finally got a lead tone im happyish with (nailbomb Bridge)

[Transcend]

still not mega happy but its a lot better than the results ive been getting lately.

i am more than happy with the rhythm sound im getting though.

Ill make a clip of that later.

nailbomb is right channel left is a live recording of metallica.

cut down on the reverb for a start.
I can't actually properly hear what you were going for there as the sound just got lost in the washout.

Other thing would be to name the sort of sound you're actually after.

[indysmith]

that is an awful lot of reverb there. Nice lead tone

[Transcend]

im going for a kirk hammet slow solo type tone but im now going more towards a necrodphagist lead tone.

ill cut back the reverb and see how it sounds

[Hurley]

thought the reverb sounded fine for the song.

[Will]

yeah me too actually, couldn't really listen to it all that well though, as media center kept skipping :? but the reverb sounded spot on!

thats strange.

im unsure where to go from here now... ill have to make more clips

what's the best way to get the necrodphagist lead tone? I don't like their music but I do love his lead tone

[kevincurtis]

Just my 2 cents worth, but i would say reverb is fine...but you have a slapback delay panned hard right that does throw the sound a bit, either speed the delay up to just a few miliseconds for thickening, or lengthen it (usually to be in tempo with the song).

Liked the tone and the feel you were getting there fella :)

cheers :D

i dont normally get any comments on my feel.

I actually thought i played it pretty bad.

and ive found the best thing for a necrophagist lead tone is a low output neck pickup with some chorus and delay.

just mess around. Oh yeah a compressor would be good as his tone is quite even

I think they use Engl amps

I know it's engl and ibanez guitars, I've no idea what pickup though, or the best EQ settings for lead tones, I tend to just stick mids on full and turn the treble and bass down a bit

I always use the neck pickup for leads too, I've never thought of using chorus for lead tones, I'll have a fiddle with it later, I usually tend to use chorus for cleans

[JJretroTONEGOD]

hate to be picky but it sounds like delay, not reverb, it's more like a slapback, vintage like echo, and there probably is a tiny amount too much, but i still like the sound of it, it's not like there is too much in the mix.
