Very fitting guitar tone, what amp is it?

Thanks, I'm actually using nothing but PODfarm on this atm. I'm pretty happy with how it sounds as it fits really well, IMO - but when all of the songs are finished maybe I will reamp through my 6505 and Mesa OS cab.

general sound is a bit too industrial sounding, not bad at all just not sure if it´s what you´re aiming for. Ghetto bass sounds pretty decent with the distorsion.

Please detail the signal chain for us

:zombie: huh? Haha, I don't listen to any industrial music so I can't say it doesn't but you are the first, out of probably 30 people, to tell me that. It's just goregrind, so far I think the sound/tone/drums/mix/everything is all working together really well. What about it exactly makes it sound "industrial"?

AFA bass chain, it's just Strat with EMG-89 (drop B tuned) -> DI, then in Cubase I pitch shift 1 octave down. On the channel I have PODfarm, using dual tone feature. Tone A is Vetta Comp (sens & level 100%) > Rock Classic (DI blend 9%/delay 0%, drive like 40% or something) with Ampeg 8x10 model (0% room) and RE20 mic model. Tone B is Vetta Comp (same setting) > Orange D30 guitar amp (don't recall settings atm) into some 1x15 cabinet on the list and SM57, the main sound is the Rock Classic though. After PODfarm is apulsoft EQ with the usual course of EQ for bass, then Event Horizon afterward squashing it so it's consistent level.
 
First of all the drums sound "intentionally" programmed, and the fat guitar tone sounds more typical of industrial death metal or industrial metal in general than of regular "dirtier" goregrind.

Plus, songwriting isn´t much of goregrind sounding to me but that´s just my opinion, I get sick of genre-nazis very quick so don´t take it to heart.

This is my old band in Venezuela, guitars are also pod, and the sound is much dirtier and the songs are much¨more grinding at least to my ears http://www.myspace.com/intestinalblasting


Anyways, it´s just a personal thought and I really do like the sound, not saying it´s bad at all

Ah ok. Yeah at first I didn't label it as anything specific, just heavy groovage, but more than a couple of people said goregrind so I rolled with it, honestly I dislike labeling music anyway... Really what I was going after was like The Day Everything Became Nothing's Brutal album musically, obviously not spot on or anything but it serves as the biggest inspiration.

Oh! What amp model and boost did you use? This is one of the heaviest podtones I have heard!
 
Thanks dude :kickass:

On the guitar it's dual tone. I am using two Metal Shop models so if you don't have Platinum none of this will be useful but here goes :)

Before PODfarm on both DI tracks I have a limiter running...

Tone A = TS9 model (9:30/2/12 o'clock> MS-Cali Diamondplate (the trick is the treble and presence, treble @ 65% and presence @ 70%, bass at like 65 and mid 30-35, drive to taste), into the 4x12 Treadplate cab, 0% room, U67 mic model. Amp volume 50%

Tone B = MS-L6 Big Bottom, pretty much identical amp settings, only use 10-15% more drive on it than the Recto, amp volume 40-50%. Treadplate cab, 0% room and SM57 on-axis mic.

GTR Left and Right are going to a stereo bus where I have apEQ (just HP/LP, cut at 800Hz & 4k, boost around 5k-ish) and PSP Vintage Warmer, only setting changed from initialize is 4dB of drive, that's it. Then Event Horizon for a little limiting afterward and that's it.

I can post the patch later today for both guitar and bass when I get home. Vintage Warmer realllllllly does a lot to make the palm mutes NOT sound like typical POD plastic mutes, IMO. I'm pretty certain any kind of saturation plug-in will have the same effect, although I haven't tried, I don't have any others haha.
 
Cool stuff!

I like the guitar tone as well, good work getting that out of a POD. Br00tal ;)

Not sure on the ghetto bass.
 
needs 600 layers of wow and flutter and tape saturation and a low-pass at 6khz and you're pretty much there :D
