KILLSWITCH ENGAGE

[Gainzilla]

Diezel VH4 and Splawn made the cut on the new album

 

[Metalus]

Really?

Wow im surprised. It looked like they were headed the usual Recto/5150 route. Did any other amps make the final mix? Or is it only the VH4 and the Nitro? The tone on the new album is badass. ESPECIALLY the lead tones. If thats what a Nitro and VH4 sound like, then im sold lol.

I would love to hear more info Gainzilla. If you wouldnt mind providing us with some. Btw, say hi to Dan (Vezina) for me. Him and I speak regularly, and im sure he will get a kick out of it.

P.S. Would u happen to knw what pickups Adam is using in his new Parker Fly Deluxe? Supposedly both him and Joel are big fans of the 85 in the bridge but im not sure hes using one right now since his sig model comes with an 81/85 configuration. I would love to knw whether or not he has an 81 or 85 in the bridge. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Andrew

Any idea what the main guitars were for the new album? Still Caparison Angelus models?

 

[K Odell]

I am sure it was Joel's Dellinger and Adam's Parker probably.

How disappointing, a bolt on Super Strat over a beefy doublecut

 

[K Odell]

I mean he could have used a Les Paul. They were just what I could see them using. And their tone still rules so who cares.

Edit: Didn't mean for that to come across so hostile haha. Damn the interwebz and its lack of ability to show emotion.

Also I will add, my Charvel is a bolt on super strat and it sounds worlds better than my $3,000 Les Paul

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, but for heavy rhythm tones, I dunno (though I was actually referring to the Angelus, not the LP ) And I'm a bit "meh" on the tone of the new album tbh

 

[K Odell]

Yeah at first I was myself, but now I am starting to love it.

I don't know...they used Angelus models on the last two albums. They're usung the TAT Dellinger and Parker in these pics...but they're using Triple Recs, JVM's, and 5150's...which didn't end up getting used on the album. I wonder if this was just preprodiction?

Vintage Modern, Juan But maybe also those were for monitoring while they captured DI's (and ended up re-amping through like a Splawn and Diezel or some other weird combination that didn't end up sounding overly amazing IMO!)

Holy crap I did type JVM. This is an excellent example that you can drink too much coffee.

I don't know, I kind of dig the tone on the new record...I just don't think it really works with their style.

 

[K Odell]

I like the tone a lot myself. Its not my favorite of theirs but I do like it a lot.

 

[Metalus]

We need more info on this lol

The new album is better than ADD in my Op. I really wasn't expecting much but i am actually liking it. I like the snare but it is too loud and the GTRs are a bit too quiet but i think the overall thing has a bit more life than ADD. I haven't checked the waveform but it doesn't sound as crushed as ADD.

 

[Machinated]

damn, anyone else tried out those 5150 settings? pretty damn tasty!

 

[16S]

Machinated - red or green?

 

[Machinated]

I was on red, but i usually am

I'll try it out on green. if you check the rate my mix section i just did a post with pretty much these settings (i had the gain lower). Ill do more with the mic moved away from center a bit and some on green channel too to compare.

 

[16S]

cool! i'll check your clips. thanks

New pics of Joel's sig model

 

[Nuno Filipe]

I dont like the kick drum of this new album. Dont have enough punch.
