lmao sinmix - gotta love Trailer Park Boys.
I just wanted to chime in and say the Invader Lead 7 profile is probably my favorite profile I've ever played on my KPA, and you really don't want to know how extensive my profile collection is. I put Comp -> Screamer -> EQ -> Gate in the stomp section and the 7/8 string rhythm tone is just exactly what I've always wanted. It is TEH BROOTZ
Also, I spent a good bit of time working on my 8 string last night. I had it professionally setup, but apparently that was for crap. It needed more neck relief, and I raised the action a tad too. That resolved a lot of the nastiness I got on my attack for lead playing across the whole fretboard. Some amps have a bit more sag and are more forgiving when it comes to fret buzz, but not these ENGL's - it sounds like absolute crap (hey it matches my technique!!!). So now I can get a good lead tone from the Invader, although it's still not as sweet as the Powerball or as fat as the Fireball. But that doesn't mean it's bad - it's got a strong mid-focus and good emphasis on attack - can get a very awesome, "hollow" type sound with the neck pickup that I love. It even sounds OK if I leave the Screamer on - it's shrill and thin but not crackly or gross.
Gonna post a clip soon, but it pretty much sounds 95% similar to Periphery I, which is probably my favorite rhythm tone.
