Man Ashok is one of the sickest, most underrated guitar players out right now. His work with Root from Czech Republic was killer. So glad to see him in Cradle.
It's too bad he messes up so often playing live with CoF in favor of posing and messing around. I'm sure he's a good player and nice guy, but he makes disruptive mistakes with the most simple parts. - I don't understand, cause clearly he's experienced.
I'm not a fan of this band, but this was a great interview. They seem like really nice guys and it was nice to hear their gear journey. Thanks for sharing.
I Could Rant for an Hour About How Much I Really Enjoy Cradle of Filth !! I Enjoy How The Musicians Make Their Difficult Pieces Seem So Simple! When Cradle Play Live, There's Something Good and Magical Happening, and It Makes Me Happy to See #THIStm Interview!
Gosh dang it I love Richard Shaw so much 😩, watching him perform was amazing. He's so talented and has amazing showmanship. Plus he seems to all around be a great guy. Can't wait for Cradle to come back to the states after this tour
Love the guitar tone on Cryptoriana. A masterpiece of an album overall. Same league as dusk, cruelty and midian. Never thought cof would have that level of soloing happening.
Give a fair listen to their last couple of albums. They got dramatically better after the lineup changed. I was never a fan either, but their last efforts were really good.
I wanna thank Paul Allender for leaving Cradle. Now we have two kickass guitar players who have renewed Cradle's energy and sound. Thanks Paul, don't come back!
Paul was just as important to cradle as Dani, I like some of the new stuff these guys wrote but it's still extremely derivative of Paul's work and they haven't really done anything different or unique not that Dani would let them lol
Paul's riffs worked for one album: Midian. After that it was repetitive AF. Granted, he had some solid riffing on the later albums but in terms of composition, he became super repetitive.
i always said my brother from i learn listen these bands -that band iam afraid of - that was after i like a kid saw Born In a Burial Gown - so i feel you : ) sorry for my english wish you get what i mean : ) cheers !m!
I remember starting to listen to Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir and i felt so "evil" . As shagrath says "Darkness has its attractions which everyone can feel, only hypocrites deny.
Brilliant twin guitar work by the CoF guys! album is awesome, but when see the 2 here, you immediately understand why. strong skillset! thanks for sharing this! excellent idea and cool interview.
What this goes to show is that if you can get a similar tone that's "close enough" regardless of amp or preamp or plugin, then it's all a matter of one's playing style and "finger tone". What equipment is used is secondary to that.
The right tone is what works for the track. Usually a bedroom guitar player tries to emulate a full mix sound with only a guitar and a bunch of pedals and then putting that sound in a band context your guitar part gets lost. You want to be heard and having more mids is the way to go. Everything else is tweaked to taste
I love the Mooer sounds and options just haven't bought one yet because I've read so many people having issues with their stuff breaking down and not being reliable, however, these guys are touring with them so that says quite a lot.
I bought a mooer looper and it died after a few weeks use. For me I wont bother with cheap pedals again. I’m sticking with BOSS gear. Both value for money and reliable. You could probably get the same sound as in this vid using a GT-1
I use the 002 Gold (the Marshall JCM900 simulation) with the Cab Simulator on. With a Tube Screamer in front of it, it sounds great direct. Although these 50/50's sound really tight without a Tube Screamer or overdrive pushing the front end.
I just bought one of these, except that due to a lawsuit, Mooer had to change the name of this Micro Preamp to "Brown Sound 3" from "50 50 3". Still a great pedal, but wouldn't it have been great to have one of the original ones?
I remember (hazily) seeing CoF at The Spread Eagle in Ipswich back in '95-'96, can that be right? If it is, those guys have aged much, much better than I have! Dani was so charismatic on stage, and I *think* I chatted to him a bit after the show and remember him being a really nice bloke..... but I was very, very drunk.
I have the fifty fifty and the fried mien and both are kickass, the shared eq knobs are hard to use if you really want to be able to use this as a 2 channel pedal. I just wish they would change that design to 2 level potentiometers instead.
I was under the impression that the channels on the pedal recall the last settings before the channel was switched, so if you set the gain on the clean to 5 then channel switch and change the gain to 8, when you switch back to clean the gain will be set to 5 until the knob is moved again. Not 100%, but i heard it in another review somewhere
That is correct and working as intended, but if you mess with the settings you kinda have to figure out what the other channels settings were before to tweak it. it would have been awsome to see them use push pull potentiometers.
Bought one of these and a Mooer micro preamp about two months ago. Both of them still stiing in their boxes unused because I have no idea how to run it through my amp head and 4x12 cab and there's absolutely no information anywhere on youtube or the internet that even mentions how to do it.
Try to plug them straight into the FX loop return of your head and make sure to turn off the built-in cab simulation. That's probably the best way using them in your setup. Or just plug them in a PA / audio interface (with the cab sim ON of course) and use them without an amp. //cheers, Kris
Yeah, you would think someone somewhere would mention how those two pedals can be amplified, wouldn't you? I have both and cannot find any information on how to run them through a head and cab.
Thomann Music it is VERY impressive; I have the Fractal AxeFxiii and I will say that for small gigs I use my 5050 and Radar pedals exactly as you've described😎👍😎👍😎
I understand tone in the hands but how many ways can you play like a D chord or F chord right? Of course the lead will not sound right but you should sound the same when hitting chords.
it is about phrasing, vibrato, pick attack...subtleties what gets lost in the mix of some bedroom guitarist playing straight powerchords on line 6 bollocks uber metal distortion.
