What would Jbroll do?
I wish I usually knew the answer to this question before waking up on the floor and finding out secondhand about something I previously considered banned by physics...

Marcus my only comment after reading all that is this ...
you're too fuckin nice sometimesIts cool to keep your cool but once in a while you should unleash the fuckin fury on asshats like that. What would Jbroll do?
Cheers buddy!
Haha, well I've always been the laid-back type, what can I say - he can go on and on, but it's a fucking forum, so it's really not worth getting too worked up about! (and more importantly, if I do, then he's won, because I've let him get to me and get me angry, which gives him power over me)
Thanks a ton man!

knows what you think.
No doubt this board is gonna be found if ever someone tries to google the physics of metal. And I do not mean the genre. I feel subliminally brainwashed at times
Thanks, and yeah, I've really decided all that gain is mandatory for the sound I love - for awhile I did the whole "the absolute minimum amount of gain necessary or your a n00b!!!!" approach, but I just can't get enough of the roar totally saturated guitars have; this tone actually was what really sealed the deal for me!
It's not even my favorite tone character-wise (too far from the dustcap and too metallic), but the roar of those guitars with all that gain, FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Of course, there's still such a thing as too much, but the way that works for me is to palm mute the open A-string (well, it's not actually an A since I'm in C-standard, but I still call it the A-string to minimize confusion ) and turn the gain up until that wonderful saturated fizz really comes in to add sustain beyond the initial attack

Yeah Mercenary have great tone. One of my favs. Hope my songs sound like that after I record 'em haha.
+1 on the guitar tone...UR MIDZ NEED TO BE +11 and GAIN LOW!1!.... just do whatever the fuck sounds good.
