Mesa Mark IIB Coliseum - First Clip

[Agileguy]

OK, so this is more of a test of my recording gear than a demo of anything in particular, but I just wanted to put it up because I need some outside ears on it. Tell me it sounds shitty, and tell me how to fix it!

Details:

Most importantly - I didn't think any of what I was playing through before playing it. Completely off the cuff.
Gear: PRS McCarty (Whole Lotta Humbucker set) -> Way Huge Green Rhino -> Mesa -> Avatar 4x12. V30 mic'd with an SM57 and Greenback with a Sennheiser e906. Mics are panned hard left and right, respectively.
This was all the gain channel. Yes, even the intro. I rolled up the guitar volume and kicked on the Green Rhino for the gain portion.

Again, this was not meant to be representative of my playing. I'm just sharing a crappy recording I made.

For a first recording it is good enough for our ears. I made a comment on your SC , less distortion is always better when recording. Working on using much less of it myself especially with the EL 84 and 34 amps. Good that it responds to the volume knob but hard to tell how much of that gain is the OD. New stuff is good and fun to play with the crowd is cheering !!!
