Yeah, the guy who recorded a couple of the Extreme records said he used a 4x12 cabinet loaded with Celestion G12H 30 watt speakers.

Michael Wagener, or something.. :?:

I liked it.... 8-) The 55HZ seemed to extend some of the lows nicely end and gave the tone a throaty/growly quality with a slightly dampened high end, not too much though. Your other 12H-30 clip sounded kind of brittle and a little sterile on the high end for some reason. I still feel you need a slight bump in gain, you have the crunch and clarity yet with that telltale hair on the notes though with the RAT. ;)

What were your setting on the RAT and Amp in this clip?

Yeah, those are the Celestion brand IR's I downloaded this afternoon. I think they sound better than the RedWirez ones I was using before.

I had the RAT clone pedal basically setup just like the Nuno settings:

I agree the Celestion IR does sound much better. 8-) Maybe run the same clip with the Celestion Brand IR of the 75HZ 12H-30 then.......the 75HZ will be slightly tighter and less woody with more crunch/bite in the highs.

With the 8.5 K pickup you may need to add some gain either with cranking the volume on the RAT or a level boost from an EQ pedal into the amp just to get that extra punch you're missing, not alot just basically what a higher output pickup would give you. Maybe do a totally flat EQ on your GE 10 as use that level up to up you gain slightly.

Do you have a small EQ pedal like an MXR or Boss GE-7?

I did have the volume on the RAT at 10 before, but I was trying to rule out issues with the tone.

I thought if I set the RAT pedal at the "Nuno settings" then I could rule that out.

Previously, I was also running another boost after the RAT. I am thinking about trying that again.

from what I remember it was his original setup in the early 90's was:

ADA MP-1 tube preamps
ADA power amps
Roland ME-5 or 6
old Ampeg V4 cabs

then switch cab's
Marshalls & Custom Cabinets loaded with 25 Watt Celestion Speakers

he had other Boss Pedal effects later also, he also tried Mesa Boogie for a brief time too.

On the first record (which is really the tone I would be chasing) it was a JCM-800 and a RAT pedal (and studio EQ) according to Nuno.

Bingo. On Gearslutz (now the more soy-friendly "Gearspace").
