Hi Fil and Everyone!
I’d like to share one interesting Pro Tools LE and Eleven Rack setting. Tha base is old “Solodallas BIB” Eleven Rack (patch) setting, but i’ve edited severally (because my guitar, pickup etc.).
I used some inserts:
- EQ 37 Band
- Compressor/Lomiter
and – suprise: BF 76 Peek Limiter.
Enjoy!!!

woah…..What can this mean?
about 2 months ago
It’s the guitar used by Ang in the Ballbreaker Tour (As the “second” axe, for some songs at the end of the gigs), and it was used on te Ballbreaker recording too. But the picture seems to be recent. Probably from de “Black Ice” pre-recording days at Mal’s home… in the Amplitube site they say Malcolm recorded 2 songs of the Black Ice album with Amplitube. Maybe it isn’t true, but here is the proof that he DOES use Amplitube at home for practice or wrtitting… maybe the pic is truly recent and this means he’s recording some demos for the new album??

Yes mate
about 3 months ago
Very pleasant to the ears. I could almost visualize where the solos were going next but at the same time it is not something I could reproduce myself.
Reminds me of clips where you see Angus and/or Malcom just fiddling around. It makes you want to close your eyes and hope it never ends.

This is great Fil, nice to just hear some shredding.
I do detect a slight Halen sort of thing like others have said,
Fucking love that fat juicy tone on the first clip…..so good.
2nd one is great as well, I could listen to this stuff all day.

about 3 months ago
Ah, I’ll help you out man,
I’ll let bonlives know you’re applying,and tell him you’re “OK” haha and he’ll set ya up.We’ve had to be a bit more strict lately with some people just spamming the place too much.
He’s also a busy dude, lol.
Are you using Johnny as your screen name or what?
about 3 months ago
Yeah, I used johnny as my profile name, if I need to change it just let me know
about 3 months ago
Well, bonlives said that he had a johnny and a johnnysg and he’d approved both of them. He then said, that they had the same IP address,so he deleted Johnny. (I assume it’s cause you tried to join and it didn’t work,so you did again,lol)
Anyways, he gave me this password for you:
Username: johnnysg
Password: plugmein
He also said,make SURE you change it right after you log in (for obvious reasons,lol.I know it,and anyone reading this will know it….)
Hope this helps man,if not just let me know and I’ll see what else we can do.

Fil… If I may ask u… Why do u play in such an low tuning? Which are the advantages of it?
about 3 months ago
i’ve had my main guitars tuned down half a step for a couple weeks now just to try something different, and thats all it really is… just different. i wouldn’t say there’s many advantages or disadvantages for that matter, its just a different voicing, a different way to hear things is how i look at it
about 3 months ago
I have one SG at standard tuning, one at -1 step down, and one 1/2 step down…
When I pick up each guitar, they all have ‘the tone’ to them, as enjoy going between them all. Nice amps help
about 3 months ago
absolutely agree!
about 3 months ago
I switched to 1/2 step down tuning about 5 months ago and I can never go back to standard unless I have to and personally, the difference from standard and 1/2 step is that it gives the guitar a lot more blues of a sound.
about 3 months ago
FOr variation but mostly when practising, for EASE on my tendons. I still bend and vibrate continuously as you can hear, and for minutes. If I did it with regular tension, I’d be knocked off. Must be very careful, I really am rough on my hand.
about 3 months ago
interesting point, rest is just as important as practising!
about 3 months ago
Interesting point indeed; I usually leave the guitar in whatever tuning I left for the previous song I’ve been practicing, but using lower tuning for practicing makes sense.
Fil, curious, do you have some set practice routine, or do you sort of doodle along?
Cheers!
about 3 months ago
im a full on doodler lol play when ever i can ^^
about 3 months ago
me too, but sometimes I feel like my practice could be more structured. The main things I always do are a couple of finger strength/dexterity exercises, simple scales (pentatonic!), and chord transitions. I don’t have a good exercise for bends/vibratos, other than doodling.
about 3 months ago
i feel the same, time though is such a barrier
, i get to check the site mainly during work hours n play guitar when gf is at work or watching her soaps lol
my practising consits of a list of backing tracks which i play in order usaly starts with back in black right to for thoese about to rock bit like a live performance realy
45mins to 1hr every few days is my frequency
about 3 months ago
Yeah, time is the problem; I rarely use backing tracks, actually most of the time I practice unplugged. It’s the only way I found to practice about an hour total a day (and it’s not continuous).
about 3 months ago
I love the tone with the SG and the wizard when you played back in black it sounded like you where playing at a stadium
and it sounds like angus live tone from the previous years (around ballbreaker maybe) I bought a DVD of them playing live in madrid spain its called no bull and you can easily see on stage angus is using the wizard modern classic live. is this with the G12-65s?
about 3 months ago
No that is Malcolm’s amp with Vintage 30′s.
about 3 months ago
I meant in the audio is Fil using the G12-65s

Hi Fil! Sounds great – SVDS here as well?
about 3 months ago
I see you’ve edited your original post – thanks for that Fil!
about 3 months ago
Wow, really sounds “godly”! Thats a hell of a sound!
about 3 months ago
I like those both. Not boring at all. I like the delay/reverb. In the right setting it gives a feeling of distance and fullness. To me these sound a little VanHalen’ish as well. The Wizards seem to e pretty versatile.
Glad you’re over the Flu
It’s been running through my house to. Of course we can’t all just get it and be done. It’s got to pick us off 1 by 1 so it lasts longer. 
about 3 months ago
sounds sweet fil
about 3 months ago
Nice. But it sounds more dirty than you usually do. And you added pretty much reverb too?
