Doom metal guitarist here. On a budget, I personally love the sound of a knock-off strat style guitar ($80 max - preferably one with a brand name you've never heard of) into a classic fuzz pedal, then straight into a Orange micro amp. It has that ear piercing shrill and paper-thin, dry sound that we've all come to expect from our favorite doom metal bands.
For Doom Metal you can't go wrong with solid state with enough wattage for power. I'd say Orange CR 120 unboosted or a power amp with an Acapulco Gold pedal or a Bogner Uberschall as a preamp. Guitar you want a shorter scale with thicker gauge strings tuned down to make the sound more chunky or either LTD Eclipse or Epiphone Les Paul.
@@reidgowan2670 That's true, however my comment had to do with their RUclips channel content tending to be mainstream guitarist-oriented. For instance, have you seen Lee's reaction to synth pedals?
Although you went for the Bassbreaker, the Katana is by far the best metal amp you can get on a budget. I mean, in my opinion it's the best amp you can get for any style on a budget.
Nice to hear that! my Katana 100 is currently on a truck heading my way Edit: The Katana arrived and it shakes my house I also tried running it to a stereo delay to both the Katana and my old amp with a tiny amount of delay and it sounds MASSIVE
@@chrishough8606 I like the katana as well, even for acoustic stuff. The dsl is alot of amp if you have a little more to spend though. The 20 watter uses el34 tubes, I think, and sounds killer either way.
Would it be possible to do a video on guitar tones to sound pleasing vs guitar sounds to sit in a mix? Recently I've figured out that my metal tone (lots of thick low end) sounds great on its own, but awful in a setting with bass and drums. Upon turning the bass way down, and adding much more high end, the tone fits well. What I don't like is the guitar tone by itself, and many agree with me. Maybe a video on this topic would be helpful for lots of people?
You pretty much just summed up the difference there already. The human ear likes balance across the spectrum. Isolated, most guitar tones sound thin because they're designed to fit with bass and drums rounding out the low end. That means lots of mid and high-mid information, with a touch of treble for bite and sizzle, but not much low end. To combat this sound while practicing, guitarists turn up the bass and cut highs to balance the tone and reduce ear fatigue. Sounds great when you're noodling around on your own, but gets totally lost between bass and drums. In a mix, dial up those mid and treble controls, and add some presence, to allow it to sit well. Drop the lows out some, but not drastically, so it blends with the bass and drums properly.
Sean Ridner check out that pedal show. They talk about this all the time. Mids and high mids get you through the mix. Leave the bass to the bass player!
The evh 5150 combo is probably the best alternative. I'd rather go with invective mh but it isn't a combo and would require a cab. The only good cab to fit the budget with that is a harley benton one and they don't have them there
I run a katana head and I play in a hardcore band. A guy I knew blew a tube in his 5150 during a show and I just let him grab my amp. He actually liked the katana better. Don't shit on something because it's cheaper
How about an "Ultimate Black Metal Rig", partly because it would be interesting to hear Bea's approach to black metal? Keep up the good work, guys, I really love the series. Cheers from Germany
I'll tell you right now what the best rig is. Guitar: Ibanez RGA42FM Amp: Boss Katana 50 or 100 depending on how much money is spent on pedals Pedals: Dunlop wah (ideally dimebag or Hammett signature), ibanez tube screamer (or similar overdrive pedal), maybe an eq from whoever
Matt could not have been more spot on. The way the rigs you guys pick gel is what keeps me coming back. Getting a rig for one guitar player is tough but getting something for two that sit perfectly in the mix and compliment each other, that's a real challenge. I'd say you guys did a great job here and that dirty aspect of Rubea's rig meshed very nicely.
I would've gotten something like that Jackson or the Ibanez they showed earlier, a Peavey 6505MH/EVH 5150 LBX, a Harley Benton 212 with V30s (obviously you can't get that at Andertons but it's just great value), and then like a Maxon OD808 or something.
