My name is Carlo and I'm a musician who wants to share his music to the world! I make guitar, metal music and music content in general. Give it a chance you might find something interesting, stranger!
I copied your set up but it doesn't sound like that. What are the exact IRs? The Marshall 1960A G12Ms? (I don't have any Marshall 1960 G12M25 in all my redwirez library). And I get an almost clean sound, it has very subtle gain .
Those are the exact IRs. However look for them for the SM57 position. I think you need to load the J800 preset on the amplex and then dial all the settings. Don't forget the Overdrive. Hope I could've helped you.
Frank coming from a punk/HC background and Ray coming from a metal background, I think it gives them this style thats unique to the band while also being very accessible and enjoyable on the ears, while also leaving space for and complimenting Gerards theatrical vocal style
Yeah, they created a really unique and cool sound. But I think the most impressive and cool thing is what you say about how well everything blends with Gerard vocals. Thanks for watching!
It seems that what matters about this model is where the fretboard was made. Chinese is not very good, I have that one. Anyways the freatbord feels like an Ibanez, it is very fast and very light guitar, I use 0.9s, a change of tuners may be usefull
In Epiphone's website says the fingerboard is Okoume but idk if it was actually made in china. I actually like it. And yes the neck is pretty comfy. The only issue with mine were the frets, some were unleveled and the fret ends were sharp. Did you have any problems like that? And yes, I actually swapped the tuners for some Hipshot locking tuners. I'll do a full review later. But all in all, it's a great guitar for modding, great bones. Thanks for watching!
I agree, I mean they are super famous, but I do think that their guitar work and skills are kinda ignored. However, idk if it's a bad thing, people are really paying attention to what it's important, their music as a whole.
It's funny because that song is somewhat like "I'm Not Ok". They don't have a solid riff IMO (but they have a strong melody tho), but I really like those songs. In fact I love 3 cheers in its entirety. I think I'll be listening to it until I die.
honestly i wana do the same as you buy the jackson but, switch only the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan SH6B BLK do u think its a good ideea? im mostly looking for more of a black or death metal tone so yea.
Hey! The pickups should be actives to bypass the issue with the hardware paint not letting the guitar make proper ground (active pickups have their own ground cable and don't use the ground cable on the guitar). I was considering the Seymour Duncan Blackouts they are active and around the same price of the EMGs. I think any active pickup will serve you well for death/black metal because they are high output. In fact, I would love to try the blackouts on another guitar. Thanks for watching!
these are honestly excellent guitars, I've played for almost a decade and have owned some expensive guitars, these at least for me, are always a positive experience and I would even go as far to say that these guitars hold up well with almost any guitar. I have heard a lot of people bash them, but the guitar world is filled with pompous know-it-alls who love huffing their own farts more than actually enjoying guitar.
I have one of these. No hum - use a noise gate etc. It did need work though - sharpe fret ends - and needed fret levelling, so a few hours with a stewmac fret kisser, z files and micro mesh pad is required. These are expensive of course. Conclusion:Cheap and not very cheerful at first - but with work. Riffarama.
Mine had a lot of hum due to the paint on the hardware but was set up perfectly out of the box. That was my only issue, sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching!
IMO they don't sound emo as a band. I think it's just their band image. Emo were more like From First to Last, Underoath, Asking Alexandria, etc. Thanks for watching!
I started listening to them because of peer influence, when emo was a thing. Now, as a musician, I appreciate and can highly praise their guitar work everytime. Frank and Rey are geniuses on making countermelody guitar lines.
I listened to them before the emo thing became so big. But I always loved them, and still. Even tho I listen to death metal and super heavy music🤣. And yes, their guitar work is just top notch! Thanks for watching!
@@CarloFenrir hopefully we get a full album. Paper Kingdom would be sick. Gotta be a story behind Foundations of decay besides the obvious. What a great song tho.
This is why I laugh when ppl back in the day used to write MCR off, I’m like dude this just tells me you’ve never actually taken the time to listen to their material. I would also add sorrows and the drop in This is How I Disappear
Yup, their musical work is top notch! Sometimes people just like to hate on some bands. I mean music is subjective, if you don't like it, move on. We have like thousands of music genres. Why bother. Thanks for watching!
Ok. So be sure to open an audio track and then on the inserts or effects put the amplex first. Then be sure to load the preset on the amplex. Then put the IR loader on the chain and load the IRs. Hope I was able to help you.
When you download the amplex, it comes with some amp presets. Then you open the plugin and there's a little square on the middle if I remember correctly. There you load the preset I said on the video. I think that if there's no preset, the plugin won't work.
thank you for the venom was the first mcr song i started practicing and most likely my no. 1 favorite mcr song so im glad you ranked that as your no. 1 too lmao, legendary video
The moment I read the title I was 100% sure thank you for the venom is going to be #1. First time I listened to the song I said to myself "this is the most metal riff I think they're ever composed" and well I was right haha
I am interested in buying this Jackson js32t because I have always wanted to have an RR model, but I have also been looking at Harley Benton models such as the sc-550 or the Amarok. I don't know if the Jackson is worth it, I don't know if it sounds good, if it plays well, is it comfortable? does it come with problems? thank you.
Watch my last video about it, I explain everything more in depth. However, it is a great guitar, plays amazing, stays in tune, etc. The only downside is that the paint on the hardware doesn't let the guitar make proper ground and it gets noisy. There's some options: use a noise gate (I made a video about a cheap one), trying to sand the paint on certain spots (I didn't have luck with that) or change the pickups for some actives (that's what I did) and it worked great, now is my favourite guitar so far. You can find some EMGs used for cheap.
