THE ULTIMATE DEATH METAL GUITAR SOUND - Don't Click

[Simon Dorn]

Clickbait-Test.

 

[Smash]

There is no arrow, so i dont know where to click.

Also, where the fuck is your hat that your friends at gibson gave you?

You are kinda terrible at this sellout shit

Plus: It doesn't work at all. Or it does, depending how you look at it.

 

[Simon Dorn]

Not too bad, though...

Sounds good, but for death metal I would probably boost it with something spicier than a TS, just to make it a bit wilder and out of control sounding

Maybe TS into a MIAB into the 800? That's a great combo and gets a bit more aggressive but keeps the marshall DNA. I've been doing some field research into this double boosting thing since Racer mentioned it last year.

. I've been doing some field research into this double boosting thing since Racer mentioned it last year.

I've found it to be the trick. Especially boosting select frequencies. I'm using a semi-parametric mid boost coupled with an SD1 for example. But I think you could get the same effect with two TS style pedals, or a TS plus GEQ and so on.

I used to use a Maxon ST9 and boosted that with an OD9. I tried the TC-Electronics, EQ's, 2 OD9 Stacked, Metalzone, SD1, DS1, HM2, Amptweaker, Maxon 808. OD820, TS9 Mini, 808DX (?), Rat and then still probably a few that i don't remember now, then i used the Deadweald Duality DX but i never had a meaner, thicker and punchier sound, than with just a simple good old TS9. The Amp is below Bedroom-Volume in this Clip with only 1 single 57 and only 1 Track on each side.

That doesn't matter at all.

Absolutely, especially in that type of music - there's a lot of things competing for frequency real estate

Yeah I don't mean two tube screamers, I mean tube screamer + (another gain stage of various flavor) into amp - in my case a low gain MIAB pedal to accentuate the high midrange

Especially with a mix that busy, as in death metal, you gotta have the guitar poke through the drums more and stick out

Yes. I did that too. I stacked all sorts of pedals. The DAE for example is a TC-Style/TS9-Style Pedal with a built in Noisegate.
Here's the clip i posted just recently with some more Mastering going on with a different Mic-Position, also on very low Volume:


Compare it to this:

I wouldn't be the best judge of that type of tone I guess, not a CC fan, just not my flavor of death metal really
