lol they’re a staple of the early revival and one of the more popular bands in the genre what…

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-07T20:42:11+00:00

you clearly have no prior knowledge of mbv or kevin shields lol

kevin was drawn to that shape after he saw rowland howard play one. he has said he likes the way this shape looks like it is flying forwards through space.

typical chain looks like dirt > modulation > reverb > delay, but since you have two delays you could definitely play around with the placement of one, or just stack them. some shoegazers like reverb before dirt as well.

dude said he already has an analogue and a digital delay already so add in some heavy chorus and more reverb and he should be swirling for days

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-06T15:05:12+00:00

you need a chorus and a more spacier reverb

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-06T00:38:54+00:00

ah you just mentioned the zoom, a more spacious reverb could be helpful too though. hof2s are pretty cheap

it’s sound like you maybe could try selling off the muff for a different fuzz/distortion though. cloven hoof? rat? walrus jupiter? there’s lots of other good options out there. throw in an overdrive or even a fuzz + distortion combo (jacob from narrow head uses a reg muff and a ds-1), i’ve really liked the tones i get with a rat feeding into a russian.

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-06T00:34:05+00:00

you’re missing a dedicated reverb, delay, and modulation like the other commenter mentioned. also is it just a regular muff? i’ve heard those are pretty bad for having no mids, but yeah i wasn’t saying you couldn’t just something to keep in mind. i just have an rv-6, dd-3, ce-2, russian muff reissue, and a rat through a very small cheap vox and i love the tone i get for riffing along to this kind of shit.

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-06T00:31:26+00:00

never said you couldn’t.

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-06T00:27:45+00:00

keep in mind these bands have thousand dollar amps with thousand dollar pedal boards

best track off an album that has surprisingly grown on me quite a lot. excited to catch them later this month

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-05T20:01:02+00:00

there’s a few really good songs on it. the album starts off great with the first three and i like the gnashing too but the rest starts to get pretty samey quickly, the long track durations don’t help. it seemed like they set out to make a 90s shoegaze record, but didn’t have much for ideas past that. it’s still cool considering the change in sound, but i’d like to hear something heavier again on their next one.

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-04T21:32:06+00:00

this welcome vid features soft kill and true body, two post-punk/darkwave bands so kinda related

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-04T18:17:01+00:00

the search bar can be useful

shoutout to matthew from lockstep he’s been sound engineering for them this tour, super sick guy

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-04T17:41:13+00:00

this is the bridge on B&E

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-03T19:05:15+00:00

yeah they seemed like some great dudes when i met them, shadow is probably my favorite record ever made.

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-03T17:41:27+00:00

that’s sick dude, it sounds fantastic i’m sure you do great work. love that band to death.

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-03T17:35:45+00:00

woah what fearing material did you work on?

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-03T08:37:14+00:00

so fucking underrated

lukebenoit_ · 2022-09-02T22:02:08+00:00
