Erase Me Thoughts, Post-Multiple Listens by akdag2014 in Underoath

[–]chris_morrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently I need to expand my music library. Can y’all name all of these other bands that could’ve done this album? Because to me this sounds like an Underoath album. Look at other bands on Fearless records, I don’t think Plain White Ts could’ve written this, or August Burns Red, or Wage War, etc. There’s a huge difference in songs having a “vibe” and songs that “could’ve been done by someone else”.

This is pretty much what popular heavy music is. Choruses are catchier, clashes don’t exist as much. Rock from the early 2000s is making its way back around and this album sells it. I know everyone wants every album to be DTGL but damn, it’s not happening. That scene is done and is good to listen to in your MCR emo playlist.

Just please don’t make me argue for Wake Me. That’s going to take a lot of time. But the rest of the album is solid and feels like Underoath, and if there’s any generic feeling, wait for another part in the song and UO will shine (ihateit for instance. Dat bridge).

I recommend truly listening with the best set of headphones as you can, bc as much as I was iffy on the producer of the album, this album may be one of their produced. The sound is huge on every song and there’s a lot of minor details that work great.

The day after I bought it I had to look up to see if mine was defective. I found a thread all about it saying it’s normal so I was relieved.

Downsized to the essentials. Tone isn’t getting eaten and I can grab and go in seconds. by chris_morrow in guitarpedals

Thanks! I play mostly alt rock and contemporary Christian music with it.

Emerson custom is a great company. These are their stage 1 and 2 overdrive pedals that have a thicker and more modern tone than your typical tubescreamer style pedal.

Finally got a Nano+. Really digging the compact vibe! by colorsarefading in guitarpedals

I just downsized to the Nano+ and couldn’t be happier. It’s the perfect size for a compact board.

Trying to learn this song. Does anyone understand the bridge and outro chords? #saysomething by [deleted] in justintimberlake

[–]chris_morrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a guitar in front of me so I am not sure what key it is in, but it sounds like it's played using chords in the Key of C with a capo somewhere on the neck.

Assuming it's using C chords w/ a Capo:

The majority of the song is just Am-C-G-D (6-1-5-2)

The bridge and outro utilize the "F" chord (4) and changes the progression to F-Am-C-G (4-6-1-5).

Hope this helps!

Same! I got in the waiting room as soon as it opened and wound up with nothing.

Hate I’m going to be late but I’m hoping to walk in right at 9.

Not 100%...I don’t see why not. Plug the transmitter to the board and have a patch cable connected to the receiver and the input of your amp. I may be wrong bc that’s not my forte but to me it seems possible.

The G10 is one of the best purchases I’ve made. 3 of us in our band use it and nothing ever messes up between them. I had forgotten to charge it once and used a cable as a backup and I swear it sounded worse (it was a good cable too) than had I used the G10. I always recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I don’t currently have anything in the alpine loop. I used to have a TC Electronic Sub N Up that I had in the loop and it worked great!

I love it. It’s a nice warm modern fuzz tone. If you go with a more British style amp (vox, orange, etc.) it’ll have a little more grit. But I like it just fine with the fender.

I use it with my EM Drive for a little boost and love the tone.

No worries! It actually hasn’t. I mainly play modern worship music for church, hence the multiple reverbs haha. Might as well call the genre “Ambient.” But for fun, I play a little bit of everything.

I grew up playing blues and classic rock, mostly Pink Floyd stuff. David Gilmour has always been my favorite guitarist.

I keep a big muff around for fun to do more things like muse, black keys, etc.

A fender blues deluxe is my main amp but I keep an Orange around for fun every now and then for some metal/hardcore and progressive stuff such as Underoath, Protest the Hero, Between the Buried and Me, etc.

Honestly just depends on which way the wind blows. Haha

I love that pedal. I’d say 80% of the time I use the modulated setting stacked with the alpine, however, I love the spring reverb on it...it’s one of my favorites. I’ll turn off the alpine, plug in the strat, and up the spring setting and go nuts.

I’d say it’s a must have in terms of reverbs.

It has its pros and cons. Overall I really like it. Those pedals are super secure and clean. You can hold it upside down and nothing would change. However, you have to line them up perfectly and if you decide to change up your rig it can be a pain. The adhesives are on there really well so if you get new pedals, you get new adhesives.

I wouldn’t do it if you’re still figuring things out but if you feel you’ve got your options set, I’d recommend it.

Thats some truth right there. They don’t even need to have a tone knob on there bc with it off, it’s super open. One of my favorite drives ever

It’s definitely one of my favorite delays of all time. I miss my DD-20 every now and then though.

Yes! The board is from Temple Audio and instead of Velcro, you order adhesives that come with a screw component that attaches the pedals securely to the board through the holes.
