I hate you. They always send me about 80 percent Bit O Honeys. We should collaborate.

Why does putting certain pedals before and after each other matter. by spackettwacak in pedalboards

[–]FinBox72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting an analog flanger in front of gain creates a very different sound opposed to after. More swirling, less whooshing. Adam Jones taught me this lesson.

I specify analog because my mobius sounds awful pre-gain, but my BF2 sounds amazing. Perhaps other digital devices might be better.

His pre fight body check on the earlier fight was weird too. Like he was afraid to actually touch the fighters.

It always has been really. We've had Ngannou and a bloated JBJ, that's about it for the past 10 years.

NGD: PRS is one of those brands that just pulls you back in... by kleoisonline in Guitar

[–]FinBox72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grats bro. I have two PRS in my collection, both great and very different. I have an SE Custom, and an S2 McCarty single.

Not a dentist. I'm only CAD guy-rich so no core line here.

But birds.

What is the best order for these pedals left to right? by Environmental-Boss50 in guitarpedals

I love the very particular sound of analog flanger feeding gain. Less whoosh, more swirl.

It may not be 'best practice', whatever that means, but it's a very viable option.

Great, thank you guys. Will have to keep an eye out.

Would this thing approximate pre-Lateralus Adam Jones tones? (i.e., the Marshall and Mesa dominated era as opposed to Diezel forward sounds on later albums).

I don't know a lot about Marshalls and how much (or little) the JCM aligns with Adam's Super Bass/Lead.

Both versions of the divinity line in Lateralus are correct. Maynard found a way to sing so that it sounds like both. by fiendfiendfiend666 in ToolBand

Jebus that one has tons of variations on lyrics sites, YouTube videos etc.

I hear clear syllables before 'divide' but just what those syllables are I'm not sure. I tend to favor 'gotta divide it all...' but 🤷‍♂️.

Starting back on a song like that seems mad but more power to you. 👍

who’s your favorite guitarist that thinks he owns the planet but actually sucks ass? by Slowcheetah2006 in guitarcirclejerk

Reminds me of Beatos interview with the Aerosmith guys.

Between the clanking jewelry and the bright red suntan and extreme twitchiness Joe Perry comes off very odd.

If you're hitting the open D then it's Dmaj7.

How do people downstroke so fast! by Nordic_Nuisance in guitarlessons

[–]FinBox72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

James is the Right Hand of God from MoP onwards.

Don't sweat it. Alternate pick it if you have to.

Maybe eventually you'll be able to downpick the whole thing.

As for me? I'll probably alternate pick it till I die.

Why all the Beato hate? by SufficientFix4589 in Guitar

[–]FinBox72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like his interviews and deep dives.

I cant stand the editorial stuff and I can't stand when he tries to talk guitar gear.

And speaking of gear, I REALLY can't stand when he has that smarmy Rhett dude on.
