Great tone brother.. Loving that PRS DGT.. The best PRS guitar going now IMHO. Love the mod 800 amp you added at first.. You always have the best sounding amps with your Helix sir.. I mean it's always impeccable tone brother! You're the master at that! My fav amp would probably be a friedman or Soldano if I had to answer quickly, or maybe just a ADA MP1 and a Tube power amp of some type.. and a 2 x 12 cab.. Better yet, just a modeler of any type.. Even the cheap one's today sound great.. We are finally at the point that you don't HAVE TO HAVE AN AMP AND EFFECTS REALLY.. Besides, my old back and knees can't take it.. 😛 Great tone sir! Great playing as always.. Thanks for enriching my life brother! Be safe and be well kind sir! Tim
Man that sounds epic!!! Never watched a video by LT that I didn’t like you never cease to amaze me and I don’t even own a Fractal unit you are pure inspiration at its finest 🤟🏻
I really enjoy Angle severe built in preset. Rarely need to tweak something except gain level and maybe boosting highs for some guitars. Works great both for playing and recording
@LeonTodd NIIIIIIICE!!!!!! Great "Tone Chasing" once again. It will take a serious saw to cut through those thick tones. I could sit there for hours and play with them with my Washburn N4. "D"
love the jcm800 into v30's with a ts808 in front. the 808 tightens it up and gives it a little midrange push that sits great in the mix and feels greasy under the fingers. i wouldn't call it 'chunky", but for nwobhm stuff, it's bang on
Man, this was awesome. Thanks for all this information! I should reaaaally spend more time in the 5 Minute Tones video series. As I'm more of a plug and play kind of guitarist, I lack some fundamental information about different amp/cab combinations. I assume this series can really help me on that. Cheers! :)
90% of my use with the Fractal FM3 is with the 800 mod. I use it for pretty much everything. It has a good clean tone too which makes it great for making live patches using scene controllers.
The jcm 800 modded sounds just classic but could sound great in any metal situation... since having my pod go...I've been loving the REV red channel amp and the Friedman BE100.
@@LeonTodd crisp chugging, I've only just started messing with it...on hold now because of my new Strat, now I'm going through the fender legendary amps 😁 the rabbit hole is huge! Need a torch.🤣
Your DGT love fest has me wondering how the tones compare to the Fishman Fluence Classics. Two majorly versatile options that I am geeting close to having to try for myself.
Awesome as usual Leon! Question, a tad off topic here but you’ve been a MASSIVE help in my past tone quests so figured I’d ask. Do you know of any amp/cab switchers that would work with a MatrixGT1000FX in stereo sending out a L/R to said switcher? My rig is just AxeFx out1 stereo L/R>Matrix stereo>L & R cabs. Even the forum has me coming up blank. Appreciate any help you can provide.
Killer video as always!Hey Leon I was just wondering, I see you trying out all this great gear, but what does your live rig consist of, and would you rather play through an Axe or Tube amp in a live setting? Thanks 🙂
What's your favourite chunky rock amp?
Peavey Butcher, or a Mesa Mark III Red Stripe.
Brit silver
low gain Proco Rat into neutral set Recto Red.

Listening to ya noodle around while dialing in the presets is so satisfying. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

New Leon Todd video... I'm there!
Hope you're having a great day!
@@LeonTodd Well it's 2am but you know... the gig sleep schedule. I'll get tired at 3 haha

Nothing better hey
You make this fun, Leon! Very helpful vid. 👍
The pleasure is mine!
Can't beat the 800 for a solid rock n roll tone. Probably the best overall amp for this and on countless epic albums over the years. Thanks so much LT

Foot on the monitor - engage!
Your guidance on all things fractal is indispensable! I love the mesa mk4 but have been liking the engl models lately
I need to fire those up!

I appreciate that mate - that's what these vids are intended for!
You can't go wrong with a JCM 800!!! I like the vibe on the Ragdoll riffs with the JCM. 🤘🏻
The CC boost is fractal crack and i LOVE it
Whoever reckons that PRS pickups are lifeless and sterile should have a listen to this tone. Inspirational as ever Leon, just wicked
They're phenomenal!
My frav so far and goto is the Cameron CCV Usually the 2A.
I recently tried out a CCV and actually the 2A, and holy cow! It shines live. So punchy.
Big CCV2A fan as well!

Love the way it cleans up with the volume control@

Do you want the matrix to feed 2 different pairs of cabs?
@@LeonTodd the Matrix in stereo it feeds a cab on my left B channel and a right cab A channel

FM3 with an expression pedal, DI to the PA. So easy!
Is there a way to get the symphonic sound on the FM9?
Hey Leon, does your IR'S work with other modelers like tonex ect.
Yes
WOW !!!!
Using the two symphonic options at the same time? And you comment on this?
Basically you need 6 delay taps to replicate it, hence the 2 MTD
@@LeonTodd wow, hope they do some type of workaround for us FM9 users 🤞🏼
When too much is not enough - use the symphonic setting!😂
Lol. Is this your 5 favorite rock tones in fractal OR are all people agree, as well?😅 Mine are not part of these 5 ones though. 😂. Just joking Leon.
