Dude I just got back into acid bath for the 1st time in a WHILRE. Man they're so good. Dax is so incredibly underrated and the whole band is really. I've been playing off and on more than half my life, but always stuck to standard tuning(sometimes drop D). I just randomly acquired a mark Holcomb PRS. It's setup for standard C from the factory and God damn do i love it. I've always liked all kinds of drop tuned music but never played it. I Fn love it now. I learned into the blue 1st off and was hooked.
Got really (really) drunk with Sammy back near the end of his Acid Bath days. We had mutual friends and ended up closing down an awesomely shitty little pub called "The Loose Caboose" in Lafayette, LA. We pounded $2 Old Milwaukee pitchers all night lol. They played a small show the next night there in town - maybe 50 people there, & most were friends of the band. Good times! Long live Acid Bath! 🤘
I was able to talk to Sammy about his signature guitar and was telling him about how ALOT of people want his guitar and that he basically made my dream guitar happen, we both drink miller high life and he was such a easy going guy and when he goes into stage mode, he's like a demon it was really really awesome. Sammy Deserves the good attention he's such a cool dude.
@@kristopherguilbault5428 Yes, I enjoy many kinds of beer, but as far as the most popular traditional American beers (Budweiser, Coors and Miller), I like High Life the best.
As a metal head here in Louisiana that cut my teeth on local shows in the late 90's, this pedal is like a time machine to my youth. I don't need it at all...but I kinda want to own it.
@@bjquebedeaux3597 Aah, cool. My maternal grandmother was a Boudreaux from Pierre Part and lived all over, and some of my Dad's family live over in Lafayette, but they all grew up in Morgan City and then Houma. I, however, dwell in Metaire. lol Always interesting to me seeing different names ending in "eaux" that I haven't seen before.
@Sean Ax " DOWN DA BY U" lol. Fuck yeah man! I reside in Denham Springs now for the past 6 year's. Bout 30 minutes from Baton Rouge. We try to go to Nola often but only for the day. When it gets dark we get dafuq! Lol
@@bjquebedeaux3597 Definitely; Orleans parish is something else. I pretty much only go down there to see bands at House of Blues or any other venue. Even living in Metaire, my Mom almost acts like we're in the East. Of the two vehicles I own, one of them is a convertible, and I plan to never take it into Orleans Parish beyond Lakeview, nevermind the streets, but because of the inevitable vandalism. Everytime I hear "So my buddy took his xyz soft-top-havin'-ass car out downtown...", the conclusion tells itself.
Definitely, I saw goatwhore once and was just blown away by how massive yet tight the guitar tone was. Everything was fine until Sammy’s gear and the venues PA system went out during their set.
Stumbled upon this while wearing my Goatwhore shirt… must be fate. Saw GW and GWAR in ‘22 and it was an awesome show. Stood directly in front of Sammy’s crushing Randall amps for the set and was rewarded for my suffering with a pick. Still not hearing right…
0:30 The symbol appears to be a combination of Jupiter and Neptune. These astronomy symbols are used loosely in astrology/ witchcraft and satanism but have origins in Greek/ Roman European enlightenment periods. Neptune was discovered in 1846. So the symbols are much more modern than you might think. Spencerian penmanship was invented in 1840. (Cursive connected handwriting) As to what this symbol is or what it’s called I do not know. Like Page’s Zoso, this could be were art and history meet the road. 0:30
@@Only2genders43 Ah. I just Googled it and saw that Bollywood movie. That demon actually doesn't exist in the Old Testament (or the Jewish Torah, which is the first 5 books of the Old Testament) - it comes from 16th century Jewish mythology.
Michael Kline makes amazing pedals. I have his Lonely Ghost Pedal which is a volume boost/reverb/delay Pedal for leads and it does clean tones really well too.
@@JWTechn1qu3Never heard of the Lonely ghost pedal. Is it just straight delay and Reverb wirh level boost or does the boost fatten the tone? I prefer delay pedals that have a built in boost that EQs the core tone to be a bit fatter. I use these for leads.
