Djent Settings help :o

The Imperialist · 06-17-2012, 02:51 PM

Hey guys i need help trying to find the right settings for that bulb/periphery tone.

the Chain im running is:

GUITAR--->ISP DECIMATOR--->BOSS CS2 COMPRESSOR--->TS9 TUBESCREAMER--->BOSS NS2 NOISE SUPPRESSOR--->PEAVEY 6534+--->TRAYNOR CAB WITH GREENBACKS.

The guitar im using is a ibanez prestige s2170fb with a crunchlab (bar facing the bridge)

if someone could help point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

My setup is on the Right.

did i do something wrong?

GSingleton · 06-17-2012, 08:05 PM

Instafix..... turn the mid knob all the way up and turn the bass and treble down.

Umm.... basically there is a thread for this I believe and all the tone is/was is bumped mids out the ass.

Originality never killed anybody either.

Do you need that compressor? Greenbacks probably don't help your cause. What tuning are you in? Cut lows, boost mids, pick hard... this will help you sound like you are trying to sound like him.

Axe-Fx
BKP
Misha's hands

That should do it.

Stealthdjentstic · 06-18-2012, 01:45 AM

Also, doesnt using all that compression and gain annoy the shit out of you when you move your hand around?

Noisegate.

Stealthdjentstic · 06-18-2012, 01:51 AM

Noisegates don't help that much, even while you're playing you can hear little things you wouldn't hear normally. But then I'm a big fan of little gain even for death metal.

True.

Now we should just make a plan so that OP can acquire Misha's hands.

Bigfan · 06-18-2012, 02:00 AM

I seem to get pretty close with my 5150 at:

Lead channel
Gain: 3 (out of ten, not o'clock)
Bass: 4
Mids: 6
Treble: 5

TS-808
Drive: 0
Tone: 6
Level: 8-10

Resonance and presence at around the mid point.

I also have an NS-2 at maximum threshold, minimum decay

GSingleton · 06-18-2012, 02:51 AM

Mids have to be at 11 like on the periphery debut album.

and pick with this

Blitzie · 06-18-2012, 10:17 AM

Ocara-Jacob · 06-18-2012, 11:25 AM

Lots of mids, a healthy amount of treble, and not much bass at all. Not a TON of gain, but enough for a hot signal, and mess with the noise gates for a quick cutoff.

EDIT: Technique. PICK HARD. Palm mute HEAVILY. Tap using hammer-ons for EVERYTHING, rather than pulling off with your last tap to go back down.

The Imperialist · 06-18-2012, 08:41 PM

haha woah lots of new posts. thanks guys! i know about all the techniques i was just wondering if anyone had the same amp as me and was able to find a successful tone. haha i kinda do have an okay tone at the moment its just not as tight as i wish it to be.

Nicki · 06-18-2012, 08:51 PM

your gate should be near or at the end of the chain

it is i have two gates. the isp decimator to get rid of guitar hum and the ns2 to get rid of feedback. they feed off each other. the compressor pedal fights against the noise gates so that i dont lose the sustain but at the sametime i can have the tight djent sound.

yeah, it was a funny day, my bandmates rented a new rehearsal room so we didn't knew what to expect gear-wise, so when I saw a Pair of MG's I just wanted to

but after the right EQ, it ended up sounding pretty decent

after that we got some chips, beers and cookies

tell me if you want to hear more about my stories with MG's dude, you called me bro, and I have respect for my bro's dawg!
