I was shocked to find out he used a Metal Zone. Sounds great

[@Naruuuu__]

Hey! Just wanted to say your videos have helped me learn a lot about guitar! I just got my first guitar yesterday! I just wanted to say thank you for creating the awesome vids!

[@PMTVUK]

Thanks for watching!

[@guitarz]

killer tone man I love his tone

[@strangersinbedband9986]

Me tiny wee garidge

[@billystephens7627]

He uses three amps usually for his bigger sounds, an audio kitchen amp as well as those two style amps. The big sound is a mix of Marshall and fender, metal zone goes to the Marshall so then he keeps some articulation under all the gain. Also needs looootssss more bottom end

[@putoamoreviews6108]

You fucking nailed it

[@jacvic0790]

That metal zone was not set to the biffy tone, it was way too treble-ey

[@SonicSoundofDoom]

I agree, this was way harsher sounding.
