Good day! I am once again on the never ending search for tone. Feel free to skip the following essay and just tell me about the SFTY4-7.
My Jackson USA Chris Broderick 7 (with floyd rose speacial) has had 3 sets of pickups so far and none of them have made me happy. This guitar is a maple...
Hey everyone! I just posted a quick 30 second demo of the Fortin NTS plugin. No talking, just riffs. Of all of the plugins I have used so far this one seems to be my favorite. Next on the list to try is the Fortin Nameless Suite. On this demo I used my Mayones Duvell 7 loaded with a BKP Black...
Recently released my latest mix and I am very proud of it. I’m fairly new to mixing and have definitely seen big improvements over the last year. Here is the final mix for //FUMES// by my band The Illusory Self. we also have a guitar playthrough on YouTube for this one. I used my Mayones Duvell...
Recently order a Black Dog and VHii for me Mayones Duvell Elite 7 String. The guitar is a mahogany body, Ash top, and Wenge/Bubinga neck. The stock pickups were the SD Nazgul/Sentient. While i've had a great experience with these pickups for another guitar, I felt that the upper mids we too...
Hey everyone, I am back again looking for new pickups for my Mayones Duvell 7.
Specs are as follows: Mahogany body, ash top, wenge/bubinga neck, ebony board, hipshot fixed bridge, tuned to Drop G# with 10-70 string gauge. I use an Engl Savage 120 and Kemper Profiler, usually with an Engl...
I recently picked up a new Mayones Duvell 7 elite gothic on reverb. It showed up in mint condition and I absolutely love it. It plays and sounds great. After a few weeks of owning it and playing it I noticed a small area within the wood grains had no black finish and I could see the raw wood. I...
Hello everyone! My band, The Illusory Self, has just released our latest EP. We blend a few different genres of metal together to create a heavy, melodic, chaotic sound that we are really proud of. Please check it out if you have a minute and let me know what you think! I produced everything...
New Guitar Day! I've been eyeing up this particular guitar for a while now and I was finally able to pull the trigger and for a great price.
The guitar showed up with 10-60 NYXLs and tuned to standard. I have to take it for a set up and larger set of strings. Obviously I've been playing it...
I'm on my 3rd set of pickups on my Jackson USA Chris Broderick 7 (floyd rose model). The guitar is maple neckthru with mahogany wings and a quilt maple top. The guitar plays great so I'd love to keep it. Problem is, I am on my 3rd set of pickups now and I am not 100% happy with it. Stock...
I couldn't find a thread dedicated to Architects or their new record (if their is one, sorry, but there definitely needs to be). I am loving "Holy Hell" so far. Josh Middleton has really brought some amazing riffs to Architects signature sound and made it work wonderfully. What's everyone's...
Just got a new set of BKP to replace my dimarzios in my jackson CB7. The guitars pickup routes were made to fit the dimarzios perfectly. The base plate is rounded off on each corner. My BKP have more of a square on the corners of the base plate. Has anyone had any experience shaving the edges...
I have a Jackson USA Chris Broderick 7 string that I am having some trouble with. Original pups were to meh, not tight enough for my liking, although they has a nice lead sound. I swapped then for a set of Dimarzio Titans and now I'm getting a super high mid spike that is super annoying. Low end...
My new project The Illusory Self just dropped out Debut today. It's a 2 song split/EP titled Praise The Fantastic. It has some elements of metalcore, black metal, and deathcore. Check it out and if you like it please give us a like/follow on our pages! Throw some feedback my way as well...
First, I'd love some critique on this track and the tone. It's got some surf rock vibes in the beginning (completely unintentional but I dig it). Chromatic and heavy. Any vocalists want to track something for this? I'm hoping to get a new project in the works.

Lately I've found myself sort of bored with new music. Occasionally I'll stumble upon something fresh that I love (ex: Caligula's Horse) but haven't really seen anything completely new to metal that hasn't been explored before. We've had nu-metal, metalcore, deathcore, djent, instrumental bands...

Not sure if anyone has seen but a few artists (Misha, Matt Halpern, Nolly, Alex Rudinger to name a few) have been posting a photo of "good tiger" and tagging a band page along with it. Anyone know what this is? A new super group? A roadrunner united type of project with many many artists...
