Title: pig 90 on a rough idea for opeth style thing
Post by: _tom_ on August 03, 2008, 06:03:14 PM
I've had the main riff for ages but I only just decided to try and get some more recorded. My drum programming today is shitee though - it all sounds too stiff to me, what do you reckon?

Quite pleased with that recorded tone :) Had to get rid of a load of bass at 90hz as it was really boomy, I think it still sounds like that a bit but its better than it was.. The playings a bit sloppy because I was just seeing how it'd sound together. Not sure if it flows well enough but that may just be the drums..

Sounds fantastic. Lots of snarl and growl in the tone but still very defined. Good riffs too.

Yep, great pickup :) I've made the drums a bit better and it sounds a lot clearer, brighter and punchier than my first attempt now thanks to a compressor on certain bass, mid and high frequencies :) Same link as before for that. I'm sort of thinking of getting the Pearl fixed up and getting an edwards SG for the p90s but I'm not sure yet because the pearls neck feels really nice I just feel like I should have an SG for a bit of variety :P

haha remember who you're talking to here - the same guy who managed to ruin a 3pdt switch by overheating it :\

It's basically a P90 in a humbucker housing (a la mississippi queen), but with a sinner/warpig kind of wind that will put hairs on your chest, as I understand it.

Yep thats it. It sounds quite humbuckerish to me unless you have it tapped. Really good pickup and seems quite versatile.

btw I updated the clip, sounds a bit punchier and the drums sound nicer now as I've acquired a slightly better compressor than the one i was using.. same link as before.
