Triple Iz-X clip

[Endtime]

What in the wat?

Anyway I think I posted this song before. This was literally written 30+ years ago. I started it when i was 15 and took awhile til it was fully completed but that’s how it was back then trying to be great at 15-16! Haha .

I used the XxX here, but no boost. I did use a 6 band up front, but not to boost. Just shave a little low end off. I used to use this amp straight in for years. I actually hated it with a boost. But eventually got it to work, but one thing about the xxx straight in, is it isn’t a super punchy amp, but super saturated. And it has this rich saturation that can kinda get lost when boosting.. I think this clip shows that saturation fairly well.

Again using the 5150 cab , stock speakers, mic is a beta 57. I think I’m gonna go with this tone for this song. I think it really fits well. And while I didn’t get my Ultra 60 with a 5150 cab til I was a senior in high school, that was my first true rig. And this is essentially that! So it’s “period correct!” Haha

So, some of us have been around each other for over a decade and there are some players here that I associate with certain tones.
This is EndTime tone to me lol not that the other clips you posted aren't good, they are, but that's the classic.

Hah nice. Well, i think that’s prolly accurate. The 5150 combo and this were my main tones forever. And while the combo and xxx aren’t super close, the combo 5150 definitely had more saturation compared to the head. So for me, those 2 amps were inerchangeable. Even tho there was that difference, when I’d record with em, there wasn’t a massive difference. So I can see the “classic” sound, cause essentially this IS it. Lol

Thanks man

i agree with this assessment

Yeah that’s classic EndTime tone. And it reminds me why I stil have a soft spot for the Triple XXX. I used to be in a band with another guy who had one and as soon as I hit play on your clip, I immediately thought “yep that’s a Triple XXX.”

[FAKA!]

And because I literally wrote this 30 years ago l. When I was 16, it was a pretty “big” moment cause I felt, NOW I actually wrote a killer song. So I’m working on a bunch of songs to release soon. Working with a vocalist but as I was doing rough vox for him to hear how it went, I started feeling like, it’s either the original Vocalist, who was practically a damn pro. Recorded some fairly big (big to us, released in Metal Blade records etc) albums , but he’s long since let me down for getting shit done and he just doesn’t really do music anymore it seems. So point was, if it wasn’t him, who we started this “band” back in 1993 when he was an exchange student from Germany, then it’s gonna be me on vocals..

So here’s a completed version with my daily lame buy honest attempt at death metal vocals! Haha. It’s not the first time I’ve stepped behind the mic, but I’m just the high scream guy. Full songs and trying to growl isn’t my strength. But whatver. It’s for me really.

Also I didn’t use the xxx tracks. I ended up using the 5153 el34 on the red channel. Mic’d the Evh speaker that goes with it. Used the Beyerdynamic m201. Just felt a little more death metal to me..
