    The black metal tone was as spiky and thin as a frozen twig in a Scandinavian forest, as in a perfect representation

      @alexdattel2757 6 лет назад +8

      The weird thing is that this amp is so good it actually doesn't sound super terrible although you think it should. Personally I would add some mids but keep the bass low for that tone and be happy with it in a black metal context.

    How to dial a good death metal tone?
    An American will say: get a Dual Rectifier, crank the gain, boost with a TS9 and make sure you have EMG pickups on your guitar.
    A Swede will say: clean channel, HM2, EVERYTHING ON 10, DONE.

    This was beyond entertaining. As an aging thrash metal head that played in the heyday, has the permanently- cramped neck from head banging, was a teen through hair metal, matured through doom, Death, groove, and nu metal to somehow find the now sounds, this was incredibly enjoyable while being instructive on how you achieve those sounds. Awesome job!

    i say for the glam tone to go for the Van Halen brown sound. turn the presence to 10 and the gain almost all the way up, around 6 and 8. mids are to taste but don’t scoop them. go for around 5 and 6. crank the fucking bass. turn the treble down enough to muffle the tone a little bit, but only a little. and for reverb just go into a high school gym and go for that level

    you: "first you need an overdrive pedal which we don't have", me: rolls eyes, you: "normally you would need a noise gate (which we don't have)", me: leaves snarky comment and finds a real video

    For the black metal tone, you don’t want to lose to much mids, scoop but not all the way

    Cab IR (if I'm assuming right and it's Torpedo) sounds terribly nasally but I know Generator is AMAZING.

    6:58 - it reminds me (a little bit) of Emperor.

    HA! My line six spider with a metal Zone into a Mesa cab clone and a parallel track with a pod can do all of these

    It would have helped if you did this video without an amp with 7000 features.

    You know you've aged and progressed as a guitar player by the proper usage of mids!

    Most of these you don't have the equipment for the job
    For Thrash go for a 1980's Randall and just crank it and overdrive the clean channels
    For Black grab an acoustic head crank the reverb drop the bass out, use a distortion pedal with tone and gain cranked
    For Doom you need Sunn heads, multiple fuzz pedals and delays, you just want to throw dirt into dirt into dirt

      And for glam, a Marshall jcm 800. A Kramer guitar, and a tube screamer to add a boost.
