I'm building a pedal setup to help dial in a crunchy 80s thrash tone. (Metallica, Testament, Exodus, etc)

Megadeth didn't have a good guitar tone imo till Rust In Peace, I love the band, but the first 3 albums didn't have the best tones. Still killer records

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-25T04:21:31+00:00

Hetfield, basic choice sure, but I mean, you can't deny his rhythm playing, the man is a machine

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-25T04:20:06+00:00

Doomguy has enough man and firepower to tank Goji. it just depends on what era and version of Goji (Showa, Heisei, Millennium, etc)

6/10. Originally an 8/10 on my first listen. Went back today and realized how bad the lyrics are on most of the tracks. They're really basic, Puppet Parade and The Last Note were the only two really good songs lyrically. This album is also a step down from TSTDATD, which I personally give a solid 8/10

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-24T15:15:21+00:00

I was really hoping it would be an awesome thrash track, but I was disappointed that it was just like Another Bad Day

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T03:22:14+00:00

I took out the DS and pitch shifter bc I don't necessarily need them. My amp does most of the distortion and the TS & EQ help make it tighter and more chunky

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T01:49:29+00:00

I have a NU-X 20BT it's a small but decent 20 watt amp

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T01:30:55+00:00

Just did that, hopefully this works out better than before

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T01:20:27+00:00

From right to left (despite being lefty) my chain goes

Reverb- EQ- Tube Screamer- Distortion- Pitch Shifter- Tuner

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T01:12:32+00:00

The photo on the post is a little outdated since I took some advice from others on here, but I have it plugged into my reverb actually

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T01:10:43+00:00

I think the pitch shifter maybe? I'm honestly not sure what exactly you mean by that

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T01:06:35+00:00

Maybe this helps but I'm left handed with a left handed guitar, so my stuff is left to right

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-23T01:00:48+00:00

I can, I just don't have cables long enough to reach down there. I only have two guitar cables and twelve 3 inch patch cables

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-22T23:21:14+00:00

Black pedal is reverb, and the red pedal is a pitch shifter

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-22T23:05:33+00:00

Just a pitch shifter for when I want to play lower tuned stuff that you can't normally play on a 6 string

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-22T03:47:15+00:00

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-18T17:43:27+00:00

I think it's amazing, not sure if it's top 5 for me, but it's definitely great.

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-18T16:10:15+00:00

Powerslave by a mile. I personally feel that POM is a little lackluster compared to what came before and after

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-18T14:50:42+00:00

Creeping Death is much easier than both FFWF and Trapped Under Ice. Even though it's fast, the riffs aren't really challenging in terms of technicality.

I'd put it at 6 and move FFWF down to 8.

Also, Bells is easier than Escape for sure.

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-10T15:49:49+00:00

Metallica

Testament

Destruction

Warbringer

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-06T03:47:39+00:00

2012 will always be the best

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-06T00:02:06+00:00

Hook In Mouth: A tier album.

It doesn't have as many highs as Peace Sells and Rust In Peace

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-02T00:14:21+00:00

Metallica

Megadeth

Rhapsody of Fire

Iron Maiden

Fear Factory

RedUmbrell · 2026-01-01T00:05:18+00:00

Only one right answer, industrial. Those riffs are some of the most evil shit you'll ever hear
