The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[samzadgan]

So finished recording the new album last weekend...HEAVY AS FUCK sounding. Triamped a Red Bear, '73 SVT(with original 8x10 with 6 original 10s), and the Meathammer for bass. Guitar was doubled meathammer tones plus for the super heavy parts another track with a boosted pharaoh on the clean channel. Hit me up if you want to hear the preliminary stuff, ill link you up to the private stream when I have it.

On another note...Mike Scheidt is staying at my house tonight...what the actual fuck?

can you add me to the stream...would love to hear it.

and...WTF...Mike staying at your house ... say hi to him from me...never met him...but I love his music.

Oh yeah, I get what you mean - if I'm paying more than $1000 for a guitar it better damn well be perfect in my mind. It's much easier to forgive stuff on a cheaper guitar.

And silverburst is just about the best thing ever. Green is horribly underused in guitars - if I ever have something custom made (which I won't) it will be a dark flaked out green I'm actually tempted to pick up one of the Squier Jazzys and refinish it in green.

There's a guy here on ILF, univalve, who refinished a purple MIJ Mascis Jazzy with a super flake green sparkle. It's badass! I'll try and find a pic.

That jazzy of Uni's is drop dead gorgeous.

*edit* not to steal your thunder shannon but here's the pic:

Haha 300 Pages later i find Out that you guys are Talking about Frosch Fotze (engl. Frog cunt).

[Holy Schnikes]

^ Yeah, that post is a true blast from the past!

i just picked up a Zilla 2x12 cab...fuck this thing is so heavy...i use to have an orange 2x12, but this is bigger and heavier. I cant wait to get home and set up my new amp...and then turn the volume down!

i'll post some pics tonight...

Another Zilla? Damn, that is awesome. They make the best cabs in the UK. Better than Matamp, IMO.

Anyone seen Minsk live? I see they're doin a small tour.

I would LUV to see Minsk. They're one of my favourite heavy bands.

I'm a little bit stricken by this rather rare but fancy (you don't really get better than Knaggs) guitar on Music Radar. I'm not a huge fan of white, but I do dig the looks. It has Bare Knuckle Mules installed so I know it'll sound sweet. It's £1200. I CAN afford it, but then I'd have to borrow money to pay off my incoming Dunwich. GAHHHHH!H!!

Someone tell me it's ugly and I shouldn't buy it!

It's ugly and you shouldn't buy it!!!!

To be the voice of reason, if you have the Dunwich coming up save your money for that. You've been waiting how long for it now? It's much wiser to invest in that, then something you've been lusting after for only a short amount of time. If your really that stricken with it then borrow the money for the guitar and use your actual cash for the Dunwich. That way if you don't end up liking the guitar all that much you can resell it fairly easily to repay your debt, due to the relatively unknown name of Dunwich especially on the emerald isle it would be much harder to recoup the money in that if you got stuck in a pinch.

p.s. Honestly, its a beautiful guitar and i love the white. Plus those BKP mules are amazing low output pickups. They match gloriously with a nice OD.

This is very true. I've been pinning for a Dunwich for nigh on two years now. I'm hoping that the end of summer, despite being the end of summer will greet me with a beautiful little baby. I have a name for the amp, I have knobs pretty much decided upon, the tolex, grill cloth, speaker and dimensions. I just need to decide on switching before Nick can finalise the schematics and price.

One of the girls I work with told me yesterday that her boyfriend just finished watching EVERY single dragon ball episode over made. She said she was the happiest she has been in a long time.
What disturbs me is a) she is a looker, if I was him, I'd spend my spare time nailing her to the wall, instead of watching the anime equivalent of the soap opera "passions"
And b) he will one day be a federal police officer.
So that's fun.

Don't ever diss Dragonball or the mighty DBZ. My childhood lies somewhere within the depths of that show.

