- Killswitch Engage Guitar World lesson on the song "This Is Absolution" from the August 2009 Guitar World CD/DVD.
These guys have a great tone. The song is in the August 2009 issue.

These guys embody what "metal" guitarists should be these days. Respectable, articulate, knowledgeable, humble, and down to earth. Some rockers have an attitude. Like they are so special, or they don't use that "theory crap." Or "it's all about being heavy or dark..."
Hell with that. We have seen heavy, there is alot of it. How about melodic, emotional, memorable? These guys certainly now carry the "guitar god" torch that In Flames lit back in the day.
their tones are fucking incredible
It doesn't matter if a song is easy-sounding or hard. If it sounds good, we listen to it.
I could listen to this all day.
why don't you?
Chillswitch Engage.
This is such a fun song to play. My band mates are so sick of hearing it because I play it at least 10 times when we rehearse.
Thank you so much for doing this most bands wont its so cool to watch you guys play and its a great way to learn these are hard timings no doubt and wicked chord progressions :-)
this is what makes a good musician kids..composition, song writing, unique riffs, etc. and elephant noises and rockin the hobo look (joel)
That pre-chorus is so well-written, it gives me chills!
LOVE THE TONE!
Been playing this by ear for a couple years, got a few things wrong. Thanks for this:) such a good song, great riffage/chords as per 🖤
Hey thanks for finding it after all these years and glad it helped!!
there tones are so mesmerizing
I love their sound, their guitars are also very cool.
Still in great shape guys :p nice, going to see ya december 13th :D! keep up the good work, all your songs rule
their tone is godly
Such a nice heavy tone.
This is beautiful. Love the comradery.
god these guys are one the best bands out that do an amazing job of collaborating lead and rhythm metal guitars. keep fuckin rockin killswitch!
Dang @1:16 Joel's tone literally sounds like some sort of engine running xD
A very intersting duo. Killswitch Engage deserves more attention. I am from Germany and I love this band. I hope they will come again on tour here.
Hello, first i would like to say that im a HUGE Fan and i think u guy's are awesome
it's a huge opportunity to have guitarists like you in the metal world, it's also nice to see u share with the world your talents it's fun playing that song anyway i'll always listen to this band, play their music This Is Abolution :) Hope seeing Howard Jones comin back on tour with u toghether ur awesome and u make wicked music
tone of the gods!!!!!
the way they sound together is what makes KSE what it is . . total complement of a sound . . awesome . .!
Awesome Sound...! Its Insane
that tone is beast
adam and joel are one of the greatest guitarist pairs of all time
The synchronization these two have with melody writing complement each other all these years.

Can we take one second and appreciate the fact that Adam's humor has just the perfect timing ? Lmao
Joel is such a chill guy man Adam is funny Justin the really calm guy mike point at people a nod guy and Howard the serious kinda guy
something that rare in a guitar world video... Good tone! they have it.
I get what you mean,you can just tell that they are meant to play together.
Plus,the sound is amazing.Even distorted,its clear.
I love it.
man i dont care what anybody says, they write some of the coolest yet simplest riffs in metal soooooo much fun to play on guitar!
prechorus and bridge two are my favourites, as two guitars a properly utilised. I like it when bands actually use two guitars, rather then having the two guitars playing the same thing.
these guys have awesome tone
are u kiddin, some of the best riffs ever
goood DAMN they are tight
Yeah exactly. I've got a Chapman ML1, there was only like 500 made and i've since sanded the matt black paint off to reveal the dark wood underneath and swapped out the pickups for a camo coloured Bareknuckle Warpig and a pair of DiMarzzios, i know there's not going to another like it in the world. It's a great feeling of uniqueness.
Incredible tone. DO WANT
sounds just like the recording the tone and everything
@matthewk7777 Look into some all tube amps for some awsome METAL tones. A mesa dual rec, peavey 5150, and if you got the cash maybe a Framus cobra or Splawn amp. They use a custom Parker Fly and a Caparison Dellinger guitar with EMG 85's in the bridge position pickup. I think they boost the amps with a overdrive pedal, maybe a Maxon od or an Ibanez tube screamer. Hope this helps!
He was the producer for one of their albums
I think they look awesome... they play AMAZING best fretboard i have ever played and they weigh practically nothing... great guitars
The cut time just means that it's the same initial tempo but it's been "cut" in half, the drums really emphasize the cutness of it.
Que banda tan genial tienen riff muy espectaculares, lastima la calidad del vídeo, pero la verdad aprendí mucho...sigan así chicos..🤟
i luv adams headstock it is class
wow this tone is way better than on the album
i love bridge ,, this song,,
it honestly sounds so damn cool slow
@cjs342006 if you get the line 6 spider 4 75 watt amp, it comes with presets that match both adam and joel's tone really well
These guys are a fuckin riot!!!...love KSE
its actually his signature series Parker. check out the specs on it, it's a pretty sweet axe. I want his Caprison that he used to use though; that thing was so sweet
nice
@lovecowboy On Wikipedia it means that both are using an 5150 but also many others. I think they made special guitars because of their style and playabillity and you can also tune an amp to a better quality.
