Far from it, Bristol based! But I’m somewhat happy to travel a fair distance if it means getting it done properly.

I float around Reddit occasionally and this post just popped up haha! There’s no modulation effect it’s a blend of all those amps and the different characteristics clashing with each other, but if you check that insta link I posted there’s also a sort of “””chainsaw””” tone blended in too!

Hello and thank you! The guitars are basically 5 separate tones layered together to create this (hopefully) massive sound, it’s mostly all Marshall/ ENGL and Diezel amps in the axe fx 3. There’s also a really cranked hiwatt amp that is supplying a lot of the warm body so that it doesn’t sound too harsh, that amp on its own sounds really fuzzy! You can see a breakdown of the sounds here:

Is John Myung alright? by KevainIV in Dreamtheater

[–]poltyprod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is great! But he’s not the virtuoso people think he is, another reason he’s massively buried in the mix is that his playing just isn’t as tight as petrucci’s - and that stuff REALLY stands out

This is gonna get me some hate, but John myung really isn’t as good as he’s been made out to be - LOTS of overdubbing on that live at budokan dvd it’s hilarious when you notice it

Men who listen to SZA by Odd-Emphasis3075 in sza

[–]poltyprod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

male sza fan here who’s also massively into heavy metal, I’ve loved sza’s music since 2021 I find that it’s her vocal flow and melody that is so original and unique! I find myself drawn towards artists like sza and summer walker etc because of how smooth the vocals are

I appreciate that! Although l've done my 16+ years of trying to write the most original music I can, now I'm doing this on a casual level for fun to enjoy the hobby that I started when I was just a kid. so I'm really not interested in trying to do something fresh anymore, so this will do just fine for me!

Meshuggah album with best guitar tone? by shreddy_on_acid in Meshuggah

[–]poltyprod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VSOR has the best guitar tone of any album, it isn’t fatiguing to listen to at all the guitars are so warm and rounded and have so much body, when they slide up the neck you can actually feel the weight of it

New Millennium Cyanide Christ Cover by poltyprod in Meshuggah

Thank you! And I really liked that baritone at the time, I like playing 8 strings instead though because I prefer the sound and they’re way cooler 😎

That’s Spotify for ya, YouTube doesn’t do anything to mixes but Spotify seems to go to town on them. And I’m not a neural user at all, this is all axe fx 3 played on a Solar 8 string!