PSA:

I will be posting up my Custom BAT Burial Chamber (LSTR>OCD), Binary Elements, and probably my Ibanez Echo Shifter in the BST this week. Even if I don't end up getting the Verellen I could really use the money for other bills and the Skyhammer and Timeline cover everything I use those pedals for. So if anyone wants dibs and a doombro discount hit me up and we'll figure something out!

No way, man. I thought you were too contented with that set-up to ever consider changing.

Orange Amps just picked up some of my stuff on FB. Its like a fever!

350 bucks for a Sunn Sonaro Combo 1x15? It's 2 hour drive and I'm kinda not sure how I feel about a combo I wanted a head. Is it worth it try and seperate them? I really don't find myself compelled on this one but for the price it seems like a deal? Or am I off?

I dig combos because you can always disconnect the installed speaker and run it just like a head, but if you're strapped for time, energy, space, etc. then you can always use it as a standalone amp.

Holy shit man, Galaxicon sounds awesome!

I liked Galxicon before they were cool.

So I got my shit together I guess and here is my rig after selling off half my pedals and attaining a DS-1MIJ

That room is so Doom. Laced table clothes FTMFW!

That matamp looks pretty cool. I need a bit of schooling matamp-wise also, is the gt1 equivalent in gain to the orange od series or is it voiced clean and old school. I get confused because I hear conflicting reports from people who say either-or.
I've seen demos of old orange or heads that get gnarly dirty as well, but then I hear people say that theirs stay clean all the way. A people putting pedal dirt on and not mentioning or what the shit?
This level of ignorance comes from the lack of vintage British amps floating around my town. So I apologise. Even though Ryan told me not to.

From my experience, The GT1 is really clear and dry sounding. If you can imagine a dry clean sound, and then a high gain fuzz sound ran in parallel to the clean tone, that's my experience of a GT1. It's super saturated but still transparent and articulate. It hides nothing. The gain level is hard to describe, but it gets pretty gnarly at high volume levels as the power tube distortion is quite intense.

Hellooo, Doom Room! I was directed here after asking about an interesting amp... This one!

IMAG0159.jpg

Matamp of some kind.... with orange cover on it... apparently 1 of only 3 made. looks cool... matamps ive played sound cool.... Any one know anything about these?

Oh, theres another matamp below it, same price (£too much for me), but not orange, or apparently limited edition...

Thanks for any help you knowledgable lot can impart

The top amp is a 1224 MKI. I've played one and did not know they were rare. I was told they were Matamp's most popular modern amp. You can read up about it on their website. The MKII version is what they currently sell, but it's not that much different. They just made the switching more versatile by introducing floor control.

So I tried the Walrus Audio Iron Horse which I guess is a rat clone and it sounded perfectly sludge with none of the high end fizz of my rat. I might have just found a rat replacement.

I don't dig the company of Walrus Audio, but the Iron Horse is a pretty sweet little bastard. One of the heaviest pedals around.

the rapey therapy
could use a bit of that
im back home
i promised i was gonna call a cab
but ended up walkin
so i could catch up on some cigarettin
the songs off dopesmoker was supposed to be a joke
i fell asleep like 15 times writin that thing
all tests negative
except lyme is on the way
so its either that
or i was just severely dehydrated
which is so possible
or some weird viral thing
thanks for the love dudes
i honestly thought that was my goodbye

It's never goodbye truly. Get well soon, mate.

[Achtane]

Yeah, you got no business kicking it yet.

The music cave needs lace otherwise I can't start to doom on. It's my obsession.

I need a list of good touring bands coming through chicago, I'm always too lazy to keep up on what I could potentially be missing. Recommended me a touring band or a large list right now.

[D.o.S.]

I saw Minsk touring on Ritual Fires... in '06(?) it was probably one of the best doom/heavy shows I've ever seen. They're not the standout memory for me, but definitely go.

Also, their drummer put out an ambient record called The Cedars of Lebanon that I snagged at aforementioned show. Definitely very cool stuff. Limited edition CD-R is where it's at!
