Guitar/pickup shootout! *Painkiller/DougAldrich/81TW/J50BC/AT-1*

[Kride]

Had a day off from work couple of days ago so tried to do one of these things... more or less sloppy.  :shock:

Same settings on all the guitars. Same post-processing which is mostly only on the master track. The tracks are ROUGH, no noise gate applied.
Bridge pickups only.

Signal chain: Guitar -> TC Electronic Desktop Konnekt 6 -> Logic 9 (Amplitube 3 loaded)

The 'digital tonez' makes them differ less from each other but there's still noticeable differences IMO. A little tweaking some of the clips would've sounded better but I thought this might result more comparable tones.


Have fun!  :D  :chain:

All pickups sound preety good,but it is hearable that Painkiller got something that these other guys cant.Thanks for this video,it was very helpful to me,since Im in metal music also.Cheers! :shock:
