This is a really faggy question and I assume I'm going to get poo poo for this but.. What pedals and effects would I need to use to sound real heavy on guitar (breakdowns) I already tune to drop A and G occasionally.

3toes posted:Could try a POG or Micro POG as well and crank the sub-octave. 7 string guitars with the thickest strings I can find. It works and it worked before even using 6 stringers, only to Drop A though.

Zakalwe posted:I play drop C on one of my guitars and I needed to make up a custom set from 12-60 to get something approaching normal tension. Below B the strings get too floppy for my tastes. I can confirm that its a bitch with 6 strings, but I have never had a need to play a tuning above drop c, so I'm used to it I guess.

Does the micro POG track quick distortion well? Tremolo picking and the like.

hamaien posted:I got a Micro POG for this reason and it doesn't work very well. Thanks for this, I checked it out and I thought "that would be cool for melodic higher stuff, but maybe not for the down tuned stuff" and for 200ish dollars that's a no. All the pedals I am seeing demoed are in the higher end so I'm really unsure about them. I think I can find a massive lower end outside of effects pedals with a 15 inch amp and some tweaking.

I spoke to soon: Micro Metal Muff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOPR_O57VaU&feature=user I will keep that in the back of my mind. Can someone explain to me the advantage of using noise suppressors like this one? http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Boss-NS2-Noise-Suppressor-Pedal?sku=151331 Gaza fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Oct 15, 2008 |

the wizards beard posted:A noise gate will mute your guitar when you are not playing - so when your signal goes below a certain threshold level it shuts it off. If you play with high-gain this is really useful because any small sound would otherwise end up as an amplified distorted sound, and noise can turn into hiss or feedback. Well lets say I record everything to an 8 track Which I have done and if I want to add the noise gate in cubase will it compare to the quality of using one while recording?

the wizards beard posted:Probably not if you recorded the guitars with distortion. The noise is already there, a gate wouldn't help much. You could manually edit the spaces between notes, but that would be difficult and time-consuming. I already remove the over 2 second pauses if nothing is going on. I'm going to see what I can do.

the wizards beard posted:Yeah, the gate should remove the noise between every note. Check out some youtube videos of the Boss NS-2 or the ISP Decimator, noise gates are one of the few effects where youtube demos are pretty reliable. Doing that now, thanks for the input, and thanks for everyone's 2 cents. Oh and I'm a big idiot for not posting this before, but the song "Thirteen" by recon is generally the sound I'm looking for http://www.myspace.com/recon (hope that's not a big derail) Gaza fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Oct 15, 2008 |

archie posted:yotube is blocked at work - i'm guessing it's the one with the jonox m-resonator and the other one as well as the frostwave thingy? I'm trying to recreate this stuff with vst's. Not entirely too difficult but I much prefer actual knobs and something portable. I more like to use over the top filters and delays for synth and drums though. My username is a song title.
