Nice!! Very nice... who needs Axe-Fx now?

 

[Mendel]

Hahah, No Axe-FX U mad lolfags?

 

[Trevoire520]

Seems quite alot of eq to me, maybe you could have got closer to the final result by adjusting the amp settings?

Sounds good either way though man. Would love to give this a go but I've not got any djent stuff to mess around with.

 

[Mendel]

I Will that out, and everybody has Djent stuff. Just do bullshit around 160 bpm and there ya go: Djent

 

[Mendel]

*I will try that out

 

[musickey]

Sounds good man, Thanks for sharing

 

[everdrone]

awesomeness!

 

[Trevoire520]

Don't suppose you fancy uploading the DI's and mixed bass/drums for this actually? I really fancy messing with some djent tones but don't have a guitar tuned that low.

 

[Audiosprite]

Very nice, I was even able to get a good sound with this chain (once I set Lecto's gain all the way)

 

[Doctor Gay]

chain of the year 2012?

 

[Jan [MTW]]

Awesome djenty sound! Comes in handy for my latest work!
And that snare is fucking tasty! Which one is it?

 

[Trevoire520]

Decided to mess around with some of Lepou's sims after watching this, really liking Lecto.
Hybrit and Lextac are really cool too. Not so big on Legion or LE456 though.

I think LeGion is really good for 'djent' tones, actually. Here is the chain I used: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39302626/Signal Chain 2.jpg There's also a boost at 180Hz and Stillwell's Rocket Compressor for post processing. Most important things are the emphasis on the high mids and the gain set to a fairly low setting. Here's a clip with this chain: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39302626/January 3rd Mixtest V2.mp3

Also, don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, thought I could contribute on how you can get djent tones, especially since they have such a strong association with the axe-fx and not all of us have £2000 to spare.

 

[CubanDude]

wait.. 0 gain on the tubescreamer and 0 gain on the lecto? oO

 

[hurdy]

Yea the output of the tubescreamer is up full, which drives the preamp into distortion, therefore minimal gain needed on the amp

 

[Mendel]

Nice to hear some of you guys are trying this out!
I do have to note that my Mbox Input gain was quite cranked so you should adjust it to your own taste with the gate and stuff.


Cheers,

Mendel

It's a combo of Snare 22 and Slate snare from SS trigger platinum

They're quite quick to ban people, but it is a very good forum. I would just wait out the ban and keep posting dude

Also, I forgot to mention in my last post, great tutorial and you got a great tone as well!
