Favourite distortion

[Necropeth]

Alright so for example theres a clear difference from the distortion
used on deliverance and ghostreveries/watershed.

Which album has your favourite distortion/guitar sound?

 

[Lightbulb Sun]

I suppose I prefer the older albums. The Ghost Reveries/Watershed era is somewhat more diversified so it's really hard to pinpoint just one tone that you use to compare with one tone on another album.

The guitar solo from "Beneath the Mire."

Haha well i mean the distortion itself, no other elements such as delay or reverb, the actual distortion itself.

I like the distortion tones from Ghost Reveries & Watershed. The lead tones from GR is nice. Very Dual Rectifier soundings

 

[Fegyi]

the distortion at the end of Bleak
album: maybe GoP

 

[fränzi]

Definitely BWP. Just has a rawness, but an....I dunno "awesomeness" to it.

 

[Walls1441]

BWP no doubt

 

[liquidcow]

I think Deliverance, it's quite raw sounding. BWP or GR are good as well though.

 

[Lothlorien]

deliverance.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

A down tuned bass guitar through a Big Muff and a 16-second delay...

 

[opeth_353]

I think the BWP tone is the best .. But i hear people complaining about it quite a bit.

..Can't remember why, overly compressed or whatever.. Overly something.

 

[Serhan_pnr]

BWP and still life

 

[Deathamphetamine1313]

Gotta say BWP. Just listen to Lepper Affinity, Bleak, and Funeral Portriat...hell, just listen to all of 'em. But my choices between GR and Water? Watershed. I can def hear some classic death metal in it.

Morningrise. It's different from any distortion i've heard on any other band

listen to any black metal band

 

[Gëist]

The Roundhouse Tapes. So deep, brutal and sharp. Impressive for a live record.

Nope. The tone is rather dry which complements Mike's equally dry voice, and balanced with the wet bass and crisp drums. Beautiful.

 

[Annihilat0r]

Intro to Wreath. Obviously. How crisp, and how brutal that tone (and riff) is.

Blackwater Park, it sounds so desert.
