Guitar Tone Competition Final Showdown!

[Jaymz]

HAHAHAHA that looks awesome! The fro really suits you Marcus

 

[BrettT]

yeah, you might be right about that, but how about so that the drums are actually processed so you can actually make the mix sound good?

The drums are processed.

I vote next time everyone does their own drums, bass, and records the guitars themselves so that everyone is happy. :Smug:

 

[Djabthrash]

D for me. A and G were close.

Didn't like C at all, and B / E / F too much either.

 

[Djabthrash]

haha

 

[phatfil]

congrats to all the finalists! and BIG thanks to Mark for setting this up.

super tough for me to choose here. it was between A, C, and D. hats off to you 3 gents. these are awesome tones! D has great mids, C has killer presence, and A has serious grind. all of them sit so well in the mix, too. most impressive.

in the end, C gets my vote. towering gain in high def.

 

[Morgan C]

And just to give one more disclaimer to try to salvage my rep as a guitarist, as I mentioned those two palm mutes right after the arpeggiated power chord on the 1st fret are really hard to dig into cuz I have to mute everything so abruptly and cleanly! Many people who tried playing this riff for the competition can vouch that it's deceptively hard to do cleanly, and if nothing else I think I succeeded there! Observe

Normally I'm not so neurotic about proving a point, but you guys' opinion of me as a musician is definitely important!

Fair enough. BWP's tone makes it a little easier to nail than with just doubletracking like this. But no more complaining about the lack of saturation on the palm mutes, eh? ;p

 

[Metaltastic]

Hahahahaha, well it was actually in The Leper Affinity that I bitched about that, but well played

[MarkG]

A C and G are simply walking into Mordor.

 

[16S]

I voted C - Perhaps doesn't have as much body as some of the others & maybe its a little hissy/fizzy but i like that bit of wee 'djent' you can here on the palm mute. None of the others had that.

 

[Killzone2kX]

My vote goes to G. It was the only one that had a full sound to it. The others seemed to lack the thickness that G has.

 

[IanBTS]

A takes it. C is too fizzy for me!

 

[Pot]

i choose A and C, voted for C

 

[lolzgreg]

MARK! When I said these aren't working for me, I meant when I was trying to vote the links weren't working

I do like my own work and most of the people's who made it to this round!

Oh haha thats weird, seems to be working fine for everyone else.

 

[Nukular!]

C gets my vote. Not too dark or fizzy.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I'm not going to lie, I really don't like any of these...

 

[lolzgreg]

I said that the first 20 minutes that the files were up! Then about a half hour later I got it to work.

 

[Metaltastic]

I'm not going to lie, I really don't like any of these...

Yup, just to say it one more time, I take full responsibility for that cuz of tracking DI's with the pickup too low (not intentionally, I just didn't have a choice since they're direct-mounted and I hadn't jury rigged my solution to raise it yet) and for not the best riff selection, but I stand by the performance!

 

[lolzgreg]

Next guitar tone competition, I'm supplying the DI's

I'm excited for the outcome.
