They already used the EC-256 for the Bullet episode so they probably didn't want to do the EC-401 right after (or there's non in stock when filming). Same for amps, the Trivium guys are huge 5150/6505 enthusiast and there's the 40W Iconic combo that would have paired well while easily staying in budget.
@@andyhtfc632 Yeah but they probably don't plan ahead for these + these are fundamentally gear ads. Else the entire early 2000s can be summed to "get whatever does the best 5150 + 4x12 Mesa V30 + OD808 + ISP Decimator + EMG 81 sound in your price bracket". They probably went with the EC-256 in the Bullet rig because Padge plays an ESP, and ESP cleaned out most of the 200-300 series model in other shapes like a decade ago.
1:16 actually in between the Crusade and Shogun eras Corey and Matt were Dean artists. Corey had a signature Dean v and Matt had a signature ML. Matt’s ml had a rising sun graphic to represent his Japanese heritage
Thanks for making a video on onw of my favorite bands of all time, Trivium. I hooked up ever since with them after hearing their Shogun masterpiece album a few years ago!
Excellent work as always. If I may offer a suggestion I personally would like to see: If a piece of gear doesn't work out, switch it for a piece of gear that does work. Like the Kaffir Lime didn't tighten it up enough, so get a different overdrive that works better. This is "Sound like", not "Stick with our first guess". If you don't sound like the artist in question, then you're failing.
Yes, the video I've been waiting for. Amazing to finally see it. Would love to see a version of this video as By Busting The Bank with 7 string as well as I would love to see the following bands, Linkin Park, Rise Against, Luke Combs, Sepultura, and Bruno Mars's band. Keep up the great work.
Great content love hearing this instead of all the blues and pentatonic scale stuff, we need more of this please! Going to order that Drop pedal for sure!
Pro: it really works well and over all feels and sounds good to play! Con: The sound gets a bit muddy/dark and I can feel a little (just a tiny little!!) latency… so it changes the feel a little bit. But it just works great and is an awesome solution on to get various tunings on a budget.
It works great. Latency does get more profound the lower you push it, and digital artifacts can pop up as you go lower as well, but it offers a ton of versatility in a live setting, and in the live mix, it won't be very obvious. Several pros across multiple genres use it.
I think at least Matt has now pretty much stopped the whole stacking overdrives thing and is now pretty passionate about using a clean boost instead. But I think hes using some weird old very temperamental pedal that would have blown this budget alone probably 🤣
The current set of RRX24 looks pretty good. I wasn't a huge fan of the subtle "its totally not copying Alexi's ESP" thing since the plastic grey/pink inlay version looks godawful compared to the Alexi ESP/Edwards, but the new Battleship Grey and Army Drab green looks pretty sweet, the Wildchild bumblebee color combination is a classic look, and the "definitely not the Alexi Hexed" purple one looks pretty good largely because of the white inlays.
Should have bought an LTD or Edwards man. Buyer beware with epiphone. Absolute trash, I got an Mkh origins brand new in bone white couldn't believe how bad it was. Sold it after a week and bought an Edwards E-MA-135c, Which is just an ESP E-2 for Japanese market only. 1350 brand new vs 1900 for the mkh after tax. Edwards has real ebony smooth as glass, no mother of toilet seat inlays, MASSIVE stainless frets, a bone nut and all Japanese gotoh hardware, locking tuners and seymour duncan blackouts. Made in Japan with love instead of Made in China with disdain.
@ Honestly, I got it for free with another Gibson LP and an Orange amp. It's a 2015 model and I haven't had any issues with it. That being said, I would like to get an Edwards or ESP at some point.
@@zaturnneo OH you've got the older MKH sig. And yeah for free.99 can't complain. I'd go with edwards over ESP unless you're buying in Japan. If you've ever been to a guitar shop in Japan it is very very clear they keep the best examples for themselves. If you're going to buy an Edwards you'll need buy used unless you are going to Japan.
@ That's good info to know! Yeah, a girl was I dating had got the gear as part of a divorce and was just sitting on it. She said take it all and I didn't hesitate.
The UA pedals or any digital unit with nice amp sounds, and a powered cab is a great idea, really great for sounds-like purposes. That Soldano sounded pretty poor though.
Love me some Trivium! Sleep Token - despite being one of my favorite bands ever - didn't really shine in this context. Sleep Token's guitar and bass spend a lot of time staying out of the way of the drums, vocals, and piano/synths that give that band its unique vibe. Conversely, Trivium is pretty well suited to a Sounds Like; the guitars do most of the heavy lifting. Trivium is a solid Protein & Veggies platter of metal tones.
Third, I was literally thinking about how dope a Trivium sounds like would be in the shower a couple hours ago... Also: the lack of Ascendancy riffs hurt my soul a little.
Tbf the stuff i got into from them was played on reasonably priced kit... i played with the same guitar and amp as him working part time in a supermarket 😂...
When did they use Marshall? Matt basically always talks about how they used Peavey 5150, so I don't see why not try to fit the 6505 mh into budget? that paired with the PPC112 totals $900. Get a cheaper guitar not worrying as much about the pickups (and getting an actual les paul scale length guitar for Matt's rig) and youll get a rig that is more similar to the actual gear they use.
Not gonna lie, slightly disappointed by the song choices! Nothing from Ember to Inferno all the way to Shogun! 😱 also, whilst slightly unconventional, would it not have been more versatile to invest in a hardtail 7 string and then you could play their entire catalogue, even playing the drop tuned songs and ignoring the low B when not needed? 🤔
Next one should be "Sound like As I Lay Dying" and it's just a silent video with no one in it
bro...
Too soon
Amazing 😂
It would be just vocals.
@@vorpalbladesand an undercover detective just to the side somewhere.
These “without busting” videos are especially relevant in November
Is it no tug November or something?
don't forget about the "destroy the guitar December" later on
PLEASE do a "Sound Like Knocked Loose"!
Evh, orange cab, way huge swollen pickle, a pitch fork, and a 7 string ice man or 7 string tuned to A standard
Not picking a Les Paul for Matt’s rig is criminal

