I'm a guitarist and music producer from South Africa, and on this channel I like to focus on heavy, low tuned guitars, their setup & use in music productions
Some good point here. But. One thing I want to mention as a bassist that uses a bass vi the o the way round in metal to add guitar elements to a duo type band is the Eastwood hooky bass vi, this has a string spacing in between a guitar and a bass so you can play it more like a guitar or a bass
@GaryHiebner I get you bro, and you've crafted a nice tone. I've tried similar but personally feel that it muddies with other distorted tones. Especially at gig volume. Sounds lush for a solo though
I could but I used Studio One and its Sound Variations to switch articulations. So if I export out the MIDI it won't include the keyswitching. But will see if can make a plan.
I think the better way of using a guitar that's tuned or pitch-shifted an octave lower is to have the second guitar tuned to lighter tunning, so you create an almost orchestral dynamic with two guitars playing riffs in octaves.
@@GaryHiebner yeah, I tried it on my own and it sounds super heavy when you split guitars in left and right. The problem with tunnings that go lower than A is notes become blurry. But if you have the second guitar tuned octave higher, it helps to make notes clearer. I'm surprised down-tunned metal bands don't use that trick.
Прости конечно, но ты и такие как ты ведут индустрию к забвению! Басисты уже не нужны на записи) скоро и гитаристы будут ненужны благодаря тому что индустрия развивается в этом направлении
I'm sorry you feel that way. But that is just not true. Tools like these have been around for years. And they are merely tools to assist composers and songwriters. Not too replace. There were virtual guitars and basses 20 years ago. So as you can see its not replacing anything. All the best :)
Correct. The infamous Antigua Burst Squier Jazzmaster Baritone that was originally sold for $500 and now fetchs up to $1k on the used market. So crazy!
I expect how to sound like wes to have a run down of his rig, not how to play the riffs ie Wes Borlands guitar techniques still a good video just kind of misleading title or atleast confusing.
On recording, I'm pretty sure they double track the guitars, and live they use some sort of amp sim or tone capture and an ABY to send to that to FOH in parallel with their actual amps. The Swollen Pickle is in one chain, but not the other, with the overdrive being the first dirt pedal in the chain, then going from their to the ABY, with one output going to their amps and the other output going to the swollen pickle, which then IIRC the video I saw I think they had it going to another 5150 III, I think - not the Peavey like used in this video, but the EVH/Fender ones. That said, the new live rig has them using quad cortex modelers. They still use pitchfork pedals for pitch shifts, but, the rest of the rig is emulated or done using software captures, and then they use Seymour Duncan Power Stage amps with cabs for live performances. Pretty sure it was Premier Guitar who made both videos.
Thanks for the info. Yeah this video was more on how to recreate the tone with amps sims and plugins. But yeah that is a comprehensive list on their live setup and studio setup as well.
@@GaryHiebner it also goes into more detail on their settings, admittedly, while you're more concerned with showing what to actually use. IMO ToneX is the better platform, compared to Quad Cortex, and even then I feel like NAM Player or a MOD Dwarf would be better than even that... Software wise, NAM is great, but getting it into hardware land is a bit more difficult, admittedly.
I'm surprised noone has provided it out yet, but it has a typical Swedish Death Metal Chainsaw tone going on. Less menacing and evil, but very reminiscent of it. Sounds great!
That's a swollen pickle fuzz. End and KL both had rig rundowns showing them off. I bought one to experience it, and it's the best sounding HM2 style tone I've ever had.
