Guitar tones you love and have shaped your tone..

[Veldar]

Dick lovgren's tone on Nothing and VoD's bass tone live, I run the two together for the maddest bass tone ever.

Heartwork, and I also really love Graf Orlock's chunky guitar sounds. One of the guitarists said they use a block letter 5150 and a Rockerverb. If only I could make shit that sounded as good as either of them, I'd be set.

 

[ittoa666]

As I Lay Dying, Slayer, Metallica (First three albums), Ratt, Lamb of God.

Basically, I love a good metalcore tone that sounds like it was made with eighties equipment.

 

[DjentDjentlalala]

basically covers all my tonal influences

DAT TONE.

 

[cGoEcYk]

Bass: Justin Chancellor Lateralus era, Tim Commerford, Fieldy (horrible I know), and Gustaf grind on Chaosphere.

Guitar: Right now I like Ola Englund... he seems to get a great modern tone out of every amp he demos. It's usually kind of the same tone but it's a cool tone.

I like the range of guitar tones Isis uses. I am more into post metal and droney stuff than classic style thrash.

 

[DeadWeight]

Born of Osiris' The Discovery (particularly the higher notes on Recreate) has had the most recent influence on how I want my tone to be. Although using a solid state Crate and a Boss metalzone generally leaves a lot to be desired

 

[7strung]

Jim Martin's tone on "The Real Thing" was magical....

 

[fps]

Alice In Chains- Them Bones and latterly Check My Brain
Tool- The Grudge and Eulogy
Nothingface- Bleeder

There are many more, but these are all perfect. When I made my band's rhythm patch on my POD HD (it's cheaper and easier than lugging an amp, it makes gigging fun, it still sounds great) those are the tones I had in mind to balance between. I would love to get my hands on some Bogner stuff or Diezel gear one day.

 

[christheasian]

new btbam tones.
john mayer.
petrucci.
guthrie.

 

[Alimination]

For the whole metal thing, I've been digging the Omnivium album by Obscura lately. Pretty sweet tones.




Other then that, Probably Guthrie's tone on the Aristocrats.

 

[zilla]

Time to date myself..

Satch - surfing with the alien and the extremist. Flying in a blue dream to a lesser extent.
George lynch
Warren dimartini
Old scorpions
Shawn lane
Vai - solo and his stuff with whitesnake
Petrucci
Billy gibbons/zz top
Guthrie govan
Exodus - fabulous disaster
Testament/Alex skolnik
Metallica - MOP, kill em all, and black album
Carcass - neuroticism and heartwork
Arch enemy - doomsday machine


Keith merrow
Periphery
Ola englund
Dethklok

so many more that aren't coming to mind.

Edit

Annihilator
Pantera
Suicidal tendencies
Death
Anthrax
Def leppard - hysteria
Pink Floyd
Sepultura - arise

 

[erotophonophilia]

Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation. Although the majority of their guitar tone, is pure technique. It reminds me of fluttering razor blades.

Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague.

Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage.

Decapitated - Carnival is Forever

Celtic Frost - Monotheist

 

[InfinityCollision]

When it comes to heavy metal tones, my go-to sound is "meaty as fuck"... That crushing, full-bore tone you hear on so many post-metal albums. Cranked Model Ts ahoy! That or my modded Mesa Nomad - not quite Recto heaviness but still that smoother, saturated Mesa tone.

Rock tones are more Porcupine Tree-esque. A bit less low-end, roll back the gain, but still with that delicious crunch that I love so much. Actually I just dig PT/SW guitars in general

I love Allan Holdsworth's lead tone. Chords tone doesn't really translate well to my usual material. I usually go for some variant of Fender style cleans, like these:

 

[Valnob]

Trivium and parkway drive tones (so basicaly, 5150.)

 

[svenlk]

been really into that abolist the echelon tone, and ofcourse danza :3

 

[BusinessMan]

i'd have to say ola's, dino's, machine head's, and gary holt's tones have given me what i have today. love low tuned thrash sounds

 

[RagtimeDandy]

Mastodon - Leviathan (Full Album HQ) - YouTube

Periphery - Periphery II Full Album Stream (IN STORES NOW) - YouTube

(this one is the main tone I go for when I used 7/8s)





Sylosis - Monolith (Full Album) 2012 - YouTube

 

[JosephAOI]

The Contortionist's rhythm, lead, and clean tones. Periphery's clean tones, Scale The Summit's lead tones. Born Of Osiris' Rhythm tones.

 

[Leveebreaks]

Carcass on Heartwork and Surgical Steel, Crowbar's Odd Fellows Rest and Killswitch's live tone. Supersaturated but full of mids

 

[chassless]

i only dream to one day attain this perfection :





of course that's just for metal.
