So I tried something a bit different now.

The Chain goes - Green JRC - GSP2101 FX Loop - Cab 11R - EQ11R

How does it sound to you guys???


11R & GSP2101

It actually sounds really good.
If I was to get ultra-critical, I would say it is a bit digital and compressed. However, with some of the intricate right hand work you are using, that is almost needed to keep it clean and managed.
But a good industrial prog-metal sound, for sure. Maybe if some of the chords in the background of songs were a little more loose and chunky, it would be a great mix. I would just be afraid that too many tracks with this sound may lose a bit of the raw metal nature.
But with a chain that is fairly new around here, I would say that you are certainly on the right track.

Try it with just the GSP cabs for a comparison. It's almost getting that "cabinet into another cabinet" cavernous sound a bit. I like the idea though. Something's not "opened up" for using the 11R cabs, they usually breathe quite a bit. Let it breathe if you're rolling off the highs. A second EQ to put back in some frequecies around 5k & 10k maybe, let it have a little noise up there. Maybe it's the mic choice. Put it on axis and try it if it's off. Once you get dual tracks, it can be night and day but sometimes you want to try that off axis position because it seems solid. You really have more to play with if you use on axis.
