Finally have a tone worth showing

[schecter4life]

AHHHH i always screw something up in my mix...this tone sounded sooooooo perfect to me i almost shat a brick, but then i noticed my subwoofer's volume was all the way down...i turned at back to normal only to realize i had just a little too much bass in my tone...the tone hunt...it never ends

It's hard to tell with so much fizz on top of the tone but generally you want to be low-passing around 8 kHz and high-passing around 80-100 Hz. Then you might find some isolated nodes of room excitement or cab fizz that you want to get rid of so get a parametric EQ, tighten the Q value as much as possible and set it to maximum boost, then drag the frequency around until you find the horrible junk frequencies and cut them a bit (not too much otherwise you'll ruin the character of the cabinet).

THIS^^ THANK YOU SO MUCH OXIDATION

Sounds absolutely great dude! Would like to hear it in a full mix.

sounds good, but I think you could back off the gain a little, it's very fizzy and sounds like the gain is at 10

sounds cool and all, but lacks clarity. In a mix it'd sound like a cloud of guitars. Work those low mids
