Metal sound.

[Aragorn777]

hey guys.
i want to enquire on how to get a good metal tone like those of trivium, bullet for my valentine and avenged sevenfold?
Like, what kind of gear should i be using and all?
Maybe abit of what the settings of effects or amps should be like?
thanks in advance.

start off by listening to real metal bands instead, to get an idea of good metal tones.

 

[Aragorn777]

well, i guess im asking for some metalcore tones.

 

[lamestaine]

bring it all up to 11!

 

[Aragorn777]

haha i don want to get any feedback or any extra noises in between playing man.

I usually just go for high bass, low mids, and fairly high teble.

So 9, 2, and 7. And high gain aswell duh.

 

[EugeneSmasher]

What gear are you using now?

I usually have more bass, more mids and less treble for a heavier sound.

 

[Aragorn777]

I have a podxt live, epiphone les paul custom. No amp though , cause the podxt live is an ampmodeler so i usually use headphones.
i also have the metalzone which i bring to studios instead of bringing the whole podxtlive.

In that case gear-wise, you should not have a problem. It's down to your settings now. Try increasing the bass and reducing the treble, I find that increased bass makes chugging, palm-muted chords thicker and heavier.

Am i actually weird?

LOL, cause i prefer mid bass, low mid, high treble

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

heh, theres nothing weird about.

Its just plain normal coz a the frequencies that resonate with our hearing are pretty much different according to individual's sense of hearing.

In your case, in general, its just your preference of the eq frequency that happen to fall within that range.

 

[predz23]

I like Kerry King style lots of mids, not a lot of treble or bass

 

[fenderrules]

Since you have a POD XT Live, use the Line 6 Insane settings and dial the bass, mids and treble to 3 or 2'o clock, 2'o clock and 12 o' clock respectively. This should give you a nice warm, thick and heavier sound.

Cheers
