what is your tuning & strings gauge ?

[lelahel]

hi everybody,
i have an ltd mh400 emg81/85 i was playing in D, and now i decided to go in C. so those questions are to know the importance of the tuning and strings to get the desired sound.
i'll start first.

 

[lelahel]

Guitar : ltd-mh400 emg81/85
Tuning : C Gauge: 60-12

Bass : unkown-emg
tuning : C gauge: 125-50

metal genre :
death/trash/oriental influences

 

[SimonTaddio_Qc]

11-52, standard tuning, but I like my strings to be super tight

 

[Erratic]

70-11

C Standard

I used to play Dean Markley 42-9 for 4 years in drop D but I changed that last year and it was a shock

Using Dunlop Big Stubby 3.0mm

 

[HollowmanPL]

Tuning: A# and B
D'addario 13-62
LTD MH-301

 

[Wolfeman]

I use 11-70's as well, in open C

I also have a guitar tuned one step down from that, using the same gauge strings.

On my standard tuning guitar, I use 10-52.

.

like C-G-C-G-C-E ?

do you play hi-gain/metal stuff tuned this way?
The 2nd string must be fucking tighter than the other strings, no?

 

[lelahel]

please can you post us some clips?

 

[Erratic]

You want recorded guitar clip?

 

[lelahel]

[Wohma]

PRS CE24 tuned to standard D
I was using 10-52, but I have switched to 11-56 lately and I feel fine about it.

 

[Erratic]

Dean Markley
Ibanez RG series 320

No it took like 2hours because of the floyd rose (I really hate changing strings!)

and there you go

I used Le456 vst with some 3 impulses cab
These are 1st take playing so it's sloppy

1st song is Gorguts - Obscura Intro and second one is Suffocation - Blood Oath

 

[lelahel]

great tone man! i'll try a 70 gauge!! very surprising !!

i think that the dimarzio evo also have a great role for the clarity, no?

 

[Erratic]

LOTS, this pickup is extremely bright and I also use it for lead, but still I'm thinking about changing it or switching it for a forever classic EMG 81/85 but still in decision for that.
And that's my practice tone btw, if any of you wants my presets and impulse just say so

 

[lelahel]

yes of course, can you please post your presets? what IR do you use?

thnx alot man,!!
i'll try them now,
you use tse808, as tube screamer, or you sue the TS9 pedal?
those are asem impulses?

 

[DullElysium]

Drop B - .70 .56 .42 .24 .17 .13

I could propably rethink the three highest strings (and I mean the G, B and E-strings) but they do their job just fine like that.

I use Ibanez TS7 on TS9 Mode.
Those are bought impulses. I gave them cause I felt generous.
