What's YOUR favorite metalguitar tone?

You can hear their tone through all that insane clipping? jk

think this is a recto?




I heard this album was potentially a POD or POD XT?

Pods didn't exist when NOLA was recorded.

They used Mesa Boogie heads and Kirks old Randall RG100 amps, basically Dimebag's setup.

Mine would be

Morbid Angel - Nothing is Not
Pantera - The underground in America

Unfortunately I could post shit like this all day so I'm going to have to limit myself at 3 posts lol

Chimaira - especially on Impossibility of Reason. It's just EMG's and a 5150 with a Mesa cab, so not exactly reinventing the wheel. But it sounds perfect for what they do.

[MetalheadMC]

Probably anything from Alexi Laiho (not Blooddrunk). Jon and Matt of Shadow's Fall had some pretty good tones as well. I think KSE had some great tones on the Howard Jones records (not a huge fan of Jesse).

 

[SJShinn]

I'm a sucker for anything Gary Holt, especially Impact is Imminent, and Tempo of the Damned. Supposedly both were recorded with the same modded Marshall JCM-800. Later era Testament has some killer tones as well. But I can't stand some of the newer, really honky, mid-heavy tones a lot of bands have been employing.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Forgot one.

jon Levasseur's tone for solos is one of my favorite guitar sounds but i dont think i (or likely anyone else) would know what to do with it if i were handed a rig that made that sound.
Desert island tone would probably be onset of putrifaction.I have deep feelings of nostalgia for those couple years in the 2000s when everyone wanted an x shape guitar and engl amps.

 

[mikeymike]

That would be pretty impressive since it came out before Line 6 was even in business

yeah i realized i was talking about the 2nd album after i posted lol. speculations on that? (a bustle in your hedgerow)

The solos specifically on Whisper Supremacy, holy shit.

Agreed, but specifically Nothing is Not that song hits differently than almost anything they have written. and I'm the biggest fan boy ever.

All very true statements. Alexi I think takes it for me. When I think of the term "guitar tone" him and EVH are the first people to come to mind.
