Great job Josh! Sounds killer, and I'm loving these vids! I'd love to take you through my guitar tone memories of the S/T recording and mixing sessions one day over a pint or two!🍻
That tone is badass! Song is amazing, the album is perfection and Rob Arnold is an absolute riff monster!! He’s on my Mount Rushmore of metal guitar legends! 🤘
Mind blowing and inspiring! Would love to hear your opinion on recreating Fear Factory's Demanufacture with only those amp sims. I tried s bunch but can't seem to get it right.
Love Chimaira, awesome tone! Tbh, I clicked this fully believing it's on Rob's channel, was listening in the background and only realized it wasn't when you started talking 😂
bro this is awesome! I just asked Rob Arnold the other day if he ever played the JM-2 to compare it to his M-1000 as I just bought the JM-2 a few days ago. What is that you putting under the strings near the nut? I noticed before you had it wrapped, now there is something snug underneath it? Was a huge Chimaira fan growing up and since they don't sell Rob's signature guitar, I got yours.
Hi josh, do u have a special amp? Like an equivalent to Kerry kings beast? Or Robb Flynn’s bubba head? Ps my all time favorite guitar sound is from the first Machine Head album. That would be an interesting tone chase? I actually use the Colin Richardson profile on my kemper and chase the tone when I use my 6505+ . There’s just something magical about that snarl. Great vid man…
Obviously the focus of these videos is the guitar tone, but I'm curious about the drum track - have you got stems from somewhere or have you programmed them? If the latter, that could be a fun video some time, how you go about programming drums.
Hey Josh, out of curiosity why do you like to dial back the tone on 808's to 11ish as opposed to staying at 12? Is it to darken the tone a bit before hitting amps? Thanks!
Just so there's less 'scratchy' noise to the tone. The tone control on the OD808 is definitely not the same as rolling the volume knob off on your guitar. We recorded COAA with the tone control all the way off. It's a thick tone but still tight and clear
