    Ride the lightning tone - help

    Hey. Thanks for the answer. Although i wasnt talking about the clean guitars. I mean the distorted guitars all throughout the album. The clean guitars have a chorus im pretty sure.

    Ride the lightning tone - help

    Hey Guys I hope some of you might be able to help me. I've always digged the tone of the ride the lightning. To me, its the best tone of the whole metallica catalogue. Theres something in the tone i cant really define. Is it a slapback delay? A special kind of reverb? A flanger? I came close...

    Amp - Missing top end grind?

    Hey Thanks for answering. Im not good with frequencies. In which spectrum does the classic Recto grind reside? I hope you know what i mean. Like a grinder to metal. It was a little silly of me not telling that i actually used 2 different guitars. My Jackson with EMGs and a Schecter with...

    Calling valvestate experts

    Hey all So I've found a Marshall Valvestate 8240 at a good price. But before I pull the trigger I have one question. Is the preamp the exact same as the legendary VS8100? As far as I can see they belong to the same lineup. The 8200 is the stereo version of the 8100. And the 8240 is the combo...

    In flames - The Hive WIP. Feedback please.

    Well i'd love to hear the metal machine. If you could maybe do one where you do all your magic tricks, but another track where its just the standard preset, without EQ, Compressor or anything? And where do you wan't me to put the files?

    In flames - The Hive WIP. Feedback please.

    You might be right about the guitars being too loud. Since im a guitarist, i might have a tendency to focus on the guitars. Think Hetfield and Ulrich in the studio when mixing AJFA. :) I'll try lowering them. I know the drums sound like ass, but this is actually the best i've ever got them. I...

    In flames - The Hive WIP. Feedback please.

    Hey guys So, i finally got around and recorded SOMETHING. For this i used Reaper as the daw, and ezdrummer for drums. Bass is just a ghetto bass. https://soundcloud.com/exardious/hivecompletertm I would like some general feedback on the mix. I dont want it to sound too generic, i.e. like any...

    Best portable guitar tone

    yeh, well a bit too non-portable to me. Something pocketable would be optimal, but a wee bit bigger is ok. But Log-able isn't cutting it. :)

    Best portable guitar tone

    Hey all I'm on the lookout after something portable for my guitar. Something i can bring to the couch, or the other room, the car, train or high up in an old tree for that matter. But i'd like to know which unit to look for. I play mostly, if not exclusively metal. I want something that can...
