Thanks, my clips get a bit long but I always end up making up a whole song on the spot. If I had any singing skills it wouldn't seem to drone on and on.

Cool tone! The opening riff reminded me of Back for the Attack era.

I'm liking the KH3 so far. Mr.Scary is usually my main recording module but the KH3 is a little more thoaty. I'm pretty happy with the M13. I own a PODXT Live but since you can't use it with the 4 cable method I went with the M13. I could never get the XT to sound good with my head. I had a pedal board with a dedicated pedal for each effect but it was just to sloppy and I didn't want to start buying rack effects to clean it up. The M13 will never be as good as my Centaur Klon OD but I can get close. Since I use the M13 through the series loop on the Randall I can also use it as a noise suppressor like a decimator. You can't even tell the head is on if you put your ear to the cab. Anyhow, I'm pretty happy with the tone I got here. Just used an SM57 dead center at speaker and into a bluetube mic pre then straight into digital performer and nothing else. The bass is actually my guitar with the octave effect on the m13. I was to lazy to go dig out my bass while I was in the moment of recording.

I liked it. I heard the Lynch influence also. Which I love so it's good with me. The KH3 I had sounded really good and I probably should have kept it.

 

[LRStrat]

Nice!

Really digging the sound...may have to get me one now!

Make sure you have a tube screamer. I can't use any of my modules anymore without one to tighten them up. I wanted to not have to do that but I'm forced to for extra tightness and gain boost. I do like the KH3 alot though. It really records nice because of its extra throaty midrange. I was using Mr. Scary all the time but I may go KH3. I actually got it because I watch a Shadows Fall live video that Randall posted on the facebook page and saw he was playing an RM100 and could see the blue LED from the module. I figured it was a KH and not a 1086 because I owned a 1086 and was unimpressed. I took the chance on the KH and am pretty happy. It could have been none of them and just a custom made one from Randall but I am happy anyway. I didn't want to buy more modules but Randall semms to be never going to but out new ones. Its been about 2 years since they floated 5 need modules were coming and still not a thing.

I boost my modules too when I am looking for that much gain. Actually, I have been boosting my amps since the late 80's.

I might pick up another KH3 at some point. I liked the one that I had but with a JF Brahma, JF Mr Scary, Gigmods Ultra XL, and a SL+, I just felt like I was (still am) covering too much of the same ground. It is some pretty sweet sounding ground though!
