I use the Megalith on my guitar, which is the same one Al Cisneros uses (or used to at least) on his bass.

Also remember always tune down to drop C, or "man tuning" as Matt Pike calls it.

EQ first and always, but also Blue Box and chain a few distortions.

The closest guitar I can reach tends to be in drop B, "girl tuning" :getin: (I don't love it but it's kind of my baby)

I make my own. Fuzzes or fuzz sound-alikes the lot of them. Haven't properly recorded them yet, though. I have used a Big Muff, a Boss HM-2 and Black Arts Toneworks Black Forest and LSTR in the past.

HM-2 ---> Black Forest is the best combination I've found. That orange and black bastard is an excellent boost pedal.

Boo me for selling my HM-2 some years ago.

Black forest on the darkest depth setting and gain a bit above half, HM-2 all dimed with the high rolled off to get rid of the nasally whine. Perfection sir!

I was lucky enough to get a "broken" (dist knob broken off, can turn it with pliers haha) HM-2 for dirt cheap last year after regrettably selling my old one awhile ago. I missed it.

How did you get into making your own? I've always liked the idea of doing that but don't know where to start.

I have a pedal called "Acapulco Gold", one knob, and it emulates the sound of a cranked Sunn Model T. It's my favorite pedal besides maybe the Wooly Mammoth.

Pike uses standard C, rather than drop C, except on The Art Of Self Defense, where the guitars are tuned slightly flat for some reason.

The old Boss FZ-2 is pretty fun to mess around with, since it's pretty much early Electric Wizard in a box.

I'd been interested in electronics since forever ago but was too lazy to start reading up on stuff on my own. Then I went to electrician school and the curriculum had a course on electronics and that got me started. Read up on things a bit more, checked out some schematics and slowly started to understand what does what where. From there on it was "try this thing here and that thing there and adjust the resistor values until it sounds good." Been building my own circuits for about a year now.

i don't have like a list handy or anything but from memory I can't think of many doom bands that use drop C.

Sup doom goons, I have a very good dilemma to have. I'm seeing Boris play Pink on the 14th, which is gonna own. Earth, of course, is playing with them, and that's where my question comes in, since I've only listened to one album of theirs; The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull, which owns bones. So, where do I go from there to get more familiar with Earth?

Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
If you want more stuff like that, listen to Hibernaculum and Primitive and Deadly.
Something more experimental and generally weird? Angels of Darkness
More folk, less distortion: Hex
More distortion: Pentastar
No, I mean a lot more: Phase 3
No really, ALL the distortion: Earth 2 SLFV

Those are all good. Never hurts to browse recent setlists, e.g. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/earth/2016/930-club-washington-dc-7bfc9ee8.html

Pentastar has a special place in my heart. Dylan Carlson and Adrienne Davies are both super sweet people, too.

Well well well, this looks to be one disturbingly erotic post
I know a lot of people dumped on it, but Primitive and Deadly ended up being one of my favorite Earth records. I started out with Hex and Hibernaculum which are fantastic, but P&D just sounded so much more sinister.

Looking at their whole catalog, Earth has one of the strangest evolutions of sound.

From the Zodiacal Light is one of my favourite Earth pieces, P&D is really good. Angels & Demons II is the only miss in their catalogue I think and even that's not really terrible. It's certainly a varied body of work though, which parts of it I prefer have changed a lot over time.

Regardless that it's nothing like their sound these days you should definitely listen to Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Edition. Go sit or lie in a dark room, put it on headphones and listen to it all the way through, come out the other end feeling calm and clean and good. If you like the more droney end of their spectrum then A Bureaucratic Desire... is worth looking out although and if you're still into it then try Living in the Gleam too.

I will also be at that show (pending press credentials. Hopefully I can snag a ticket otherwise) and I'm thinking I should check out a recent Earth album as well. I don't like Earth 2.

I mean they only have 5 "new Earth" LPs: Hex, The Bees Made Honey, Angels and Demons I & II, and Primitive and Deadly. If you want to get a feel for what they'll be playing I'd just check their Bandcamp and listen to a track or two off each of those. There's also Hibernaculum which is older pieces in the new style and A Plague of Angels which sort of bridges the two.

I've really enjoyed post-reboot Earth getting heavier and heavier tour by tour. Not like the original run of course, but it's still cool. Also, Boris riffed through Ouroboros is Broken a few times during their encore :swoon: :2bong:

Earth 2 is their most 'important' but they don't play that live nowadays, Hex is great and then most of the ones after that are more of the same except for the newest one, which is like a bit of Pentastar coming back in(but still good). Pentastar is good and they play the odd track from that live too.

They're playing in Bristol the same week as Yob and Black Cobra :asoiaf:

Also while I wouldn't mind getting more pedals, I've been running this beauty in the meantime:

Yob's first NYC show of the tour they did last November with Black Cobra was one of the best shows I've ever seen. You're lucky to have those shows in the same week. Kinda jealous.

e was kinnda hoping for more tracks but it'll fill the void for now. Only 5-7 mins long, too. Kinda disappointed theyre not the 10+ minute sagas we're used to.

E2: On their instagram they posted a video of their guitarist playing some poo poo that I don't think I heard on the EP so I'm hoping there's more to come soon? Teaser?

If you need something similar to scratch that Pallbearer itch check out Spirit Adrift, Nate from Gatecreeper and Take Over and Destroy, Jeff from Goya is playing with them live, super solid dudes, and super solid record. Streaming the whole thing for the moment.
