The Leck posted:This sounds kind of close to this modded DS-1 I got as part of a craigslist deal. At the all-dimed settings you showed, it’s a whistling feedback machine unless the strings are totally muted, and at lower settings, it’s got that gated fuzz thing. Is his a known/common mod? I always wondered what was done to that thing. JHS does a DS-1 mod that has a few different levels of hosed-up to it and all available to be switched in/out: https://www.jhspedals.com/products/discontinued-rare/boss-ds-1-synth-drive/ Apparently they have another model out now since we got ours that has yet another switch. I honestly don't know how much more gain they can add to the frickin thing after the original version of the mod. It already self-oscillates.

While we don't own any name-brand headliner guitars, we own a lot of the foreign-built budget edition guitars, and I'll take them any day over a Gibson or Fender that cost 10 times as much (or more). I haven't played a Les Paul that appreciably beats out my Epi. My Squier II strat has a better neck then almost any American Standard I've played. Our PRS SE is ridiculously close to a "real" one. The Squier Jag Bass is a really fuckin' good rock bass. "Budget" guitars are great and I hope that people in general continue to catch on. (Not bluesdad/dentist collector-types, though. Drain them for all they have.)

Lars is very good at his job within Metallica: arrangement, networking, and business poo poo. It's only incidental that he has a drum kit. Also their early poo poo wouldn't sound half as complicated if he wasn't allergic to the downbeat.

Malaria posted:Well now I just looked up the JHS Muffuletta, and I think I need one of those too. My wife is a ridiculous nutbar fan of The Edge, so our collection is as thus: Digitech Whammy 4 Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone Dunlop Crybaby Q95 Kay Fuzztone clone in Crybaby housing Big Muzz Pi clone (germanium diodes) Pigtronix EP-2 Envelope Phaser (really similar to the Lovetone Meatball) DOD Gonkulator ring modulator BOSS DS-1 (JHS Synth Mod) Moog MF Boost Moog MF Chorus Moog MF Delay Red Witch Titan KORG SDD-3000 And then into her AC-30. I'm usually content with my Eleven Rack, but I also have an old tube Harmony that I recapped and added a polarized plug to so as to not kill myself. The pedalboard setup is ridiculously flexible in the amount of tones we can get out of it, but we barely use it for probably even half of its ability. I mean, like four or five of those pedals have expression pedal inputs and we don't use them because we only have one and it's usually in a drawer or something most of the time. Both clones were built by my wife. My PERSONAL favorites are the Big Muff clone, the EP-2, and the Titan. If I were into making a noise band (lol), the JHS DS-1 would be my favorite, hands down. That thing makes fuckin' WEIRD noise.

Native already has one of those in a Kontakt library and iirc Hans Zimmer made the original just by layering samplers and instruments in Kontakt. It's not like we need more of the drat things.

kjetting posted:Players like Zakk Wylde also combine sets and use lighter gauge strings on the three high ones (10,13,17 in his case) and thicker in the bottom range (36, 52, 60 for Wylde). This means downtuned muted chugging is available on the wound strings, but also unlocks crazy bendy lead stuff on the high strings. I’ve used heavy-lights for a while and I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that they’re too much work for the condition my tendons and ligaments are in. Going down to standard 9s from here on.

There’s a reason Gene is called The Atomic Clock. Also he and Devin are two of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met. And professionals the whole way (now that Devin has his bipolar figured out, anyway.) The biggest thing to remember about Devin’s music is that he’s a giant fuckin’ weirdo with a sense of humor that leads to things like multiple concept albums about an alien intent on destroying the universe in order to get the perfect cup of coffee. Not everything is going to land with everyone’s taste, but it’s always going to be executed flawlessly. It’s part of that Zappa-Vai lineage.

Razorblade Suitcase is the only Bush album I own and I realized long after I bought it that it's because of Albini's work on it. It sounds really good and I think it actually highlights the differences in their songwriting that made them not just Nirvana wannabes, especially up against In Utero. "Greedy Fly" is genuinely one of my favorite songs and it's mostly the texture of it.

BonHair posted:I wonder if a Meshuggah cover album would be terrible or awesome. Like them playing Master of Puppets or Killed by Death and stuff, either straight or djentrified. Contradictions Collapse, None, and Destroy Erase Improve were still pretty prog-thrashy, like ...And Justice for All with more polyrhythms. They didn't really dig into the slower tempos til Chaosphere. They're perfectly capable of straight covers, but I'm not sure I'd even want to hear versions of "normal" metal all djented up. That's not to say that there's no reason they couldn't rearrange things to be more Meshuggah-y. Metallica does that poo poo all the time with covers.

Dr. Faustus posted:I only somewhat understand what you guys are talking about (mics and phase cancellation times many tracks I think I am in the ballpark at least) but wow this really does seem to be stupid music poo poo. Any time I've heard about people laying down dozens of guitar parts manually it's usually because of depression or some temporary mental distress. Hetfield, Corgan, The Edge, etc. They just hole up in the studio and obsessively play the same part. Sometimes it's "tone chasing" but I assume that is also some kind of disturbance.

former glory posted:Don't know how you do it, Pokey. The video got me in the mood to stand in front of my cranked AC10 in my room and play 2 or 3 songs and even with plugs in I felt a little nauseous. How you managed to put together actual good riffs in front of that wall and not just pass out is superhuman. I have an early-60s Harmony 303a, which is basically an AM radio with a growth spurt, and that loving thing is so loud I've literally never turned it up past 4, especially with an EMG-81 feeding it. My wife's AC30 has never seen higher on the master than a 3. Dude in a thrash band I knew would run his Marshal EL34 100/100 power amp at about 6 (for some unknown reason.) I just don't get the need for super ungodly loud amp settings in tyool 2019. If you're in danger of drowning out the snare at a bar gig, you're playing to loving loud. That said, just one time having an actual massive wall of Oranges and cabs and playing some stoner-rear end stoner riffs DOES seem fun. Just once.
