As u guys know from very old post from this thread, Cygnus-SN is a special custom order and it costs like 6000 USD. It wasn't a "common" model in any sense and nobody knows u can order it from ESP. It was like a secret product from a secret menu from McDonalds.
We have this online music store...
I know this is mostly unrelated to this thread, but this is something that should interest u guys.
I just did a collab cover with a friend from Japan, and I'm not using any typical Cygnus.....
I was luckily to be able to get my hands on a second-hand Cygnus-SN (real ESP, of coz), which "might"...
It's more of a fundamental tonal thing. A snappy twangy high output pickup (Bill Lawrence), a distortion pedal that keep that snappy twangy tonality well (Friedman BE-OD), and a marshall.
With a setup like that, any EQ will not affect the snappiness of the tone, because it's fundamentally a...
Leda recently expressed his opinion on digital pre amps at twitter, especially on Axe-Fx and Kemper
It's an interesting read, here's my translation of his tweet:
"Recently, there's been a lot of music which the guitars are recorded using Axe-Fx. But same as Pod (Also the preset which I (Leda)...
He said:
Coincidentally, I've been listening to something nostalgic these days, it's a band called Deluhi
Maybe he just bumped into his old Deluhi songs in his computer. (And hes trying to be funny saying "It's a band called Deluhi" @@)
....talking about being nostalgic, I haven't been here...

Sujk is...

Leda soundchecking for babymetal
Quite interesting actually, his tone would sound extremely horrible alone, but insanely clean, aggressive, and just pure Leda-ism with a band @@
The 6505 is a bit more ballsy from what I know, but very subtle differences.
6505/6505+ are great amps, but the thing I dislike about them is that they are like the EMGs of the amp world. There's SO MUCH coloring on those amp, I can make my Cygnus sound extremely close to my BFMV sig Jackson V...
Wow, activity is back @@
The Gold M7 isn't Leda's, it's Ohmura's. They have been hanging out a lot since the whole Babymetal business.
6505 itself is very far from Leda's tone, I would describe the 6505 has a very "sticky" tone, with a lot of coloring. Leda's tone heavily rely on the L500 (A...
The blue box thing could be monitor mixer for recording, still, looks sophisticated as fu*k - -"
One funny thing, Leda always set his amp's master volume as low as possible, I wonder why....
Rondo of Nightmare remind me a bit of djenty stuff these days, very cool!
Still, looking back at Leda 18 years old jam with the masters and comparing to this.....holy damn...and he is actually ripping a insane shred in budokan in front of like 20,000 people.
It still feels like yesterday when...
omg, he did go back to EMG humbucker lol
His strat is mostly for session use. Leda used it heavily on the Daigo session when it still had EMG SA in them, and he also used it in Bleed the Truth intro when it had Bill Lawrence L250 in them, and clean parts in the Undivide album. For Babymetal...
T.C Electronic creating White Hole esque clean delay and chorus using Flashback and Corona with Leda
