Guitarist Ted Aguilar of San Francisco's thrash-metal heroes, Death Angel, plays "Lord of Hate" through the C+ mode of Channel 3 on the Mark V. The Mark IIC+ is one of the most renowned amps for defining the sound of Metal tone, furthered secured in history as used by James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett on many Metallica albums. Combined with the 5-band Graphic EQ set to the "Classic V" setting, Metal sounds in the C+ Mode are tight, immediate, accurate and heavily saturated but with amazing clarity and detail.
Played by Ted Aguilar through the bridge pickup of an ESP Eclipse into a Mark V Head and Rectifier Standard 4x12 Cabinet. Mic'd with a Shure SM57 and a Sennheiser 421.