The greatests SCORCHING riffs i've ever heard
I can't believe he gets such great tone from his Parker. My Parker never sounded that hot. Mine sounds more like thin and ball-less. For heavy music I play my Les Paul!!
+PsycOtic ReacTion Maybe is the pickups (EMG).
I love Joel's tone.
some of those parts that they played sound awesome slowed down like the intro and Joel's clean thingy you know when they slowed them down
@ESPsandEmgs i think splawn nitros. they use those now and most likely an od808 and noise suppressor.
adams' guitar is so sick!
Adams tone is great here, notes that punch your ears
ya its so satisfying to watch Adam play the "verse 1" riff
It's crazy how synchronized they are
LOL @ Adam's pickslide, love the facial expression haha
@floppledong actually the guitar in this video that he is using is a custom parker
Killswitch Engage is the best band ever
for amps joel uses mesa triple recs, splawn nitros,framus cobras guitars are caparison with emg 81 and emg singles
some with 85s in the neck, and for pedals maxon overdrive, kinda like a maxon version of the ibanez tube screamer hope this helps ;)
@Fraeg yeah, for sure!
lol LOVE the face Adam makes during the pick slide at 4:10 lol
yeah, that's really interesting to see the way pro compose music.
they seem to be well in sinc with the harmonies, plus adams guitar is sick
@7Hvy7Metal7
its a Parker and the model is Fly
Adam makes it seem so effortless.
Adam D. is playing a Parker Fly and Joel is playing a Caparison Dellinger.
Adam used a roadster at one point, and ive heard that Joel used a stiletto but im not sure, and the both use maxon od808 overdrive
@hngaify Yeah he had to change do to problems on his neck back and shoulder. All due to the weight of the Caparisons on his neck, Great tone like that involves a lot of weight for sustain and well yeah it hit him, but he still makes that parker sound like the devil's cries which is effing amazing
I agree, but carbon fiber fret boards that never wear down?? it just sounds so appealing. Have you seen Deron Miller's Parker? It's pretty cool looking with the big CKY logo plastered across the front of it. If i had a spare £1500 i'd get one.
true! how did you see the nitros because they aren't visible on stage
If you are wondering about guitars they use
Adam D = Parker Fly Adam D signature model 3200$
Parker Adam D signature dragonfly 4000$
Joel Strongzel = Deliner/Tat/Angus 2000-2500$
both look and sound cool but parkers are much lighter and much nicer to play, the caparisons are like cooler les pauls
They use Caparison guitars, although Adam has a Parker Fly here, if that helps.
@KaneIsRaw13
While it was an EMG 85 in the bridge, for a period of time it was two Dual Blade pickups, wired in parallel.
Sorry, letting my unnecessary knowledge of guitar jargon get the best of me.
@PoetryEmotion94 upwards of 1.5 mm.You need it to be thick for that fast chugging they're doing,
@bromvall
It's a Fly mojo I believe?
does anyody know what kind of mesa's they use? and if they use any overdrive pedels?
@nategKsE613
Parker guitars, he got it originally because of his back problems, its a much lighter guitar than his caparison
@hngaify yeah it's his signature guitar by parker :-D
They're tone is close to perfect . Anybody know what amps, pedals etc. they use? I want that fat tone Joel has has but I can't get my hands on it, I have trouble finding it.
@xXNoxesXx I read that they use either a Framus Cobra or Dragon... but it does sound quite similar to a 5150 as you say...but considering they use caparison guitars ( which isn't a common make ) perhaps they wouldn't use an amp which is as common as the 5150....I dunno though lol! just guessing really....but i love their tone so much, especially Adam's
they need to make a raw instrumental for some of these songs.
@BreakItDown 5150I have a spider at the moment. Its only 15w though and sounds terrible. Think im going to get a pod 2.0 for my birthday in feb and have a play around with that.
@sumthinodd81
the REAL amps that they play (live/studio) are mesa boogie dual rectifiers, which sound wayyy better by the way
I want Adam's guitar!!!
@matthewk7777 line 6 amps and emg pickups!
The Parker guitar sounds so fucking good I wish I knew what gear they used and the are also really funny
@pjl1979 I think the reason for adam to use that guitar is beacause its a lightweight and he got some problems with his back.
seacrch it on wikipedia i`m pretty sure it says about guitars and amps
@KaneIsRaw13 Wow.. He looks so different.
I don't mind the shape to be honest, but i guess that's the playability and tone of it saying to me that it really is great.
i like how there tones mix together, a fat one and a high one. lol
fuckin' accurate!
@13uddha1993 plus adam uses them cuz it doesnt put a strain on his back. obviously you probably know hes had quite a few back surgerys. he used to use capparisons but theyre too heavy for him,
no they don't dude. They used H&K triamps in 2005 briefly for all of ozzfest, the dvd shoot, and another tour or two and stopped using them because they didn't like them. they re amped the dvd guitars with a soldano slo so if you buy the dvd you're hearing a VERY heavily modified soldano, if you were at the dvd show you would have heard the triamps. there current amps they use are splawn nitros with kt88 tubes. glad i could help.
Some one please tell me how the hell to get that tone or one similar.