I agree cos this sounded nothing like Ultimate Metal Rig, hell it sounded nothing like Misha Mansoor either! a more accurate rig would've been for the lead the Jackson JS32 with floyd rose, Blackstar Silverline 100, Dunlop Multi Wah, Ibanez TS9 and a Fender Mirror Image Delay and for rhythm the ESP LTD EC-1000 and a Marshall DSL40C
Matt's rig sounded amazing! especially at the lower gain settings. totally blown away by that pedal. the chapman guitar sounded great with it too. nice job gents.
I was about to comment you guys should just use a Chapman one time if it feels right and then Bea picked one up. Great choice and killer sounding rig, these videos are always informative and eye-opening keep it up!
Nice! These vids are always a great watch. One thing though, the push/pull in the Jackson is actually a tone pot bypass. When it’s pulled out, the tone pot is part of the circuit, when pushed in it’s bypassed.
Im a positive person, and don't like leaving anything negative. Got to say though - if the Nobels pedal was ruining your rig, is it really a long way from one side of the shop to the other to change it - to save your whole rig and the video?
You might learn more if they also show some suboptimal choices and explain why ;). And besides of that, everyone has a different definition of a good metal sound and everyone has a different taste. As long as they don't sell you a clean "jazz rig" for metal, everything is ok :).
David York haha not really man, Matt chose that as a 3rd option and it was the only other Preamp designed for metal we could grab at the time. That and I only plug it because I’m proud of it haha.
Nice to see the new Juggernaut is good. The previous model was not..... But, seriously.... Periphery without... two sig guitars (you have 3 to choose from), an amp to djent, and kick ass riffs
I'm gonna be honest... I LOVE ultimate metal rig, they're a great band! But this sounds nothing like ultimate metal rig, hell it sounds nothing like Misha Mansoor either! Could you make up by doing Periphery without busting? or Jared James Nichols, maybe St Vincent
I have that exact LTD EC1000 gold burst! Scored it at a pawn shop, I’ve never seen another one like it. Love that thing. Those are some great axes for the $$$.
Shoegaze is a theme they've not tackled yet and they have to do them bands and i wanna see that, Ultimate Noise Rock Rig is my favorite band of all time :D
PLEASE DO 60s PSYCHEDELIC ROCK!!! THERE ISNT ANY VIDEOS ON IT!!! but it’s such a cool genre! it has it’s one delay sound, tons of room for personality, so many interpretations and cool ideas! y’all could go crazy with it but not too crazy
My Marshall DSL 40 used to bottom out when I added any gain from my TS9 to it. I changed the tubes and turned down the mids on the amp to just above noon and it fixed the issue. It was really frustrating for the few months though. Sound like Dethklok/Brendon Small.
I would absolutely love to find out what Rabea would have come up with if he had chosen the Katana. That would have left so much budget for guitar and pedals!
@@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd Any era would be good. I know Teppei's rig has remained virtually unchanged for the better part of their career. I'm just going to post it on every single Sound Like video from now on until they do it. Haha
Traintraxx his tone however has changed greatly and not in a bad way at all. That’s one thing I know most of us thrice fans tend to agree on is whatever sound they go for tends to be awesome. I personally love Vheissu the most. I’ll request them on every video as well. I usually do to that to reaction videos. Thrice don’t get the recognition and respect they deserve.
For Mark Morton's rig: probably a les paul or something double humbuckers cos the Jackson Dominion is too expensive A blackstar or something american to get his Mesa Boogie tone MXR overdrive and an MXR Phase 90 for Willie Adler's rig: ESP with Seymor Duncan Humbuckers Blackstar or something else american too for the Mesa Boogie sound MXR Stereo Chorus
Vinyl Scratch when did they start using phaser and chorus? Also Willie uses a Mesa grid slammer to boost his amp and I think Mark just uses a tube screamer. Plus they both need the Mesa 5 band eq (they use the EQs pretty differently on the mark IVs). The guitars you just need les Paul copies like you said.
