Man.......sounds sweet!!
They are **** Identicle!!!

I owned them both but choose the 1086 over the 2. I love the way it can do the mid scoops!!
Anyhow.......sounds GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Hey mate!!

that is fabulous work. Thanks ever so much. I like em both, Its always a bit hard to hear all of the super nuances through a camera mic but they are a bit close in overall sound and i bet could be dialed in similiar. I prefered teh lead with the Kh3 on the vid just a tad, but I think i preffered the rythm with the 1086

 

[Mailman1971]

The rhythm is MEANER and NASTIER with the 1086........
Its just brutal!!!!

Thanks guys,

Yeah, they are pretty identical, that was my first thought as well.

Not real happy about that, if I had seen a video like this before I bought the KH3 I probably wouldn't have...but personally I do like the KH3 leads better too.

I actually want to try a KH2 now, maybe Kirk uses his KH2 as rythym and KH3 as his lead tone.

Some tube swaps will switch it up, I put the same Tung Sols in each for the video. The KH3 came with Rubys, probably gonna put those back in or maybe even try some JJ or GT ECC83S I have.

But 1086 is still my fav.

Wow...those amp settings are way out there but I remember the RM100 I had was pretty dark...do you really need all that low end and tubbiness the Density adds at 3 o'clock?

Well...I guess that answers my question....you have the treble cranked too

Honestly don't know how you guys can even comment on the tone...

I bet that sounds a lot better in the room....I can't hear crap from the cam mic apart from a lot of distorted high end plus the occasional woof.. and youtube compression certainly isn't helping I'm sure :-/

 

[riff man]

nice chops!!!

i think the KH-3 is just a c-hair smoother than the 1086...
the kh3 handled leads way better than the 1086 in that vid ...imho

jkd read my mind again(max presence near max density :shock: ), good clips though, yes the two can sound similar but they are quite different. if you think you may like the kh-3 then just go for it cause it rules :twisted:

Yeah,

My settings are to compensate for lack of volume.

I live in an apartment complex and neighbors are ALWAYS home. It's actually very annoying, I used to have moments where I could just play, but two have been out of work for a couple weeks now.

I really wish I had a better way to record, but I don't have any mics or recording software at the moment.