@@dumpsterplayer5133 wait......... are people not still using these set ups now? :P
Should bring back the rising sun guitar

Matt’s Dean was very cool looking! 🤘🏼
The trivium sound is the 5150
These segments are so great! Especially for those of us on a budget. I'd love to see a Sound like Papa Roach or Atreyu.

So refreshing, keep digging and experimenting. Two completly different approaches, love you guys content!

Let's go, still would've been fun to see an episode on Ghost as it is Halloween but I still love Trivium regardless so you guys nailed it
I would love to see a “Sound like Jinjer”
“Back in the Ascendancy days” … yeesh, now I feel old. 😂
They used all digital in those days... this video is how to buy extra stuff to sound like.
Is it 20 years yet?
@@alexanderellis5940Will be next year
You guys take this series to the next level
keep it up. we need more content by these guys.
Oh yeah.!
You're nailing it with Strife.
Perfekt interaction.
And I really need to listen to more Trivium again.
I really wanted y’all to cover Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr.
Nice one! Always excited to see what's up next, I'm really glad the series is back :)
Ante definitely had it. Nice to hear these bands (also thinking bfmv) on this channel!
Sad we didn't see the 7's but the drop was a great shout! Love these videos
The one we’ve all been waiting for
Before watching, hell yeah !! Exciting video!!
Love these guys. Great videos!!!
the In The Court Of The Dragon riff on that jackson sounded really really good, nice!
These two need to do more of these!
Love a Sound Like. Even though I have never ever heard of the bands #oldman
The Digitech Drop is helping these low tuned bands something fierce. Now I want to see a sounds like Breaking Benjamin thanks to that pedal
Finally, thank you Andertons ❤
Impressed by the UAFX pedal. I'd love to see you do Mastodon (preferably guitar and bass, rather than just Bill and Brent), Machine Head or Gojira.
Well done gentlemen. Fun video.
"You know how long I been waiting for this? Whoo i'm bout to make a [rig] for myself right here"
Finally a video thats not all that constant blues and jazz nonsense.
1:36 Haha I have recently got the exact same RR ❤
It indeed is a beast !
Not playing pull harder is criminal! Great job though guys!
Do a "Sound like Neal Schon" from 1980s Journey
0:49 That grandpa at the background, probably a punkrock guitarist.
I’m sure y’all will never do this but I’d love a “Sounds Like Converge”.
That outro sounded sick af! \m/
I have one of the older Matt Damon signatures in Crimson Red Burst. No binding.
Great guitar.
I love you guys! I love you trivium 🖤
he's not going to sell many ice creams going at that speed, loved the vid boys.
thanks guys.
Lamb of God? Great work on this one.
Love these when they come up, but I'm dying for an Andertons review of the new Jack White gear!
never clicked so fast in my life!
YES
He pulled out the Mini Soldano and I cheered because Iove that little amp head.
Nice one!!!!! Muse?
Awesome
Can someone share some pros and cons on the Drop pedal? It seems like it's working well here.

