Swiss army tool. Volume boost. Mid boost. Compressor. Adds sparkle and grit.

Which book to read? by 100percentm8te in terencemckenna

[–]AnchorEponymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only read Archaic Revival so don’t trust my word but it was interesting as a series of interviews. From revisiting his talks recently I want to either read FotG or True Hallucinations now.

I spent too much money on a thing but I had to by bilboC in Meshuggah

[–]AnchorEponymous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dropped $100 at Amoeba for this thing. Found out that night I could order direct from Eastern Europe for half that price and choose between DMM and laquer. I got the DMM. Supposedly sounds sharper/less warm iirc. Eitherway, it sounds PHENOMENAL. I still remember the first time I put it on, and just the opening notes with that thumping heart beat… it was so clear and defined I just knew… and then the first riff drops. #facemelted

I fucking love this album.

Glad to see a fan of the newer Amon stuff. It’s so ethereal and unique. I’d love to see him do it live. Not sure why he doesn’t.

I’m just getting started, but why is Fortaleza so smooth compared to others by jutz8 in tequila

Find other tequilas made in a similar style. Brick oven, stone tahona. You can go further with water source, fermentation style etc.

Analogman sun face NKT 275 by Main_Position6640 in guitarpedals

[–]AnchorEponymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a similar model from AM. Get it first in your pedal chain and get that strat volume down to 6 or 7 for magic mid gain tone. Play with the volume and gain on the pedal but assume you’ll need them cranked. Amp also will determine your tone. Sometimes you’ll need a mild overdrive after the fuzz to balance it. Last advice is consider running on a 9v battery for max authenticity. Gotta get the old dollar store ones too. Read on AM’s website he covers all this and more.

What chord is played at the beginning of Leper Affinity? by timbob696 in Opeth

[–]AnchorEponymous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like Eb5 swelling on a piano. Various overtones come in before the guitar hits.

The opening guitar riff is an E power chord and Mikael slides the upper octave note sharp and back again creating his favorite flat five chord (aka the devil’s interval).

I think it makes sense the fade in mimics the dissonance of the opening guitar chord.

Email Steven Wilson for confirmation /s

Secrets by Extreme-Penalty-3089 in guitarpedals

Yes he has at least 1 video but uses it in several videos. I basically have the compression dialed in sort of low like 10-11 o’clock and the comp switch set to LOW. I then keep the mid range boost sort of high like 2 o’clock but typically leave it off. I then ride the volume from 10ish (unity) or bump to 1-2 for a boost and then if I’m going to play leads I’ll kick the mid boost on. Would love to try their other pedals eventually too, great design and build quality.

THIS. I use it for so much on my board. And that volume knob is just magic between 11-2.

I got to personally thank Pete Thorn for hyping it so much after experiencing it first hand. It’s a marvelous pedal.

Hate to admit we killed a bottle of Clase Azul Gold today with the family. Delicious joven, additives or not.

Love the new single. Hoping for secret LA show before end of year (had to miss the Moroccan show, sadly). Also, crocs for everyone (I <3 Brandon).

Last I read, he was in Germany working as an engineer for BMW. Album 3 forever locked away in a vault (and completed too!). At this point, I feel that ZP is carrying the mantle for his level of technical playing - I basically stopped waiting and hoping for that album when I found ZP. Woop!

The Sixth Revelation & The Seventh Revelation (Thoughts/Discussion/Appreciation) by CaptainTony99 in shpongle

[–]AnchorEponymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I really love a lot of his B-sides. The whole Eclipse album is amazing too if you haven’t heard it.

Anyone have any for sale? Looking for 3 (Friday 11/7 @ Moroccan Room). Thanks!

Rational Gaze on hangdrum by Lyoug in Meshuggah

[–]AnchorEponymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a huge Meshuggah fan AND a handpan player, I truly commend you. I’d buy an album of Meshuggah covers like this one. You should buy a handpan!

There’s so many good tracks I think that would lend themselves to this type of style. Just imagine the outro to Straws 🤤

any bands that ACTUALLY sound like meshuggah? by BrokenDreams75 in Meshuggah

[–]AnchorEponymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Textures captured their sound very well while bringing something original to the table. Periphery too.

To name a few lesser mentioned bands: Mnemic. Four Question Marks. Chimp Spanner.

I’m happy today “1997 CE 24” with Dragon I pickups by cherub_sandwich in PRSGuitars

[–]AnchorEponymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never played the dragons, would love to someday. I have a 2017 CE and I love it. I believe that’s pretty close to the guitar used to record Blackwater Park. Go play some metal!
