You detuned your 6 string to match the notes on Bulb's 7 string (which was also detuned). GASP!!!

Yeah I know it's idiotic and I would NEVER play a guitar like that but it works for this purpose. I did this before with TH2 and then borrowed my friends 7-string for it and there really was no difference. BTW that's pretty impressive... can't be done with any guitar you know. Drop that low and still have it stay in tune etc.

Pitch shifting will also detune some unmusical artifacts like the scratchyness of a string etc. that does not differ when detuning a guitar in real life.

If you like the djent genre I'm pretty sure you want that tone. I for one don't understand what this Metallica fuzz is all about.

I don't know what kind of collective madness has come over djent in the last year or so but every single big djent band was better before they put out albums. once upon a time Bulb mixes sounded good and he had the best Pod tone I ever heard. album came out with that thin, characterless bullshit on top of its countless other problems (shitty master, godawful singing performance made worse by a bad mix job on the vocals). TesseracT's early demos of Concealing Fate were crushing, album came out with thin, crappy guitars that would sound out of place on a top 40 radio song. most other djent bands are simply not worth listening to at all but most of them seem to be using some variation on these crappy Misha Mansoor tones.
it is just straight up a shit guitar tone. rarely before in my life have I ever been so completely confused at how people could possibly like this enmasculated, shitty guitar tone and why so many people are ripping it off. you are using the best guitar modeler on earth.. so why are you intentionally setting it up to draw attention to the fact you are using a modeler instead of a real amp?
I thought djent bands idolized Meshuggah... they don't use a tone like this. don't tell me people are putting Periphery on a higher pedestal than those guys these days

Agreed.
People looking for the Djent sound were often referred to a POD for that type of sound. It's funny that people are attempting to emulate something with expensive high end gear that originated on a piece of low end gear. lol!
But to each his own.

Yeah, not to shit on Clarks match eq thing, I find it pretty cool actually... but I picked up the Periphery disc proper a few months back and I honestly cant listen to it for very long because the mix / master physically hurts my head. Shame too, I like the band and some of the songs pretty well and Id love to give props to an old forumer.

The djent tone is surely a weird tone. To me it sounds "honky". That kind of a tone works amazingly well for extremely low one note stuff and I guess that's why they did it. The first time I heard that tone my ears didn't get used to it either. Anyways... they are one of the few heavy bands to actually get this big in 2012 and probably the only progressive band to do so... ever? I mean they are even more mainstream than Meshuggah.
Anyways the album that's coming out in july will have Axe-Fx through 5150 III power amp and Mesa 4x12 cab.
I hope it's not as honky.

I hope it's not as honky.A little tip, I know you were just tuning down quickly to show the sound with the lower tuned string but you should always go past the note you want and tune back up to it, if you want it to hold the tuning better - in case you didn't know that.
