Author Topic: More Ceramic Nailbomb metal riffing (Read 17783 times)

I've had a lot of requests to do a longer and less piecemeal clip in a metalcore-ish style. The end result sounds quite Killswitch-y to my ear, and is hopefully the kind of thing that people wanted.

The recording was done with my trusty PGM with its custom Nailbomb set, into a PodXT, using the same patch as in my other clip. I used the neck pickup for the little clean bits, done the Boutique Combo preset tweaked to have less gain and more highs. The heavy riffs are all double tracked and panned hard left and right. I went a little OTT with the 4-part harmony at the end...

Hope you enjoy!

Nolly

P.S I'll do a VHII clip when I've got the neck pickup and installed it. ;)

EDIT: I've changed the link to Pete's version with the drum track added. Sounds a hell of a lot better with drums :)
The original track with just guitars can still be heard here

How custom are your Nailbombs?

Well, it's just the ceramic magnet in the bridge one really..

I see, I see.

You're right about it being Killswitch-y, this is awesome. I went through all 17 pages looking for Nailbomb clips and you and leper, specifically, have made me want Nailbombs so bad. :( NEED MONNEEYYY!!!

Cheers mate. Nailbombs are awesome! Is your 'pig ceramic?

Jonny · « **Reply #5 on:** February 03, 2008, 06:42:13 PM »

Yup, it is. I'm quite happy about the pickups entirely for there sound. But you can never have enough BKPs to be honest. PDT_006

I got bored, so I added stuff. I've been working on this purely through laptop speakers, so if it sounds terrible, I apologise, also I have a horrid feeling the bass just stops playing towards the end, and I forgot to save this so there's nothing left of it other than the raw file of Nolly's playing.

Hooray for boredom!

There's no amp, it's all PodXT I'm afraid guys! I've been told a couple of times that it sounds like a djent-y Splawn Nitro, but I've never tried one so I couldn't say.

My proper metal rig is a work in progress atm, it should hopefully come together in the next couple of months or so. By the end it should look like:

-Ibanez PGM with Nailbombs
-Blackmachine B6 (in June) (C-Pig/CS)
-Blackmachine B7 (early '09) (PK/NB)
-Framus Cobra --> Orange 4x12 (in black)
-TC Electronics G Major effects unit
-iSP Decimator Pro Rack G noise gate
-GigRig Midi 8 floorboard
-Keeley TS9 mod+ and Compressor
-Morley Wah

I've probably forgotten a few things, but you get the idea..

That's pretty much what mines gonna look like in a few weeks!

Ibanez s520ex lilac =] with NB & CS
H&K Warp X
TC Electronic G Major
iSP Decimator ProRackG
BBE 482i sonic maximiser
Behringer fcb1010

and maybe a hotplate for home. got half of it already.

Oh and proper nice clip btw. I'll have to get some up soon.

Sorry for all the questions!! But are both of your Nailbombs ceramic? or just the one in the bridge?
Thanks Nolly! : :D

No problem mate. The neck pickup is the standard Alnico V magnet, and is a great sounding pickup!

PDT_044 I want to see this black Orange!