Bea I love you for the Amp (Fender for metal rig, yay!) and pedal combo (Nobel and Earthquaker love) you made here. I dont mind even geting Chapman guitar
I am SO GLAD that Rabea chose the 30R as I was thinking of purchasing it to be able to play blues and metal. Seeing that it failed, what would be a great valve combo to play anything from Mayer to Meshuggah?
What happened to the "No Sig for Someone Else's Rig" rule?! Misha never played in Ultimate Metal Rig. On a more Pahsitive note... that second made up riff sounds very similar to Devastation by Beartooth
That´s easy. Just grab one of the new 20w marshall 800 heads, boost it with a tube screamer or Boss SD-1 and you´re pretty much there. Megadeth is all Marshall. Any humbucker equipped guitar will do.
I'd love the math rock one (but it wouldn't be really surprising, probably a tele trough a clean fender amp), as for your other recs, they already made a sound like Arcane Roots, it is a pretty solid episode and Andrew was featured in it, check it out if you haven't ;)
I think for these rig videos it would be great if you talked through the criteria you were basing your choices on: ie Why you might locking tuners... what neck profiles male a metal guitar... what pickups to look out for etc. Would make it more widely applicable to people putting together something similar. Cheers guys.
I actually bought that same metallic gold burst ltd from someone on OfferUp and I've received so many compliments on it. It sounds fantastic, feels great and I only paid $400 USD.
Loving that Kraken Pre-amp pedal , you've whacked that out the park Rabea , very nice design on the front and I like the colour , it backs up its looks with the sound....I like it alot...
I'm with you on the whole "Katana thing." The Artist is a bit pricey, but *I* gig with it AND practice with it, so it's platinum effin' hits. Also, no lies about the Chapman guitars. So good. I'm also a fan of Schecter guitars for "bang for the buck." I've been playing them for years, and they are great. That Jackson is the bomb. I love that you guys do this stuff. You are both freakin' awesome!
Vincent Beauzee it’s pretty similar. He just used more tube amps in strapping young lad. But something’s tells me they won’t ever do Devin because of how specific his tone is. They did Lee Malia and just half ass’d it.

Rabea picks a fender amp to get metal tones... moments later “I’m a little underwhelmed with the quality of metal tones” 🤦♀️
But he did it for us, dude! ;) That said, he should have brought a Katana in to show how it would / should have sounded.
Hahaha
Dammed if you do, Dammed if you don't. Tough gig for Bea.

I really dig the Fender GT100. The wifi stuff is a bit much but easy enough to ignore.
No Metalzone? Even just to sit on the amp?
My thoughts exactly!...
Got my Metalzone into the preamp (fx loop return) of my Orange Micro Dark and it absolutely rips.
Kamikaze Digital do you have the original or the mark 2 metal zone ?
@@KamikazeDigital Orange Micro Dark is actually a great budget option for metal, I tried it with a Friedman BE-OD through it with amazing results.

@@JohnPaulHare CS Guitars made a video about that very topic a while back, and indeed his solution was exactly what you just wrote!
You should do a series where you compete to get the cheapest rig while still sounding convincingly like the target band/genre.
Great idea
So.... not the ultimate metal rig for Rabea. For these rigs I think it’s fair to go back to the store and try again... and get the katana.
Katana is always solution!

Boss HM-2 straight to the mixing board,done.
Esp ltd , and schecter make nice metal guitars and basses , sandberg basses have a terrific quality/price with a great liutery feeling .
Jackson ke2 made in u.s.a is the metal guitar , the cheap guitars maybe or maybe not
that would rule! Ultimate Black Metal Rig is my favorite band of all time!
Guitar plugged into a tin can wired to a car battery into a mixing board
I'll tell you right now what the best rig is.
Guitar: Ibanez RGA42FM
Amp: Boss Katana 50 or 100 depending on how much money is spent on pedals
Pedals: Dunlop wah (ideally dimebag or Hammett signature), ibanez tube screamer (or similar overdrive pedal), maybe an eq from whoever
@Steve Steve Steve Steve no, just for metal
that would've been much more accurate! i'd go with an EMG loaded guitar, Marshall Dual Super Lead 40, an Ibanez TS9, A dunlop Wah and a delay
I'd love to see this revisited specifically for 7 strings!

