Guitarists Jeremy DePoyster and Chris Rubey of fast-rising US metalcorers Devil Wears Prada took five minutes off from the rock juggernaut that was the 2011 Warped Tour to film this exclusive rig tour for TG.
I honestly think the 6505 is the best in terms of high gain, out of them all. It's really present, cuts well but still sounds huge, and is the least stiff feeling out of all of those amps. 6505 green channel is the way to go!
@Inverted314 Schecter's neck size is by body shape/model not by series, so all the solo 6 necks feel the same even if it's a blackjack atx or a classic or hell raiser. Same with the C1's and ect. But Most of the necks are really similar. I've owned alot of schecters haha
@pandamanparty Actually I have to agree on the neck thing. The neck on my Schecter always seemed huge to me, probably why I got rid of it. I'm left handed though so Schecter is about the only company that makes lefty guitars so it's kind of a catch 22. I think some of the newer ones like the Blackjack might be a little thinner though?
@Inverted314 What's this about the necks? They don't seem that big to me, the neck on my solo 6 custom is only a little thicker than the one on my tele. Maybe cuz mine is newer? I dunno..
@MrEmokid09 well if you go to starcase.com you can buy all the parts to build one. I was going to do tht but i ended up just buying a rack case and a amp head case. And if your lucky on ebay there might be one specifically for your amp head but if not your stuck with either building it or getting it custom made.
@danieluan89 kinda. a Thin c is the best way to put it. So it's thin but it's like a really thin fender neck. Not flat like an LTD, Ibanez or Jackson. The best way to find out is trying one at your local guitar shop
6534 and 6505 are quite different, basically the EL34 model will give more mids but will be a bit more muddy. The solution for me would be a 6534 with a 6CA7 which basically is a 6L6 with the mid emphasis of EL34s
@MrEmokid09 you'll sell your right arm to get one, some mesa amps give you one with the amp, they're really expensive and i'd ask someone in your local guitar shop to find out where you can get one locally
@XxXxJUSTJACKxXxX i saw the devil wears prada on their UK tour 2 weeks before warped and he was using his sig for drop D still, and he was using the other one foe everything on the zombie EP (drop b)
shit, just noticed that. Big thing has to be the rockerverbs. It might be weird but I usually dont see rockerverbs in metal guitar rigs, only with jim root, but they do have a fucking heavy tone.
@Inverted314 Well one because schecter necks hard huge. Some people like them but I hate them. doesnt mean they dont sound good though. I would rather play the lespaul becasue the neck is thick but has a flatter back side ( better for playing alittle faster) and also the les paul has better tone woods, but your right alot of what makes up the sound of the guitar its self are the pick ups. so you dont need a awsome guitar to sound good, good guitars just feel better :)
Tdwp cite slipknot as one of their biggest influences. Chris uses ibanez guitars. So does Mick Thomson. Jeremy uses fender guitars with orange amps. So does Jim root and they even have similar pedals... weird coincidences lol.
@xbrandati0nx Why would you much rather play a Les Paul Custom than a Schecter? If you've seen one lately they aren't built any better they just cost 3x as much.
I think TDWP have totally changed like from their look which is a lot more classy to even their guitars with Jeremy and Andy using Fender now. Though its mainly Jeremy Andy and Mike that have changed their wardrobe not Chris so much.
@xbrandati0nx So they why go from a Schecter Tempest Custom to a Fender Jaguar?? I don't see any reason for leaving Schecter unless ESP was sponsoring them, which clearly they aren't.
@XxXxJUSTJACKxXxX he probably had the guitar and used the bridge pickup before he had his guitars 'idiot-proofed' i know for a fact that chris got signed to ibanez and got his custom in 2009 & don't tell me, if you had your guitars 'idiot-proofed' you would take the pickup's out too? It's mainly for asthetic purposes probably
Well, it's better to have it in the guitar rather than not installing it, plus it would stupid to have only one EMG in when the guitars can hold two lol. There would be an empty space right in the middle of the guitar.
