YT: Diezel VH4 and 8-string action...

[Ola Englund]

Last time I did the VH4 test I had roughly a couple of hours to get it done. So it was kinda hectic. Kent was nice enough to let me borrow the amp again and get to know it better. This amp is pure awesomeness.

One interesting thing I noticed while doing this cover is due to my picking technique I get a very scratchy sound. Not as clear as on the meshuggah album, anyway it will do

WoW dude ... major ass kickage!!

What did you do with the kick to fix it, its almost perfect dude. WoW!

I love this amp soooooooooo much!

 

[Keregioz]

Sounds good! The performance is awesome too! Personally I can't play more than a few seconds of the first riff without my hand hurting. That's because I play the "triplets" Schaffer style, which is D-U-D D D-U-D D etc. (D=down, U=up) which is much harder physically than D-U-D U D-U-D U which I assume you're doing.

Yeah I'm doing the alternate all the time picking. But when we spoke to Dick(bassplayer) he said he played the DUDDDUD. :O
On the fucking bass guitar... crazy...

Actually I didn't do to much. I put it down a bit I think and put back some 200 hz. But I also did a tweaking on the total mix and drained around 1000hz.

Thanks for your help again.

awesome work

For a guy who doesn't particularly like the band, you sure have been covering a lot of their stuff

Cool stuff man!

 

[C_F_H_13]

sounds awesome man. I like the final mix for sure!

 

[Kazrog]

Sounds great, especially for stock Ibanez pickups (AFAIK.)

 

[Disconnekt]

Holy fuck. This sounds absolutely devastating. I need one of those guitars. And a VH4. And a million bucks.

 

[Harry Hughes]

This sounds better than the original song's mix anyway .
There's actually bass guitar and the guitar is not irritatingly scratchy

Well Im not their biggest fan, but what else am I going to play with my 8-string

I changed the pickups to Rautia Rawdog8. The stock pups would kill the cover.

I never heard of these. Why did you go with them over any of the other 8 string pups available?

Cause I'm helping the guy out. It was his first set of 8string pickups. And I got them free.

Helping him out by receiving free gear huh? Very nice!

Could you provide any info on them? They sound very good in this clip.

 

[prostetnic]

^^ Nope. By making people interested in this guy's pickups.

I was referring to the 8stringed guitar man
