Hell Awaits - sound check video

[DannyM]

Here is a sound check we had last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_95pAZKg4-c

Tone sounded better live than what the camera could catch and the conversion process to wmv and then to youtube also jacked with the quality a bit.

I broke the low E string on my ESP Hanneman on the second song (war ensemble) and had to use my back up SL2H Green Ghost Flames that I just got 3 days ago for the rest of the set.

Cool, as somebody closely involved with the LA tribute scene, I really like to see accuracy in the instruments. What's your other guitarist got, a Bronze BCR Wartribe? He sounds like Kerry, and I see Marshall stacks.
5 guys though - your singer needs to learn bass heh heh.

I currently use:
ENGL Powerball
ENGL Vintage Pro 4x12
TC Electronics G-Major
ESP Jeff Hanneman
Green Ghost Flame SL2H

I'm going to be getting a(nother) 2203X and Marshall backline.
I should have kept the one I had:

dude, you recorded that video using your powerball?! whoa....i coulda sword it was a jcm800 marshall, it has that marshall midrange going on as far as i can tell from the video. the powerball i played once didn't sound anything like that, actually it sounded like CRAP

Yes. It was my ENGL Powerball rig in that video.
I can get it sound as good, and better than, a 2203X for Slayer tones.

Alot of people say that the Powerball cant cut thru or gets lost in a mix or isnt loud enough. I laugh out loud everytime I read that. It can cut thru....its all on how you dial it in. That night, on that stage, I used focus mode mids at 11 o'clock.
