🎸Sounds better when you TURN IT UP! 

🎸Be sure to watch the FULL video to see exactly how I dial in my Peavey amps to get crushing heavy metal guitar tones! The full video is called CHIMAIRA GUITAR TONE & RIFFAGE, and is linked on screen near the bottom of this video!

Resonance and Presence are like bass and treble tone controls after the pre-amp stage. So saying you're cutting low end, then saying it sounds thin, then adding resonance, is adding low end back in. Although the bass and resonance controls have a subtly different effect on the overall EQ.

Dude wtf? Your tone is amazing. I honestly believe you got lucky with that cab man

Your 6505 tone is absolutely second to none. The absolute best metal tones I've ever heard. The perfect mixture of a chunky rhythm with a searing lead tone. I've always envied that tone!

See I love that the 6505 sounds good without a boost, but with me I just love that tight bite you get from pushing It with a tube screamer

Facts, all facts. That bass knob, from my experience, seems to peak around that main area a bass will live, usually around 200-300hz, but it varies from amp to amp. You cut more of that bass it gives the bass room to exist in that 200-300hz and you bring up the resonance to bring in those 80-100hz frequencies that make the guitar sound meaty without taking up where the bass is suppose to be. (Kick drums too, cut 250-ish and boost 100hz.) While that is fine, there are two sides to that coin. If you have no 200-300hz in your guitar, then your bass is going to stick out like a sore thumb. You ideally want the guitar and bass to blend a little to get a huge sound. That bass is there to make your guitars sound huge. What I find is just having enough bass in my guitars that it dips a little into where the bass is and the bass then also cranks some 2k-4k and some mild distortion to also reach up to the guitars domain and they both blend together nicely. This is also more so talk from recording/mixing stuff and also all subjective, but it's an interesting challenge to tackle.

This is me at 2 am with my spider V whippin up tones

I saw chimaria open for shadows fall in Clifton Park. And let me tell you Robs tone is massive live when he played in the indoors venue when he palm mutes you can feel the presence and almost a force or pressure rob is why I purchased a 6505+ chimaria stole the show they play so tight and rob really can hit those pinched harmonics if chimaria ever tours again or does any shows with rob please don't miss it they put so much energy into their performance !

This is one of the best sounding 6505 demos I've heard.

what's I love about the resonance and presence because it adds for the low end and the high end overloading the signal

It's easy to cut the lows when you got Jim "Low End" Lamarca in your band.

Sounds killer 🤘🏻

Peavey 6505 and a Mesa 4x12 are the golden combo

Oldie but a goodie! That tone is awesome! The reason I got my 6505+. Love that amp!

This is pretty much my approach to my amp. It's a modeling amp with like 100 different effects that can all be tweaked. I turn the knobs until it sounds better. Thankfully you can save settings.

This is kind of like what I learned about adding mids to my bass sound when playing with a full band. So early on when I would watch our practice videos I noticed I couldn't hear a lot of my mid-frequency basslines and mainly because I didn't have any meds I always like a nice thick sound with the meds rolled back. I saw a video of a bassist talking about that very thing and he said even if you like the sound of your bass with no mids while practicing by yourself have at it but in a full band mix add some mids or else you are going to get lost in the mix, i was like "🤯" because that's exactly what was happening to me.

Saw you guys in 05 before Danzig. You, of all the bands, got me into metal. You guys played comatose before the album release! Love it dude, rad as aaaaaall get out.

Being someone who plays guitar and mixes live bands ,a lot of guitarist don’t understand this. I generally have to dump a bunch of lows and highs to get the guitarist to sit well in the mix.

I have always thought the same thing about presence. Sounds better when you turn it up lol 😂 glad I’m not the only one

I was litterally taking photos of your knob settings at a show in 2010. Rob Arnold tone was the cream of the crop.

It’s all your style of play. Your control makes it all sound great lol

Resonance is your low end response. At least it is on the EVH 5150III. It adds punch to the low end

Resonance is your low end frequencies getting fine tuned, and the presence is tour high end frequencies getting fine tuned on your amp.

Sounds delightfully tight mate nice one

I thought it was all the gain to get that sound in the lower notes. That classic distorted “Dow duhduhduh Dow” I thought was all gain. Crank up the resonance and presence. “In your face” is the perfect description!

When you play big venues..........that doesn't matter Its clubs and bars that the frequencies collide

nice

Esp🔥

"Nice and clean" plays with face melting distortion. Also resonance is the low end in the power amp stage of the amp.

I almost never put bass to my guitar tone if I do it's never past 3

I sold my immaculate JSX bcuz it didn’t have that mesa thump still regret it to this day 🤦‍♂️

Dang Rob thicc tone you got there crazy mfka

Or when you can’t find a bass player and you are alone with your drummer, just turn up the bass and resonance and fill in the low end while playing rhythm.

It blows my mind my shitty Crate 120 FX can recreate this.

Maybe we get the gang back into spider studios...just saying

🤘🏻💀

Low End LaMarca baby 🤗

Resonance is for the frequencies below the Bass (or "low end"). So you're actually boosting the low end.. which makes this video not make much sense. *For Slayer tones, you just need an EMG KK set, an MXR 10 band EQ (as an OD/Mid boost), and a "British" style amp with the mids boosted even more. (It also helps to use a Kahler bridge, and just play random notes really fast.)

what pick do you use?

Meh. I wanna dabble in the abyssal realm too. Lol

No earplugs?👀

Resonance is literally low end.

I think you're talking about Megadeth - lol Slayer sounds like they have a good amount or low end, but they also use more mids than other thrash metal bands.

Tell Metallica that! (Right, Jason?)

But what about those bands where bass is doing something different than guitars?

Resonance is like a bass knob after your gain stages, so you kinda did the opposite of what you were just saying haha

Should have settled for the way it was when you started because all you added was low end.

NO s**t! 😅

Comment to make it to 69 … nice 😎🤘🏽
