Re: Holy Shit New Metropoulos Metro-Plex

Well Surf, I think it might just be better than the YJM. The EPA on the YJM is in my opinion shitty, takes away the gain. I need to use an attenuator on the YJM to keep my gain intact. Also the boost on the YJM is shithouse, if you want a simple solo boost with no tone coloration the YJM boost is ju...

Re: Boost Mod?

Some great recommendations on this thread but for me the AFD100 just destroys this amp when it comes to high gain hard rock. Some great tones I have discovered on the YJM but the boost to me just cannot achieve a high gain rhythm sound that I like. As I have posted previously with the help of Alpegg...

Re: Yngwie Malmsteen Inducted into the Swedish Music HOF

Its funny how many people criticise him. There is nobody like him, he's skill is outstanding and I wouldn't call myself a big fan.
He chooses to play the style he does because of his classical influences and he plays like a demon yet people still rip him apart?

I hope there is something coming soon that can replace (match) the vintage modern.

Re: Chris slade returns to ACDC

Funny cos back when Chris was in the band Malcolm couldn't play one night for whatever reason so he watched the band as an audience member and realised as good of a drummer Chris is he's not suited for the band and they got rid of him. Weird now that Malcolm's gone Chris is back, but I suppose Phil'...

Re: Boost Mod?

I've cycled through quite a few amps and I know for sure I'm guilty of writing an amp off before discovering its true potential or even discovering the amp for what it is instead of what I think it should be. When I first plugged into my AFD100 I was so disappointed, took me a while but it's funny h...

Re: Boost Mod?

Man I've been playing this thing all day, its like Ive purchased a new amp. I was always put off by the boost on this thing but I have definitely found a use for it and I must say I have never played an amp that has this fierce slicing gain that is quite unique. Soloing and shredding is so much fun ...

Re: Boost Mod?

Hey Al, I just tried your settings, Holy Shit!!! I couldn't stop playing. I must say it was really fun playing shred type stuff, doing really fast runs is a breeze, doesnt stop sustaining...sounds crazy on neck pickup!!! I backed off the gain a bit, boost volume was max. Volume 1 was max, Volume 2 w...

Re: Boost Mod?

I have tried pedals in front of the amp with great results, Its pretty easy to get a tasty high gain lead tone, I have never tried it with a tube screamer though. Point is, the on board boost sux to me, was just thinking wouldn't it be great if i could change it or tweak it! I don't gig these days a...

Re: Boost Mod?

Hey Alpeggio, thanks for your reply and great clip, that is definitely a great tone but I was thinking higher gain, that explosive lead tone on walking by myself has a lot more gain. The Loner is more semi overdriven compared to his more modern sound on still got the blues. For me it seems the gain ...

Boost Mod?

I wonder how difficult it would be to tweak the boost tone on the YJM. I know it might sound crazy to mod this amp but it's such a shame the boost gain is so piercing!!! I think the boost is obviously tailored to Yngwie and suits his style but I find it unusable. Its probably the best amp I've ever ...
