I just picked up the DVD. This band is just, beyond baddass, and the mix is fucking perfect!

Great musician too

That "Doomsday Machine" sound....

Wages of Sin, Anthems of Rebellion, Doomsday....

2 threads about the drums on Arch Enemy albums...

Damn!!! Nice pics! Double trigs on the kicks! Is that for backup, I wonder? And, is that some kind of Earthworks device on the left kick? Wow, and the beaters are turned sideways! Also, looks like Christopher has a Digitech "Brian May" pedal. Once again, very cool pics!

Uhm double triggers were 1 for recording and 1 for monitoring..

Hell-O...

I wonder how to achieve a bassdrum sound similar to Doomsday Machine sound? I use BFD VSTi so the samples are pretty good, but after almost 666 ( ) tries of processing I still didn't get any similar sound....

My question is.... what processing should I use to get closer to mentioned Arch Enemy sound? Normally I use multiband compressors, gates and some Eqss, but maybe there's something missing? Or maybe you can help me with correct presets???

Thanx in advance

oh yeaaa Do you have some and wanna share?

It would be too easy... I want to learn something that may be useful in the future... Using already processed samples isn't what I'm thinking of...

But If you have any Andy's drum samples , please share!
I bet that Andy processes them anyway during mix....

Read the forum FAQ, it's there with a reason.

Is that a circular saw blade in there?

Yeah, I'm curious where he used it on the album, still haven't figured out..
I think maybe the beginning of Mechanic God Creation.....

Does anyone know what effects michael amott uses on his rhythm tone on doomsday machine. I'm really curious if he uses an overdrive pedal to boost.

OD820 into Krank Rev1 into Krank cabinet into 57, OD820 into Mesa Racktifier into Mesa cabinet into 57.

2 tracks of each.

I thought they used the Mesa cab for both heads?

And, to the guy who said that C. Amott had a Brian May pedal? I don't think those were out yet, but I could be wrong?

Thanks, I was trying to get his tone with the amp only. Now I see why I couldn't get it. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
