12-String Guitar + Distortion + Digitech Whammy 5 = HUGE SOUND (Black Sabbath inspired Riffage)

People often use the Digitech Whammy 5's octave up harmoniser to imitate a 12-string guitar, and the octave down mode to imitate bass. I was never a fan of the imitated 12-string effect, but distorted 12-strings in metal and rock are hugely underated/underrepresented for that octave effect. Lead riffage can sound massive already, but add the octave below harmony with some slides up the octave with the pedal and it just gets SOOO BIG (4 notes (sub octave, x2 root + octave) per 12-string pair!)! I do love me some oldschool heavy riffage! Enjoy!
Equipment used:
Dunlop .60mm Nylon Plectrum
Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky 9-46 (2222)
Ernie Ball 12-String Light Nickel Wound Custom Gauge 9-46 (2233)
Homemade "Satin-X" Doubleneck guitar (CGCFAD Drop C Tuning on 6-string, DGCFAD D Standard Tuning on 12-string)
Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz Model Neck and TB-4 JB Trembucker Bridge Pick-ups (x2 each)
Digitech Whammy 5
Marshall AVT50x

an octave fuzz with this would be something cool

[@JabunAudio]

Ooo! I don't have one of those yet. Closest I have is a homemade Univox style superfuzz, but it's not quite the sound. Thanks for listening :)

[@hadigameman]

Sick ass guitar

[@JabunAudio]

Thanks so much! It's very heavy XD

[@hipstercrab5886]

thank you for that video !
i actually got inspired and started looking for a 12-string to play heavy music on !

[@JabunAudio]

Horray! They are super fun (and different sounding). Apart from this one, I've not played many 12-string electrics. I think there's a pretty affordable Squier one now though. That might be worth looking into :) If you can get one with humbucker pickups that'll help for the heavy. Thanks for watching :)

[@tedfurlo2268]

I'm listening . . .

[@JabunAudio]

Thank you :)

[@TallismanRogue]

I can imagine Marilyn Manson over the last bit. You should do some sparkly swelling chords with the whammy~

[@JabunAudio]

Ooo! I can hear that. Good suggestion too :)

[@salzulli6290]

I would like to see this revisited with less of the unplugged guitar sound. I'm going for something similar and am interested in how it sounds

[@JabunAudio]

Thanks for watching. I'd like to figure out a better way to record some more direct (non-camera) audio and then get it it resynced to the video

[@salad-xf4yi]

Bro is just covering Hole in the sky 😂😂😂

[@JabunAudio]

Dangit! I knew it sounded familiar XD Good ear!
