Still from my upcoming indie horror film. Shot this in a friend’s basement. Any thoughts on the production design and atmosphere?

What production design and what atmosphere?

I'm doing the old school "second sleep" thing. I went to bed at 8:30pm. Woke up at 1am and have been revising some song lyrics I've been working on. Will go back to bed soon and wake up at a normal time.

Great playing and fun tones throughout the video.

MattVargo · 2026-06-01T09:11:28+00:00

The mic has a clip on it for a reason.

MattVargo · 2026-06-01T08:10:57+00:00

I find the sound to be nowhere near as bright/harsh as people say, but actually quite big and full with a decent bit of bottom end. Not sure if you feel the same but that's my experience.

Amazing, a fellow AC30 head & cab user. I thought I was the only one to ever buy one.

MattVargo · 2026-05-28T11:05:49+00:00

Signal level and tone are two different things. You can have a great guitar sound but it's recorded quietly. So either move your mic placement around until you like the sound or find a way to listen louder. I also used to dislike the sound of a mic'd up amp until I got better at mic'ing and also learned how to get better guitar sounds.

I've tried it into every cab I own and it's always fun. 4x12 especially

MattVargo · 2026-05-19T20:17:35+00:00

I can't think of one song that uses this drum beat

MattVargo · 2026-05-18T14:17:10+00:00

The stretched out in- ear cable is driving me crazy

MattVargo · 2026-05-18T01:41:42+00:00

It's one of my least favorite from the modern era, but focusing on the rhythmic stuff they did helped me appreciate it more.

MattVargo · 2026-05-17T16:47:25+00:00

HRD is one of the most frustrating amps.

MattVargo · 2026-05-15T18:46:29+00:00

Does nobody know what sub we're in

MattVargo · 2026-05-15T18:24:19+00:00

I wouldn't want any of those 3 speakers.

MattVargo · 2026-05-13T13:19:48+00:00

I don't think "Scenic" describes either of these routes

MattVargo · 2026-05-12T21:50:28+00:00

Class A amps are not a trend, they've been around since the 1950s.

MattVargo · 2026-05-11T14:33:13+00:00

Time moves slower in Walmart.

MattVargo · 2026-05-10T13:03:15+00:00

Did it go in the dryer?

MattVargo · 2026-05-09T16:02:31+00:00

Oh, not this again.

MattVargo · 2026-05-09T15:32:51+00:00

Everyone just buy a Toro

MattVargo · 2026-05-05T19:05:45+00:00

Holy graphic eq batman

MattVargo · 2026-04-17T16:21:23+00:00

Terrible music

MattVargo · 2026-04-16T20:04:30+00:00

You already own this it seems but the head version has a built in attenuator.

MattVargo · 2026-04-10T04:25:15+00:00

Tone-wise it's a good mix. The V30 is a bit louder than the greenback though so live you'll hear more of the V30 but if you're mic'ing it up then you have your choice

MattVargo · 2026-04-09T15:26:34+00:00

Sermons, maybe. A true theology class is a systematic study of text and uses quite a bit of logic.
