gangaman · 04-12-2010, 09:40 PM

I would say dime`s tone ,VoM ,meshuggah (pretty much all they have done) ,and the one that i havent see a lot on this thread BULB!

MorbidTravis · 04-12-2010, 09:45 PM

i just saw bulb live a few weeks ago, what ever he was using, i want.

ittoa666 · 04-12-2010, 09:48 PM

After much deliberation, absolute favorite tone has to be eric johnsons cliffs of dover tone.

Oh, it definitely sounds fantastic, I just don't think it fits their music quite as well.

A bit OT, but the clean tone on that album, especially on that song is great.

Jeff Loomis from Zero Order Phase.

HumanFuseBen · 04-14-2010, 12:43 AM

Meshuggah's tone (rhythm, lead, and clean!) on the NONE EP is mindblowing. the perfect blend of tight lows, bristling highs, and enough mids for maximum clarity. .... yeah.

Andii · 04-14-2010, 01:57 AM

Rhythm: Meshuggah's Catch 33 tone.(does anyone know any details about that tone other than it being line6 stuff?) Beneath The Massacre's tone on Dystopia.

Lead: Fredrik's tone on the Alive DVD solos. Simply unique.

CatPancakes · 04-14-2010, 02:09 AM

53 seconds in. sounds amazingly huge

I bet that sounds like fuzz when you're actually there.

DjunkDjunk · 05-10-2010, 11:28 AM

Lessee...

Bulb's tones on the Periphery Disc are pretty exceptional. I want to hear him live, though.
Meshuggah-obZen, also the "Alive" DVD. They're using the Axe FX's now.
Pin and Dan Weller on "Death of a Dead Day"...not teh brOOtalZ, but very cool, nonetheless. Clarity and definition is not lost on me these days.

Check out Nevermore's Politics Of Ecstacy. Pat O'Brien's mid 90's Mesa Boogie Rig.
I don't know what Loomis was using, but I believe the bulk of the rhythms are Pat's rig.
Tight, focused, saturated. Fantastic.

I gotta agree with you there, Jeff Loomis's rhythm tone there is monstrous, defo my favourite metal tone. His lead tone is also really good to, but not the best.

My favourite tone would probably Steve Vai's tone. I just can't get enough of his smooth slick tone

. His tone in where wild things are (his live DVD) was incredible, specifically in Now we Run and Building the Church, and as for his studio tone, Its all amazing (except flex-able heheh).

Carcass - heartwork album.... Deadly crushing... 5150 madness

Antimatter · 05-10-2010, 04:29 PM

Steven Wilson has some really interesting tones in his guitarwork with PT. A lot of them sound really manufactured and mechanical, which kind of fits the dark, bleak mood of the music. Hatesong live was really good.

Also the best lead tone ever is Vai. No contest.

soldierkahn · 05-10-2010, 06:45 PM

i think my favorite tone of all times would be from Chimaira's - Inside The Horror ... i think that tone along with Flaw's - Medicate gets me freakin pumped!!

You can't go wrong with anything Andy Sneap has been a part of really.

I agree, also with My Curse, they just really had a ....in tight yet huge sound.... loved it!

Well, they're Vetta II's direct to board, and from what a few people on here who've spotted their settings backstage, it's the Screamer stomp model into the Big Bottom amp model. Not sure about the cab/mic settings. Its not tough to get pretty much on the mark with an XT or later POD with the metal pack, really.

Keep in mind that a big part of their sound is the bass tone which fills in a lot more space than you'd think. If you take a listen to the interview where they're demoing songs, you can get a pretty good idea of how thin the actual guitar tone is, and what role in the bottom and the upper mids the distorted bass plays.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the Axe/Fx, as the "artificial" nature of the POD was a bit of the magic, IMHO (this is also the Porcupine Tree thing as well, as Wilson switches back and forth between the Bad Cats for the organic, softer sounds, and the POD/Variax for the heavier stuff) as the Fractal has more of an "realistic" sound and feel to it.

Daemoniac · 05-10-2010, 08:40 PM

Manson's tone on "mOBSCENE" is pretty ....ing awesome IMO. Really "metallic" sort of grind which is nice as.

And of course old faithful...

The opening for Ministry's "No Glory" is ....ing insane too. I have a thing for high end

ALL of Poweman 5000's stuff has insane guitar/bass mixing too, so while it's probably not my favorite "tone" it's up there as my favorite mixes

Ill Nino have pretty slick tone as well, god damn saturated which is awesome

They may be pretty lae now, but Linkin Park had some pretty ....ing awesome tone going...

Stonesour had a couple of pretty amazing tone moments for me too.

Kidneythieves too...

That's all I can think of... Did I mention I like nu-metal tone a whole lot?

EDIT: Thought of more...

Breaking Benjamin's tone on Phobia (specifically "Evil Angel")

Disturbed on "Stupify"

Mushroomhead on most of XIII, but specifically on Becoming Cold

That will do...

metal_sam14 · 05-11-2010, 06:39 PM

John petrucci's tone on Black clouds and silver linings, with train of thought a close 2nd.

Bungle · 05-11-2010, 08:24 PM

The dudes from Falconer on their "Northwind" album. I can't explain how crystal clear the leads are.

-One- · 05-11-2010, 08:47 PM

Petrucci's tone on A Nightmare To Remember is mindblowing. Gotta love the tone his JP6 Baritone gets.

The Somberlain · 05-11-2010, 08:51 PM

Ron Asheton of the Stooges or Electic Wizard's

BlackMetalVenom · 05-13-2010, 10:40 PM

Joe Kataldo, (may not be fast, but his tone is amazing and organic) Christian Muenzner on the Epitaph album by Necrophagist, Marco Sfogli, Shawn Lane, (something about it makes me listen to him over and over) the guys from Scale the Summit, Guthrie Govan...
I don't want to go on anymore, but you get the idea.

MFB · 05-13-2010, 11:53 PM

In terms of tight and thick :

Devin Townsend (really like "The New Black"'s tone)
Lamb of God (more so from "Ashes..." onward)

Other general distorted tones I love :

Mastodon
Electric Wizard
Sleep