Everyone disliked that
Not gonna lie, kinda disappointed both went for superstrats.
R Nesmith that was a mistake, it’s such a great guitar!
that LTD and the Katana would have been better even without pedals.
@Tehstroyer i'm disappointed that Rabea sounded nothing like Misha Mansoor
You guys should do sound like "the sword" their tones are pretty killer, and lots of great riffs to choose from

Do sound like megadeth please!!!
That´s easy. Just grab one of the new 20w marshall 800 heads, boost it with a tube screamer or Boss SD-1 and you´re pretty much there. Megadeth is all Marshall. Any humbucker equipped guitar will do.
Just don´t dial the mids back too much, lol
crate blue voodoo
Loving these videos. Could we get an ultimate alternative/math rock rig. Bands like Black Peaks & Arcane Roots etc.
they did sound like arcane roots
I'd love the math rock one (but it wouldn't be really surprising, probably a tele trough a clean fender amp), as for your other recs, they already made a sound like Arcane Roots, it is a pretty solid episode and Andrew was featured in it, check it out if you haven't ;)
PRS SE SVN, PRS MT 15.
There, done.
what about the cabinet?
@@KeeperOfPoops Exactly! they should get the PRS MT Cabinet too
I think for these rig videos it would be great if you talked through the criteria you were basing your choices on: ie Why you might locking tuners... what neck profiles male a metal guitar... what pickups to look out for etc. Would make it more widely applicable to people putting together something similar. Cheers guys.
Ultimate Doom rig!!! 🤘🤘
OH YES! Ultimate Doom Rig is my favorite band of all time!
I actually bought that same metallic gold burst ltd from someone on OfferUp and I've received so many compliments on it. It sounds fantastic, feels great and I only paid $400 USD.
the cynic in me see's this as a platform to sell stuff that isn't selling well...hence the lack of the obvious like a katana.
By saying that the Fender was underwhelming? ;)
wow Matt actually won this one. The Chapman and the Kraken Pre Amp sounded sick
but it sounded nothing like Ultimate Metal Rig
their rhythm guitarist was notorious for using an ESP with EMG's into a marshall JCM800
PRS MT15 great high gain amp for under £500, is a head thou so would need a cab.
You can have good cabs for cheap,wouldn't be too much of a problem
Loving that Kraken Pre-amp pedal , you've whacked that out the park Rabea , very nice design on the front and I like the colour , it backs up its looks with the sound....I like it alot...
Ultimate Prog Rig. Thats your forte too!
They're defo going to use the Katana if they do this one
I'm with you on the whole "Katana thing."
The Artist is a bit pricey, but *I* gig with it AND practice with it, so it's platinum effin' hits.
Also, no lies about the Chapman guitars. So good.
I'm also a fan of Schecter guitars for "bang for the buck."
I've been playing them for years, and they are great.
That Jackson is the bomb.
I love that you guys do this stuff. You are both freakin' awesome!
Do a Doom Metal Rig, BY busting the bank.
boileroom tattoo is great, sits on top of an amazing venue. love that place
Unltimate r&b, neo soul, funk, rig
6:56 What song is this, or did they just make that up?
they made them all up, still if you could name that song, what would you name it?
@@KeeperOfPoops Idk, but I wish I could have it tabbed out.
Sound like Devin Townsend without busting (not Strapping Young Lad)
Vincent Beauzee it’s pretty similar. He just used more tube amps in strapping young lad. But something’s tells me they won’t ever do Devin because of how specific his tone is. They did Lee Malia and just half ass’d it.
Love the jamming!
Ultimate STONER rig maybe ???
I'd go Fuzz Wah,Carcosa Fuzz, Epiphone LP Custom with some upgrades and any combo you'd like.
Rabea, that lick at 11:35 was dope af!!
Please, The Mars Volta or Deerhunter :(
The 2 rigs sound great together.
