Mastodon Leviathan full album guitar covers! Dimarzio Titan

[BenEllerGuitars]

Hey kids!
So recently i decided to record cover videos for every song on Mastodon's amazing Leviathan, one of my favorite albums. On all these videos, i'm using my Ibanez RG470 swirl with the Dimarzio Titan in the bridge, which sounds absolutely killer! One of my favorite pickups of all time. I'm using my Kemper Profiler here, with a slightly modified Marshall JCM800 Drive profile that i've eq'ed to being closer to the album tone.

I'll post more as i make them, but here are the first 3!

Blood and Thunder:

Nice Ben.

 

[BlackMastodon]

Great job! I think you might need more Ibanez guitars.

 

[InCasinoOut]

DUDE. Killer. I've also been enjoying the Titans through a JCM800 model, and it's interesting to find out you're doing the same in this, because I loved your tone right away.

Your tone is too good what the heck

 

[ShiftKey]

Only had time to watch blood and thunder,that tone and playing was ....ing solid as granite.

[coreysMonster]

Fantastic! I loved it. Especially the tone and vibrato of the bendings in Seabeast, just so good

Here's the newest update! Island! This tune has some strangely difficult stuff in it, and a lot of the tempos feel like they waver a bit. Killer riffs.

Update! This week, we get some Iron Tusk. I think this is probably the most spot-on recreation of the Leviathan tone i've done so far! Thanks for watching, chums.
