      I think instead of a First of October 2023 album, they should go into the studio for a week or so and try to expand on the best tracks from every album. In an earlier interview with Rob, he said that he wished songs like Vallerie had more time put in because he liked it a lot, but it just wasnt finished.

    Guys pay attention to the techniques and approach Andrew has when he is not thinking too hard. Lots of chromatic three note movement and the recurring shapes. Every riff has building blocks like this. Find your building blocks and mix and match! Many riffs are just like 8 tiny riffs strung together in different orders.

      The fact that they have to move on after a few minutes really stops them from just droning on and on for 15 minutes on something that goes nowhere. I like that they are quick and not precious.

    • @lgrcallum
      @lgrcallum Год назад +5

      @@julienlewis347 I would say listening to that specific track it’s probably the tone reaper side of the hoof reaper, with the volume backed off. But I think a lot of the time he’s stacking multiple gain stages given the amount of fuzz pedals on the board.
      In case you don’t know which are drive/distortion/fuzz pedals here’s a rundown of them (not in order obviously):
      EQD Hoof Reaper: it’s a three in one pedal made up of the Tone Reaper (a 3 knob tone bender style pedal), the tentacle (a green ringer octave up, definitely gets used for the sludgier/doomier sounding songs along with the Hoof) and the Hoof (which is a big muff style pedal, a lot bassier than the tone reaper).
      JHS Muffuletta: similar to the hoof, it’s a big muff style pedal, so quite bass heavy, it fills out a mix. This pedal has a selection of styles of muff to choose from too. It’s hard to tell when he is using this versus the hoof.
      Chase Bliss Preamp MkII: its a big all in one kind of drive/fuzz/preamp/distortion pedal, can do a lot of different styles so this could be used for a lot of the fuzzier sounds, and I imagine the other fuzzes are probably being stacked before or after it as it’s the only pedal capable of decent EQ sculpting on the board, and lighter drive tones. Any time there’s a more gated sound it’s likely this though as it’s the only fuzz capable of gating on here - it is also a contender for what’s heard in Bike Pile, as I know it has a vintage germanium voice which could be what I’m hearing there.

      The lesson they should take is "I should try this". If it's one day and there was only one great riff in the end, that's better than spending all day trying to crowbar a new riff idea into a cage of other stuff that was missing the main ingredient. But it's most likely that you'll have two or more, and the more times you do it, the better you'll get. Same goes for everything: most producers with great sound design in their songs are not making up all of that on the spot and decorating the track with it. They're spending whole Sundays doing nothing but sound design and saving it for later. The only trick is "commit and move on".

    So many cool riffs akin to Black Sabbath here!! Love this so much!!
    I also did notice that the guitars sounded rather full with no bass guitar; your solution to that was really cool!