Once in a while to clean and condition it. The material on this fingerboard is Amaranth, look for an oil that you can use on that type of wood. As far as I know, amaranth is an unfinished wood fingerboard so you can use the dunlop lemon scented oil for unfinished woods. However, double check before applying it. A tip I discovered a while ago is that the oil that guitar brands use is mineral oil and they just put lemon scent on it, so you can save a couple of bucks buying just mineral oil. Despite this, double check the info. I know my way around giving my guitars a set up and stuff, but still. Thanks for watching!
Are you using the amp plugin with the Impulse Response? If you are using just the amp, it will sound like crap. If you are using the amp and IRs try putting the amp first on the chain, and then the IRS loader with the IR. Hope I can help.
Pretty much stock. I just mess with the volume faders. I use both sides left and right (where there's an image of a cabinet and you load the IR) but you can use just 1 and pan it. But for this one I used both. Just be sure you are loading the Impulse Response files. The IR is a wav file. If you have any trouble, I made a video about using amp plugins. In that video I go in depth on every step.
Watch my "before you buy it..." video before buying it haha. It's a great guitar but there's a problem with the paint on the hardware and it makes a lot of noise when using distortion. However you can fix that with a noise gate, I made a video about a cheap one or change the pickups for some actives (what I did). You can get a set of EMG 81/85 ( the ones I used) for cheap used. Plus, you don't have to modify the guitar. It will be a 100 extra but the guitar is amazing in every other aspect.
Those are great songs too! But To The End and Jetset have this spooky and dark vibe that really made me love more heavier music with a more dark atmosphere. Thanks for watching!
Haha I wouldn't say they're trash I like black parade and some songs in Danger Days. However, by the time Black Parade was out, I was already in love with metal music in general. So Black Parade and Danger Days were too light for me at the time and I didn't give them any attention at all. Thanks for watching!
I knew about this band since I was a kid but didn't ACTUALLY get into them until the 10th anniversary of The Black Parade. Since then, I've kinda realized that out of all their contemporaries, they're by far the closest to being a legitimate, traditional rock band (well, without the sex and drugs). Compared to Fall Out Boy, Panic!, All-American Rejects, and more of that scene, MCR legitimately rocked the hardest out of all of them. I'll always respect them for that.
For me they're super special because they are the reason I decided to be a musician. And I agree, I think of all those bands they stayed true to their style. Besides they introduced me to metal music! They have a lot of heavy metal influence in their songs and playing. Thanks for watching!
If the problem is the paint preventing proper grounding i would think that removing paint in a small portion of the bridge just to make the soldering should fix it. What other pieces do you wanna ground? not everything is grounded in a guitar.
The ground connection links all the metal components of your guitar, returning the electrical signal to the amplifier. This removes unwanted noise, and allows the safe dissipation of electricity. Electromagnetic interference, or EMI, surrounds us in every aspect of our lives from our mobile phones to the lights in our houses. These emitters of noise get picked up by your guitar and exaggerated by an amplifier, but with proper grounding, you can ensure that this unwanted noise is kept to a minimum." (Northwest Guitars, 2023). I'm not an expert on the topic... This means that if something is not grounded properly or partially obstruct the grounding, there's gonna be noise. That means properly grounded. I tried removing the paint from the screws on the bridge (saddles and the bridge's screws that goes to the guitar)and where strings sit but it wasn't enough because the problem is that all the hardware on the guitar is painted with that paint. And sanding all the hardware... It's a lot of work buyers shouldn't do. I think it's better to use a different paint or in my case, I switched to active pockups and it is gone. Love the guitar now... And for 420 buck it's still worth it. Sorry for the long answer but I really want to help people out there. Thanks for watching!
@@CarloFenrir yes I'm a mechanical engineer myself and have and as part of my career i have electrical knowledge at some extent. That's why i say that paint should be removed in just some parts. You don't ground little screws, nor the frets themselves, not tuners eithet so is basically the bridge and related components....of course the input jack.
@NS-dd9ou oh ok that's cool! Yeah I get what you say and like I said I removed the paint in the spots on the bridge that were essential, a luthier helped me. But still there was a lot of noise after that. Like I said I'm no expert so I asked my luthier for help (he knows all about guitar electronics) and still that's the conclusion we got. And still, I think that's something buyers shouldn't deal with, you shouldn't be trying to sand parts of the bridge to see if the noise is gone. Most of the people who buy cheap guitars are beginners, and I think that's the least you want to deal with as a beginner guitarist. However, it's a great guitar overall I just changed for active pick ups and rn is my favourite guitar!
@@CarloFenrir let's hope i'm luckier than you. I believe i was trying to deny the reasons you mentioned just because i had press the buy button a few minutes before watching you video and was like "no, this in not the problem, nor i'm gonna have this problem"...let's see!
You made me laugh so hard haha! It is really a great intro and riff! I still remember the first time I listened to it, it was life changing. Thanks for watching!
Even if you mute properly, there's resonance coming from the headstock and that part of the bridge in TOM bridges. It will make you recordings cleaner. This is for recording purposes, not to skip practicing or not learn how to mute when you are playing. Thanks for watching!
I knew already that Venom would be #1, and I was definitely more curious to see what the other picks would be. Great playing as well! Also I’ve seen in some replies that you love Bullets and Three Cheers, but I’m interested to hear what you think about The Black Parade and Danger Days if you’ve listened (and also Conventional Weapons)
