Kind of a player request, please!

[HTH AMPS]

metal sub-genre names are ludicrous (and I actually LIKE metal in most of it's extreme forms, just not that folk/viking b*ollocks).

[Nadz1lla]

Agreed, a lot of sub-genre names really are quite poor, heh.

Jonny: Whatever milk's your Guernsey, mate. If the sound that comes out of the speakers sounds anything remotely like that Architects tone then I'm doing something right with the Pod, it's just probably my Axe that needs swapping out.

I was actually playing around with your tones when you gave me the link the other day and it influenced me once again to start writing and one of the songs kinda has a Djenty bit i guess im not 100% sure what djent is lol Jonny will be able to clarify further as he helped with some sections on it

[Nadz1lla]

Oh sweet! Can't wait to hear it. Glad I could help with the pursuit of creativity.  :D

So far, from my playing and reading up on tones. It seems your mids are FAAAAR too high. And maybe the drive is a bit high. When I play it like.. Black Dahlia but quieter, haha.

I'll work around the tone issue. Other than that I'm limited on tunings and Architects is all I can manage (which doesn't involve recording) so I can't really do the bloody awesome Periphery or other lesser known bands.

We'll see what happens.

Ultimately I'm having fun on the guitar.

[Nadz1lla]

Glad it's generating some fun, heh. The tone thing could be that I wrote it to get the most out of my plank (which I am not sure what woods it is made from, meh.)

I imagine something with more natural mids and a more middy pick-up would completely oversaturate that part of the sound, so do whatever you need to get it right for you, heh.

[Jonny]

My recording absolutely $%&#ing sucks. And the tones just aren't working for me now.. :(

[Nadz1lla]

Fair, dude, heh.

I just got a reply on the "Got-Djent?" forum from a guy with an Agile and he said "Djenting" with my tone was really easy, so I guess it works for what I need it to do with my new axe when it arrives, heh.

i did  a couple of clips but the pickup and 9s arent ideal for this kinda music :P

the first is your patch with the gain lowered slightly

and this is the same DI run through a preset in Metal Amp Room

Should've probably backed off on the bass a little on this

[Nadz1lla]

WOW! Cheers dude, that actually sounds really awesome! Nice choice of track to cover too, Periphery are awesome! I'm going to see them on the 31st in Bristol, they're playing the League of Extraordinary Djentlemen tour with my fave band, Tesseract.  :D

[Jonny]

Is it just me who can hear something like bongos in the background of the first clip?

I was actually surprised at how well it turned out with the obvious no gos in the way such as 9s in drop B and the miracle mans mid notch

Jonny- Thats probably the flappy strings i didn't hear it but im sure i will when i listen back now that it's been mentioned
