Best middle/high gain (modded) lead tone?

[blacksun]

Hi!

Of course this is a matter of personal preference but what are your favourite module (stock or modded) for rock/metal lead that really cuts in the mix?

What about salvation territory? I'm in Europe and are about to send a couple of modules to Anthony and I really want to add a great lead mod to my collection

Of all my modules, I'd say my stock Brown cuts through for leads best. It's very mids-heavy, even with the mids knob dialed back. I was comparing it to my Scary last night and the Brown punched through and sounded more aggressive for solos. If you hit it with a boost pedal, it's the perfect module for leads, if cutting through the mix is your goal.

For me, nothing beats the Salvado Deluxe. Again, for me.

Without pedals... anything with a boost, and especially a dark switch With a boost pedal, whatever your tonal flavor is... Camerock, Salvado DLX, Angel E, Dread Plate...

Angel also could be a good choice

 

[Nightdare]

Nothing cut better than my Ultra Lead

Unfortunately it's character did absolutely not mesh with my other modules so had it modded to an angel
(Which currently has the best cutting mids compared to a stock -old value- SL+ and Masholdano)

Thanks for all replies, very helpful input indeed.

Anyone got any experience with lead work using the salvation benzin or custom 3?

 

[Jacksauce]

Masholdano with boost on and dark switch is sweet singing

Mine is my Jaded Faith modded Brahma...
f....n amazing Marshall.

I use my XTC or Shiver (Facelift) for leads, smooth and blistering!
They definitly cut through the mix great. The XTC can be a tiny bit thin sometimes, the Shiver is just perfect.

Where in Europe are you?

I'm in Sweden, I've got 8 eggie modules at Anthony waiting for modding. Last couple of weeks I have been terrorizing Mr Salva with a lot of questions etc. I'm sure he is pretty exhausted with all the back and forths by now, so I thought I'd give him some relief and ask some questions over here ;-)

I use my Grail for leads. With the mids turned up around noon, it cuts through and has tons of sustain.

Brahma & Judge for stockers. 59RR (JMP) with Haze on. Also SLOD100 with boost off, Focus & Fluid on.
