Hello guys , i have collected almost everything i needed to start testing MAB's tone . I've got the JCM 800 , t-rex replica , Mab's guitar and MAB overdrive pedal as well . however i am finding trouble understanding if michael uses the ts9 along with the MAB overdrive or something else ( because i heard he that he uses it as booster...

I really need your help guys ! Any other suggestion would be appreciated as well . thank you so much ! He is currently using the TS-9 on his live pedal board. Use one or the other (not both). however, if you do want to use the MAB overdrive, I would recommend putting the TS-9 after it with it in bypass. Why you might ask??? Well the TS-9 is not true bypass but is "Buffered" The MAB overdrive IS True Bypass. If that is the last pedal before you go to the amp... the longer the cable(s) are from that pedal to the amp will increase high end frequency loss through capacitance created by the cables. Adding a buffered pedal at the end of the chain, breaks up the capacitance and greatly reduces the loss. All that said, the true difference in the tone you hear is in Michael's fingers. |

Boost the mids on the amp a lot. Cut the treble a fair bit and use moderate bass. Prescence should also be cut a lot you should get the attack and definition from the mids. Put gain at around 60-70% and use the tubescreamer to boost the amp.
Also use his signature neck pickup and not the EMG's.

Thank you for your kind reply BKW and Blue ! and sorry for the late reply . I still have some stupid minor questions if i may ask. For example , i am still confused whether i should use the MAB overdrive alone or with the ts-9 , or just one of them ? does he do that live when he uses the mab overdrive and why is he using the ts9 instead of the mab overdrive ? thank you |
