GuitarBizarre

I was using a VOX AD30VT with a £5 microphone I bought from a computer shop. He was using a Behringer 4x12 half stack with a Firewire interface and a Shure mic, the model of which I forget. I was playing a Viper 400, he was playing either a DV8 or his RR5. He had better equipment than me on every level but his tone was terrible. Just nothing but buzzy, tinny distortion.

We both played over the same backing track. His tone was bluntly awful. I am well aware of how arrogant I sound without the sound clip to back it up I even understand what you mean about it being an obscure example, but it was the first thing that came to mind where i could make a direct comparison. I could post my recording no problem but it would prove nothing to you about his tone being bad. If its worth anything to you, he placed 2nd from bottom in that competition while I placed joint 5th of roughly 20/25 people.


And as for your second post...man grow up and quit nitpicking. I was making the point that in the world of guitar equipment theres a lot more people throwing around 'what they heard from this guy once' than there are people who've read up on things and know what they're talking about. An example is Gibson guitars. By reputation, they're nigh on perfect guitars with no flaws whatsoever in the world ever. By actuality, you can just go and look at the thread I made on the matter concerning their current quality control.
