distortion

  1. DeKay

    So this is what slap bass sounds like in the guitar slot (Song playthrough)

    I took my yamaha rbx 375 5 string and just started a new project. I wanted more gnarl and my baritone prs did not give me the gnarl I was searching for. So I simply dialed in a good distortion tone and slapped that bass right and left (100% panned) there is also a third distortion bass in the...

    We are a deathcore band from greece using sls blackjack 7 from schecter custom models and hughes and kettner tubemeister amp's (we've tried many amp's like engl and diezel moded versions for better distortion but the best sound was from the hughes and kettner) also we were thinking about buying...

    Electric shock from vocal microphones when playing live...

    Ok, I'm kinda tired of this situation most of the times when I play live. It's something I've never experienced at rehearsals. Everytime I play live, the vocal microphone is "electrified", I guess it doesn't carry 220/110 volts because otherwise I'd pass out each time I sing my first...

    Pickups for Prog

    Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting some new pickups for my Ibanez RGD7421, but it's such a tough decision. I mainly play progressive metal/rock, so I need something that has decent/good distortion, but also manages to produce a solid clean tone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    I'm using a Peavey Valve King which is pretty terrible for metal, and I'm curious on what I should get for distortion...Anyone have any tips? Ibanez Tubescreamer maybe?

    Pod HD 300

    I want to pay as close to 200 as i can get. I can throw in a Crybaby Variable Q Wah (retail 120, in mint condition) pedal, a boss super OD or a DS-2 if requested.

    Seymour Duncan Distortion 8s

    Just saw this on Ola Englund's facebook page: New custom Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups for his Solar 8. I believe they are a Seymour Duncan custom job, but I feel like this might be something we will be seeing soon. Glad to see more passive 8 string pickups that aren't BKP. Only...

    Purposed Boss Pedal idea

    Boss has a wide array of Effects and such. Some awesome , some eh >.>. But I got an idea for one, I've noticed a lot of Bassist using Boss DS-1s on bass. Good pedal on bass, decent tone pending on what gear its going through. It does cut low end a little but bi-amping is often used to counter...

    OD pedal + Amp Channel switching in one pedal?

    So basically, i'd like to be able to do what the title says without going out and buying a bunch of midi stuff - my amp is not midi capable anyway. I want to be able to go from my amps clean channel to the distortion channel + tube screamer in one click of a pedal. Anyone have a sub $100...

The guitars are my HT20 miced up with a shure 8800 (older budget mic) in a large room. no vocals yet, but...

    CAPZ LOCK, NAOW WITH DISTORTION?

    Are piezos ballsy enough with distortion to abandon pickups alltogether, and just have piezos?

    Pickup selection for distorted solos.

    Which pickup do you use for your distortion tone solos? I've always religiously used bridge for distorted solos and neck for clean/OD but lately i'm finding i'm wanting a bit more girth on my solo tone. The neck pickup provides that thickness for single notes but has always sounded muffled with...

    Vox Satchurator for Boss's RV-5 or DD-7

    I have a mint Vox Satchurator Distortion in the box with all of the papers. It has never been gigged with and I've only played it a few times. Heck, it's hardly even broken in. I really need an RV-5, though so I'm letting this one go. I also have a CS-3 compressor in similar condition. I'd...
