Heavy guitar sound.....

[pooo]

i think james really should do something about him..he's been making pointless comments that are not constructive or helpful time and again..

Yea i second that. I hope this can be resolved peacefully with everyone happy though...

You said not the guitar leh. You saying 0% is from guitar and 100% from amp. Which is wrong.

I can put absolutely any guitar with any combination of wood, strings, electronics, pickups through a distorted Marshall and if i play it right, it will sound heavy.

Semi acoustic can? Or..... an ukulele with an acoustic mic pickup?

Maybe if its a damn super ultra lousy single coil, it'll feedback when gain is above...

But on the whole, i agree with you vern.

I saw this guy in Thailand with a Spanish *Classical guitar* that had some kind of mic pickup. He ran that through a Boogie combo and was thrashing like James Hetfield.

If you have a ukelele, I got a transducer pickup. More than happy to knock out a few bars of Creeping Death on that as a demo.

Wohoho.. But wouldn't it feedback? My semi-acous feedbacks like crazy

 

[vernplum]

Sure it will, but depends on a number of things, postioning relative to amps, eq settings, volume, etc. which will all affect the amount of feedback. Obviously a miked acoustic isn't the best thing for performing thrash metal live, but think about DI situations or low-volume home recording what kind of sound variety you can get by experimenting with other guitars.

Not happy come fight la.

 

[MrE]

Woohoo... guitar club become fight club!


fight... fight.... fight.... fight.... fight...... fight......











heh, kidding lah, don't fight, don't fight

 

[Newbie]

Lol relax lah. So pissed for what? Please lah this is internet only. Lol

 

[hifi_killer]

the les paul neck pickup can ya give the thick n heavy hard rockish sound (gnr, velvet revolvers, the darkness) something strats can hardly imitate through tweaking of the amp. if your heavy = heavy metal.. then maybe not. But kirk hammet does use les pauls too

 

[beckerfan]

He has an esp custom with a les paul body and EMG pups. So yes he does. Strat can do metal - IRON MAIDEN, however Smith uses a double fat, Murray has hot rails in a S-S-H format and Yanick I have no idea. Strats with 3 singles coils will have trouble getting a heavy metal tone.

 

[Newbie]

Yeah i agree with becker.

Murray's hotrails very nice and heavy eh?

Me is big fan of maiden eh!

 

[gargamelesp]

there are many different versions of heavy metal i guess

iron maidens sound is not that heavy compared to lets say in flames or slayer. in fact it is a little on the light side of heavy metal imo

but in the end the amp makes up most of the tone

 

[beckerfan]

Never the less is still have metal. 123, the amps, preamps and effects do count for alot of your tone.

 

[Newbie]

From what i heard from my friends.. Maiden uses OD from marshall's right?

What pedal they use? Don';t have right? I mean e distortion.

 

[beckerfan]

JMP-1 preamps, DBX comps and TC delay units if I remember correctly.

Wtf. Noob alert

[teleholic]