I like the sound of this pedal. When used in front of a driven sound like in this demo, the tone reminds me a lot of how a TS808 works in the same spot. The TS808 has been a staple in that slot for a lot of metal guitarists but this pedal offers more knobs and tone shaping. Me likey.
There was a pedalboard video Sammy did a few years ago for Godlyke/VisualSound/Maxon where he was showing how (at that time) he was using a Maxon OD808 overdrive into a TWA Triskelion Harmonic Energizer, and I'm betting that the "Usurp" knob does a similar sort of thing to the mids frequencies that the Triskelion pedal used to do. Seems like Michael Klein combined a couple of ideas from those previous pedals and created this new Dybbuk overdrive. It sounds just like Sammy!!! I like the sounds very much.
It's called a Dybbuk. I had one a couple years ago, along with a Lonely Ghost, a Crissaegrim, and a Ball Gag noise gate (which I had renamed as a Cemetery Gate). They were all incredible. I sold all my pedals a little over a year ago to help fund my wedding, but I miss them almost every day. I used the Crissaegrim as a boost, and the Dybbuk as a bluesy overdrive on my clean channel, hilariously enough.
I wonder if the Usurp part is a nod to Celtic Frost and maybe is to be played with the tone rolled down (also like Obituary). Sammy is bad ass. Sickest action photos of all time too haha.
Michael Klein made me one of these a few years ago, back when he was just doing custom order stuff. I asked him about the Usurp knob and he specificalyl said it was based on that Celtic Frost tone.
@@Magmoormaster haha awesome man! Thanks for the confirmation. Celtic Frost was my first concert as a kid in 1987 with Anthrax and Exodus. Love that tone!
Pedal sounds kickass. Would love to see a breakdown of pedals that are more focused towards black and death metal. Feels like a lot of pedals more push towards a Slayer type sound or a more prog vibe imo.
I remember seing Sammy at the Belasco with Goatwhore and I don't remember which string broke, but it happened twice in the same song and everything stopped and had to re-string it on stage himself, it was fucking awesome haha
Pedal sounds amazing, but no surprise. On the other hand, the mere crunch channel in that Badlander, on its own, sounded great, which was a pleasant detail.
Usurp sounds like a mid booster that brings the melody out of the strings like Gary Holt does, that's how you bring out the high gain bad assery without dialing gain back. I love that stuff
Minor correction, his last name Duet is pronounced without the T sound. Like "Do-Eh" It's French in origin. He's Cajun after all. (Edit: I realized after typing it that some people may pronounce the "eh" differently. Here it's meant to sound like saying the letter A. Not making the "ah" sound but straight up saying A like you're reciting the alphabet. Not sure how else to write that out lol)
Sammy is awesome i met him when goatwhore toured with exodus (killer show) also got to meet Gary Holt. Great tone and memories. I think Sammy just got a new signature amp head also.
Michael Klein's Lonely Ghost delay/reverb/boost has been a mainstay on my board for the last couple years or so! Dude makes incredible stuff, so excited to see you playing one of his pedals!
I do suggest putting a floyd rose on the type x cannibalismo or any double locking tremolo companies and by the way do you have an idea if this guitar has active pickups ?
That Badlander sounds awe inspiring all by itself. Pushing it with the level control on the pedal takes it into insane territory. Didn't care much for the drive side of it. That Usurp control sounds like some kind of mid shift maybe?
OLA ........ IF you havent checked out or used an Eminence DV77 you may be missing out. i understand why Mick from slipknot uses them. its like a good celestion, but better somehow. its in the attack and mid followed by that bass response. i have mine paired with a Swampthang.
Duuude...🤘🏿😎🎸I like this pedal it looks and sounds really really brutal and it sings and that X type is f...n awesome!!F...n great vid.Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻
The perfect distortion pedal doesn't exist....wait, never mind. This and the BOSS OD-200 Hybrid Drive that has multiple pedals in it are my top two contenders with the Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra coming in third for me.
