YT: Savage and LTD christmas special extravaganza!

[Ola Englund]

...or something like that.

Just uploaded a video that I recorded this weekend and past week. Some of you might have heard about it in another thread. Nothing special here, just the ENGL Savage with SM57 on a Harley Benton 2x12. I usually record everything with active pickups on rhythm but did it with passive Ibanez stock pickups for a change. Turned out pretty djenty!

I finally got home my LTD guitars that I ordered last week and I haven't had a chance to play the EC401 to much but the FX401 is frickin awesome! It has a really nice sustain to it. Tracked the solo for the song with it yesterday.

Enjoy!

Oh, that's the riff with the drum beat!

Cool vid, dude.

 

[xFkx]

sick tone and awesome riffs

mind sharing it as an mp3 ?

Yeah and to Plankis who did the drumbeat I did a comment in the vid but for some reason it doesn't show in this embedded video, but if you watch it on youtube it's there. Tell me if you want some more cred

This song is sooo awesome I like the tone as well, the palm mutes are really tight

Oh and the LTD looks really cool.

Is the FX neck heavy?

 

[Josh Burgess]

Awesome playing, man. I like the riffs a lot.

Do you use a tubescreamer to boost or just straight in to the savage? what about noise gate?

just curious

Dunno should it be?

No the savage has two gain stages already so you wont be needing a tubescreamer. Unless you really want that tubescreamer sound that is.

Well I love my EX-351 to death but I can't stand up with it for very long as it does my back in. The only thing about it that does my head in, was curious is all the LTD EX/FX shapes are the same?

 

[MetalJonesy]

my at has the fx400 dude, same as in that vid anyway, and it was a tad neck heavy, but sounded fucking killer!

 

[Ermz]

Your riffs are so filthy dude. I approve 100%. I would listen to this over most music by a mile.

 

[CatharsisStudios]

god damn i hate you. your tone is awlays great man

 

[KeithTidd]

Your riffs are so filthy dude.

Great way of explaining it. +1.

 

[ESPJL5150]

Great riffs, tone, and playing dude! Can you give us info on the track itself what interface it was recorded with/equipment?
What drum program used if any, guitar chain and is it quad tracked, and what you used for bass? Thanks

 

[Djabthrash]

Downright awesome as usual ! (not your best song though... but leftover riffs so...)

Those drums are perfect btw !

 

[narcossintese]

Is there a MP3 version? I couldn´t find the thread where you posted it. You should make a 5 song EP or something with your instrumental tracks like that basstest. I love to hear instrumental metal while playing MW2.

 

[lolzgreg]

Beastly as usual!

 

[Morgan C]

Wow..

Usually I find your tones really scratchy, but this is just. Wet is the only way I can describe. In a good way.

edit: I cannot stand that snare. Its all boing with zero punch. But that kick.. is that an AD kick or a sample? If the latter, could you share? If its the former.. well done because AD kicks are usually fuckin AWFUL.

 

[Ermz]

Morgan, seriously, you fixate too much on drums dude. It's like a pattern with every single one of your posts

EDIT: You know what I really wish? That Meshuggah would stop being gay with those AXE-FX's and just dial a tone similar to yours Ola. It would make their newer records much more bearable IMO. The Savage is like the holy grail of wet djent that they're trying to aspire to with that digital piece of shit.

I'm a drummer

That and I never listen to guitars tbh.. I'll listen to drums, vocals and even bass before I pay attention to guitars. When I'm mixing I palm them off to someone else to reamping, and then they come in last. And since there's no vocals in this and you really can't tell much about the bass...
