So I started out chasing a certain fuller sound that I only get at higher volumes and asking if an attenuator would get me there but at what wear to the tubes. But I ended up learning about 1. the V.P.R. function on my amp(that I never bothered with because I thought i was only using two tubes)...
Great suggestions. I have a Chinese DemonFX Tube Screamer that compliments the EMG-81 in my Ironbird but it only gets me as far as Thrash tones, still trying to get into that Obituary/Cannibal territory.
Never tried either of those Boss pedals. Just want something to throw on top or in front of...
I think I do a damn good job of palm muting for my rythym parts, but still hear a bunch chaos sounds escaping.
Could it just be maybe lowering the pickups a hair? They seem really hot sometimes. But on all my guitars? Lol.
I've already backed down on the volume, but I start losing harmonics then.
I got the screamer and the EQ in front. All eras of metal. I just can't get that crazy scream. Seems to me like a slight bit of compression/sustain or something I might be missing.

This is a '23 Bich Legacy with DiMarzio D Activator pups. It was setup in C# Standard(Iommi) by Sweetwater. I had to lower the bridge p'up because it was soooo hot. Other than that, perfect setup. I'm so used to no tone knob and volume dimed on my other Ironbird...
Maybe I shoulda left it up...
OK.
Here's the reason I first contacted B.C. Rich about the guitar.
I purchased an Ironbird Extreme Series Exotic Cyan Blue.
The headstock should read like this..
But instead reads like this...
Do you think I got a one of a kind misprint? Or should I send it back?
What would you do?
