hadn't in my portfolio yet. Earthshaking EQ section - intense! Super happy! So thanks again Duder
BTW, do you have any info what setting is which pedal circuit? (Yes, i could also google, but i asume, you know it better than that stinky search machine.)

I know I could dial in HM2 on either of the two high gain channels without much work, my standard settings are beyond HM into splatter.

There's a DS1 on the gain channel in the second of four options, or on the max on the clean.

The clean section I just have set to make blackface amps sound good.

The manual (available still on Roland's site) will give you settings that generally are decent, my recommendation is to start there and then crank the gain up or down (switch the circuit) and see where you end up.

It's like the Space Echo though, always on in my signal even if it's subtle.

Thanks. Already got the manual.
Yeah, the clean stuff is also very good. Got amazing rhythm chord sounds yesterday.

I used to use an HM-2 before a stereo delay to push a JCM-800-like amp and a Mesa amp in stereo. It was massive and disgusting sounding. I wasn't playing black metal though (didn't know at the time that was A Thing), it was more like pentatonic thrash junk. I wish I had had recording equipment at the time to capture it.
