Not metal, but here it goes: me demoing an arrangement I made of Paganini's 24th caprice for electric guitar and orchestra. This is just a fragment of the entire thing.
For shits and giggles I recorded a cover of Mastodon’s “Blood And Thunder”.
Guitar was an Ibanez SZ320 with the Fishman Devin Townsend set, using both the Active/Passive settings.
AxeFX III using a JCM800 (boosted) and a Friedman HBE, presets came from Austin Buddy’s Live Gold pack, I just tweaked them a bit to fit the song (Sorry, I can’t share these, AB deserves all the credit for this pack!)
Bass is my Spector Pulse, can’t remember the whole signal chain in the AxeFX but it was a Big Muff into a JCM800 into an Ampeg 8x10 mixed with a DI.
Drums were SD3 and took way too long to program. Long enough that I gave up on adjusting the velocities because those fuckin’ snare rolls are a bitch.
I spent a few hours re-working this RG7620 with copper shielding, PAF 7 pickups with a 2 way switch, noiseless springs and a Lo-TRS 7 (since I barely touch the tremolo).
