metalmonster · 07-30-2008, 03:16 PM

meshuggah's on OBZEN !!

but fuck yeah mine too . good guitar playing ... i want my engl blackmore and my ENGL 4x12 (and a D-activator) , will rock sooooo hard \m/

M3RC1L3SS · 07-30-2008, 05:48 PM

I really like the tone on the new The Black Dahlia Murder album, "Nocturnal". It's a badass tight, crunchy tone. Oh, and the tone on the new Chimaira album, Resurrection.

EMG33 · 07-30-2008, 06:01 PM

Dan and Pin's guitar tone from Sikth's Death of a Dead Day. You can hear every single note. Not only that, but the tone still stays tight when they play in G#.

Yeah, the guitar tone on Obzen is pretty sickening as well!

Stealthtastic · 07-30-2008, 06:14 PM

Necrophagists rythem/lead tone dominates anything ever.

Carrion · 07-30-2008, 06:14 PM

The tone used on Obituary's Cause of Death.

auxioluck · 07-30-2008, 06:20 PM

Yeah, Dan and Pin from Sikth.

I still think Mikael Akerfeldt's tone is the best I've heard all around though.

metalmonster · 07-30-2008, 06:27 PM

yeah , classic opeth tone

and , sikth you say ? i should give it an ear (and a look to their gear) , i'm looking for serious tightness for my drop G ...

your_mum · 07-30-2008, 06:31 PM

Definitely Adam Jones.

All_¥our_Bass · 07-31-2008, 12:40 AM

Tool, Meshuggah, Nile, Nevermore, Necrophagist, David Gilmour.

EDIT: also Opeth

VicerExciser · 07-31-2008, 01:42 AM

Despised Icon's tone, anyone?

i think it's really bland tbh, its almost like a smooth classic rock tone, but in a deathcore context. it works though i spose

Blackmachine B2 guitar with Bareknuckle Nailbomb (or warpig, cant remember) pickups, and a PRS Custom 22, not sure about the pups in that one though, and i THINK they both play Diezel amplification

dougsteele · 07-31-2008, 08:56 AM

I'll say Meshuggah NONE.

wow f*ck !
blackmachine , diezel ... hmm ...

Weirdbeard · 08-04-2008, 03:21 PM

AC/DC - Jailbreak

Piledriver · 08-04-2008, 03:28 PM

sikth tone is great,they play also through a peavey 6505...

maliciousteve · 08-04-2008, 04:21 PM

Iced Earth - Horror Show
SYL - City
Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction
Nevermore - Politics of Ectasy
Eric Johnson - anything that's distorted (not super saturated but still distorted)
Opeth - Watershed
Queensryche - Eyes Of A Stranger (rhythm tone)
Fear Factory - Obsolete

that's what first comes to my head.

The Hoff · 08-04-2008, 04:22 PM

For Lead tone I really like Petrucci (especially on Images And Words), Muhammed Suicmez, David Gilmour and Guthrie Govan.

For Rhythm tone I can't really say much, I know what I like I just can't remember anyone who has that specific tone. I guess it would be sort of similar to Megadeth's tone on Rust In Peace only warmer and fuller if that makes any sense.

I guess it would be closer to the tone on Countdown To Extinction than anything.

They used Peaveys on the first record I think and apparently Pin used a Dimarzio Evolution (2?) on that disc too, not the Nailbombs.

Anyway, I don't remember what I posted in this thread but my ideal tone has to be... well fuck if I know. I really like the crunchy brown soundy tones and low-middy dm tone. Used to be a djent fan but eh. Clean tone would probably go to like Smells Like Teen Spirit's intro. Really like those sort of edge-of-od cleans on a strat. SRV anyone?

John Sykes had his sounds completely pegged on that album.

Yep, that's my vote too. On top of that, he was the best sound pinches and smoothest bends of any player.

datalore · 08-04-2008, 08:39 PM

For metal, my favorite sounds are on the Strapping Young Lad City and Alien records. For more rock stuff, Nuno Bettencourt on Extreme's Waiting for the Punchline would be one of my favorites. I also love Devin Townsend's tones on Accelerated Evolution and Terria.

jrf8 · 08-04-2008, 08:45 PM

slayer, "live decade of agression"- both cd's, every song

tequila_sauer · 08-05-2008, 05:49 PM

Always been partial to No More Tears, personally.

Hard to argue with anything Meshuggah or Nevermore have done as well. As an aside, I also love Darkane, Hate Eternal, and anything Anders Bjorler is apart of as far as tone is concerned.

Diogene303 · 08-06-2008, 10:38 AM

I'd say fav tone is down to three players / bands

George Lynch on the Wicked Sensation album , Alex from Testament on the Souls of Black album the sound on machine heads first album.

Diogene

Sang-Drax · 08-07-2008, 09:56 PM

Dream Theater, A Perfect Circle, and Opeth.

I do like Smashing Pumpkins' and Placebo's tones in some songs for lighter stuff.

shadowlife · 08-07-2008, 11:37 PM

Ty Tabor from King's X- the "Dogman" album for rhythm tones

Allan Holdsworth for lead tones

There was a band called Shrine in the mid 90's- the guitarist Steven Hufsteter got the best sound i've ever heard from a dual rectifier.
