Devin Townsend - Suicide Clip (Mesa Boogie Mark IV)

[gibson5413]

I entered a Devin Townsend cover song contest and decided to do the tune Suicide from Accelerated Evolution. I left some of the mistakes in tact since I am not a perfectionist (). I know that Devin's rhythm guitars aren't as gained out as mine but I did it to achieve a more "wet" tone. He uses tons of echos and reverbs and I don't have the outboard gear he does. I decided to clean boost (Maxon OD-9) the rhythm guitars to add some saturation to make up for the lack of space created by all of his echo and delay. No boosts were used for the leads other than my Dunlop Wah for the main solo.

Let me know if you want specifics on how I recorded it. It sounds best loud...so turn it up!

Anything I can do to improve the track before I submit? Thanks guys!

Bring the snare and OHs up quite a bit. That will bring some life into the mix.

Guitars sound pretty good.

I'll give it a try.

Thanks for listening. The Mark IV is easy to capture through home recording. I had a much tougher time with my Engl SE and Powerball.

Hey, sounds good!
I'd like to know details of your synth setup. I've been looking awhile for a 'devinish' synth sound.

Thanks!