that UAD ANTI is soooo gooooooodddd
Is there a trivium audiotree performance? Havent seen it
Without busting the bank are way better than by busting the bank
I think at least Matt has now pretty much stopped the whole stacking overdrives thing and is now pretty passionate about using a clean boost instead. But I think hes using some weird old very temperamental pedal that would have blown this budget alone probably 🤣
Can you do a “Sound like the average home player commenting on your videos”…
OH BABY YES
MORE but sometimes by busting the bank or in between like 2000-2300
Matt does more leads than he is getting credit for... Same thing for the BFMV video lol. Great vids
Nice guys
I would have went with a Demon 7. The active mount pickups look so much smoother.
Trivium, Sound like, andertons = like!

It’d be great to see nano cortex used for this segment
You guys should do sounds like Asking Alexandria next that would be awesome
Sound Like Breaking Benjamin | Without Busting the Bank! next please 🙏
How to sound like trivium without busting the bank in reality... use what you have, practice like hell 😅
I love my Epiphone MKH. Other than feeling like holding a tree limb, it just feels right.

And that Anti rig sounded entirely too good.
Or Bogren Digital Ampknob Trivium....don't @ me guys.
Or just a multi effekt like the Line6 pod GO to cover the sounds from Marshall and 5150 for all these albums.
Please do a sounds like Every Time I Die
Why don't you guys ever use the Line 6 Catalyst? It'll do the trick.
Third, I was literally thinking about how dope a Trivium sounds like would be in the shower a couple hours ago...
Also: the lack of Ascendancy riffs hurt my soul a little.
Man I love how you thought that in the shower hahaha sick!🤘🏻
@@jug1415 Honestly, it's pretty normal for me to think stuff like that in the shower. 😛
My favorite riffs are still from the ascendancy albums. Not the best songs but the best riffs!
Ascendency was the best album
That Schecter was a signature?
What happened to "No one else's sig for someone else's rig"?
Periphery next?
Sound Like Placebo please 🙏
Great stuff! Honestly I think you could've just omitted the phase completely, got the noise gate, and just played other riffs.
Tbf the stuff i got into from them was played on reasonably priced kit... i played with the same guitar and amp as him working part time in a supermarket 😂...
Sound like Lamb of god when?👀
Please do a doom flavoured Sounds Like, maybe get Oz involved.
When did they use Marshall?
Matt basically always talks about how they used Peavey 5150, so I don't see why not try to fit the 6505 mh into budget? that paired with the PPC112 totals $900. Get a cheaper guitar not worrying as much about the pickups (and getting an actual les paul scale length guitar for Matt's rig) and youll get a rig that is more similar to the actual gear they use.
Sounds like the fall of try,from first to last could be good 😁😁
Sounds Like Breaking Benjamin next?
Sound like John Petrucci without busting the bank 😀
Sound like Smashing Pumpkins
I want to see sound like Dream Theater
Ghost next?
sound like khruangbin please!!
Schecter Matt Damon sig when?
Cory and Matt used Dean back in the day.
You need to be very clear here, shogun and before, the band was amazing. Now? Wouldnt go see them if i was paid.
Needs a sound like Alice In Chains
Love these episodes but man Ben can’t shut up hahaha
Picking a 6 string for Trivium is a big mistake!
There's a lot of songs that aren't playable without a 7 string.
No songs from Ascendancy? Wtf lads? 🙁
Not gonna lie, slightly disappointed by the song choices! Nothing from Ember to Inferno all the way to Shogun! 😱 also, whilst slightly unconventional, would it not have been more versatile to invest in a hardtail 7 string and then you could play their entire catalogue, even playing the drop tuned songs and ignoring the low B when not needed? 🤔
Noooo....digital John didn't go digital?
That's weird for me 😂.
