Sound Surfing How can i get a great thin lizzy/ deep purple sound on a line 6 spider 3 75 watt amp?
I want to get a classic metal sound like motorhead but mostly like thin lizzy and its played through a ltd viper 50. I mostly use my rocky red crunch setting but i want to experiment more. And please don't suggest the premade 'boys are back' setting because i already know of that one. Thanks.
BQ: How to get a surf rock setting?
I fell your pain, bro.
Save yourself a lifetime of being 2nd best.
Sell the Line6 and get a Marshall. If you are not playing out, then a Mode5 should do it. $400 retail. Combo "BluesBreaker" cab with custom 10" speaker. All tube, made in England. There is no excuse to not buy one of these amps, if you can afford a Line6 head.
I have a Line6 Spider stereo head, and I cant get anything out of it. There are probably some great sounds in there, I just cant find "it".
I went to a Marshall tube powered rig with old Vox speakers.
Problem solved. It nails the classic sound, because it is the classic sound.
Surf rock is 1. clean amp 2. best played on a Fender Stratocaster. 3. kind of heavy strings and picks if you want to sound like Dick Dale 4. Reverb 5. Jensen 10" or 12" speakers, preferably originals, not repros.
Good luck!
Nu rave felt like a distant memory by the time Klaxons' second album Surfing the Void appeared, much longer than three years after their debut Myths of the Near Future kick-started the style’s day-glo mix of rock and dance, winning the Mercury Prize along the way. Accolades like these meant expectations were high for the band’s follow-up, especially from Klaxons’ label. Surfing the Void had a famously difficult birth, with an entire album’s worth of songs scrapped for being “too uncommercial” and aborted sessions with Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford among other producers. The band’s work with Slipknot and At the Drive-In producer Ross Robinson got the green light from their label; while Klaxons don’t quite go from nu rave to nu metal on these songs, the album is so dense and urgent that they sound more like their namesakes than they did before. The single “Echoes” is downright ingratiating, from its huge choruses to its undulating basslines, but from there, the band doesn't just surf the void, they do their best to fill it with hard-edged music and ayahuasca-fueled lyrics about time travel and spiritual enlightenment. Klaxons showed a fondness for chaos on Myths of the Near Future's “Atlantis to Interzone” and “Four Horsemen of 2012,” but it’s a full-blown love affair on the title track. With its furious, simultaneous piano and guitar riffs, “Surfing the Void” recalls a trippier “Atlantis." Meanwhile, “Flashover” invents metal-prog-pop, somehow turning the phrase “myriads of silver discs” into a hook and making its abrasiveness catchy. “The Same Space” shows the band still has a flair for bittersweet melodies, and though Surfing the Void is less accessible than Klaxons' debut, things never get completely out of hand. What may be most interesting about Surfing the Void is Klaxons' newfound earnestness, which feels like a byproduct of how hard it was for them to get the album made. Where they used to be cerebral smart alecks dropping allusions to Pynchon and Burroughs, they now sing equally cryptic but heartfelt lyrics about “true horizons” and “imaginations opening.” ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Performers: James Righton - Keyboards, Vocals; Jamie Reynolds - Bass, Vocals; Simon Taylor-Davies - Guitar, Vocals; Steffan Halperin - Drums, Vocals

Where does this sound in my comp comes from?
While I'm surfing, writing, being here a sound like the one from a mess contact rings and I see no one, no sign of it. It happened on the last half hour 3 or 4 times - what is it?
To be invaded sounds great! You don't need to be so cruel with ignorants like me! I've looked mess and nope! But got me a goog laugh, thanks!
Did someone log on??
If there's no message, it's probably someone signing in and you just aren't seeing the little notification..
