DDonut19 Sept 2008
when this other band records there shit ill give you a link i rekon you will like it. And also the best voice ive ever heard
MMr Fox19 Sept 2008
yep^^ even with a crappy mix and no tweaking up, if you lay down a decent sound it will still sound better than that - just clearer and more dynamic.
If you think about it, when you're trying to get a strong tone out of your guitar...well the stuff is called distortion. It distorts. It's what it does, and why it's called that. Now logically...I mean...geez it's a bit insulting to all of us to have to dumb it down this much...
And Johno don't get your back all up about it. So what, some bands demo isn't given the highest regard by some jerks on the internet - it's not a personal attack at you.

Deathy has the sound you say you want, and he says "less gain". I'd say it's worth giving a shot before getting defensive or whatever about it eh.
MMr Fox19 Sept 2008
ah you typed stuff while I was typing!! Those arrows were meant to point at Deathy's post.
DDonut19 Sept 2008

couple of mates bands from down here in tassie. almost all have questionable guitar tone haha

http://www.myspace.com/mephistophelestas (this aint too bad, not sure how it was recorded though - Chalky ex-Psycroptic on vox)

http://www.myspace.com/ntdeath (pod II pro - really getting sick of this tone)

http://www.myspace.com/zerodegreesfreedom (shithouse boss tone - worst out of the lot despite the semi-pro production [joe haley])

http://www.myspace.com/msiareshit (similar tone to that band johno posted which i guess kinda fits the 'orrible brutal death/grind sound they want, chalky on drums too)

actually, the only time i like cranked distortion is in the case of the entombed/dismember sound. double checked with the guys from dismember when they toured recently and the 'secret' is a boss heavy metal pedal with all knobs cranked into a JCM900 or 800 with everything cranked again..... sounds like shit but in a good way! haha!
