Mick stated he controlled which signal path would play based off the velocity of the MIDI input. It seems like you are playing all the same together at the same time which I'm not sure is correct.
I tried this about a year after that GDC talk Mick gave where he broke this all down. I really appreciate how he didn't get too specific at all about what he used to make the sound. It gives all of us mortals room to play around and make our own versions that have a sense of identity whilst still being very DOOM. Thanks for sharing man!
This is a fun video; I sort of feel like Mick Gordon's style is hard to totally nail down. There seems to be a subset of weirdos making "Argent" metal but I don't think I've heard anyone totally get it.
You're right, in order to nail this sound down you'd have to get pretty much get all of the outboard equipment he used, which would be expensive af lol And some Argent metal is sick, the concept is cool - wild that Mick created an entire new subgenre of metal either way without trying too
Forget for one moment the fact of the weirdos, that "weirdos" for first time we got more creative trying something new and that's the thing about musicians, inspire other ones to make anything is the greatest proof about mick gordon being an iconic artist
I still have the full FX setup in my notes somewhere and you're missing two components: Every "path" ends in a sidechained compressor, before being mixed together and fed into another comp. IIRC the sidechain signal came from the first path. A lot of noise came from ground hum and other interferences, which would creep in between notes. You don't get that with VSTs. And then it's all about turning knobs to create a "nice" and evolving sound. Doesn't matter if you use physical hardware, MIDI remote or automation, but you can't leave the sound too static. Yours sounds like a bee, trapped in an overdrive pedal or one of these horrible practice amps. I'm not impressed.

Was that the GDC talk? I don't remember him mentioning velocity to select the signal path.
But yes, a LOT of details are missing here.

good point. he gave us just enough to at least get close, and to use the array to create multiple different things. glad you dig it!

thanks for giving at least giving it a shot
do you have a preset download?
nah, this really works with any equivalent vst though
That's sick
thanks ya
