Title: Emerald Metal clip
Post by: Scotty477 on March 02, 2008, 08:36:52 PM
Ok, first off I know sod all about playing Metal stuff but I've been asked by several people to do a Metal clip ... so here goes.

Guitar is my Gibson Les Paul with Emeralds going into a Tonelab LE and recorded on  Boss BR-900CD.

If this is cr@p, let me know and I'll pull it.

Most anticipated clip EVAR!

What effects did you use?

NO, NOT "EVAR" but EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Finally!! This is awsome, could you do the same thing w/o the effects (hope i'm not asking too much)?

Sounds nice and trebly!

It's funny, before Machinehead got his Emeralds I always heard them described as fat and kinda flabby sounding, but this has lots of bite. I don't like the processed sound, so I'm probably not gonna comment further on this, except to say that the "core-tone" is really good.

Emeralds rarely seem to get mentioned, but I've been GASing over a set for a while now - my Explorer is a picky mofo of a guitar and I haven't found a hot pickup that really works with it yet.

The settings on the Tonelab LE were pretty basic.

Amp model is a Marshall Plexi - gain set at 7. The distortion pedal model is the 'boutique' Klon Centaur - gain set at 5.

Apart from that there's no other effects apart from a touch of reverb.

The pickup used was the bridge.

I'll take a look at this a more modern amp model setting for another clip in this thread, shortly.
