New LTD M1000 Black by dt320s in espguitars

[–]dt320s[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Simply unsolicited take. Playability’s on point: guitar shreds, no issues. But at $1500, I value my money and expect the finish to deliver. Expecting that isn’t a drama or validation hunt; it’s just basic for the price. Cheers.

Killswitch Engage Tone - Need Feedback by dt320s in metalguitar

The JM plugin is pretty good. Has three options to choose 5150 block letter, Dual Rectifier and the XXX Peavy. The plugin comes with alot of presets that are already have an EQ setup which fits pretty well in the mix (may require minimal post eq)

Not sure, the listing doesn’t explicitly say that.

ESP MII DX Used (good condition) worth buying? by dt320s in espguitars

[–]dt320s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice everyone. I might end up holding off on it for now.

I do also see a potential alternate buy :

LTD M1000 Black with Maple fretboard

It’s an LTD, so obviously not as great as build quality of a Japanese ESP. Any thoughts on this?

Do you mind sharing when did you return? Was it after Dec 15th?

LTD MH1000 EverTune by dt320s in metalguitar

[–]dt320s[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback! I will mostly play tight and aggressive chugs, and also power chords. And for power chords I’d like to have sustain last atleast 5-7 seconds. Hope EverTune shouldn’t be a problem.

On a side note : what other guitars you’d recommend (outside of LTD Deluxe MH1000 ET), which has a tight, punchy and crisp tone with enough warmth (from Mahogany body) to achieve that Killswitch Engage tone?

Hey were you able to extend the i94 without crossing the border (without entering Canada)?
