GuitarGuy65 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I dig the eastern Indian-inspired riffs, very hypnotic and great tone! Cool solo in the middle too... Nice!!! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 This is really good! Good tones, good intro & solo, real good production too (although the vocals seem a little loud to me). Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were a little too far in front. In addition to volume, we had them EQed to push them forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Good tune, great work! I agree the vocals are too up front. Also, on my speakers, the drums sounded slightly too far back and could sound a little bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool!!! What gear were you using? Tell all! Sounded like something with a traditional headstock and a blade switch. But that could just be the way it was EQ’d….

Just my trusty Swirly Cali with reversed head stock and a beautiful toggle switch, thru several presets in my Fractal Axe FX3 and a Crybaby 535 Q. Blade switches are hellspawn devices and with a few exceptions, un-welcome in my lair. Matter of fact, I'm selling off 3 of the verdammt Cali's with blades in 'em.

We had to move things around (like the drums EQ) in order to get the vocals to be more prominent but it seems we may have over done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, the tune is cool. What's your rig on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottcald Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Very cool. Marshall models or something else in the Fractal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to look them up to tell you what was used. The cab IR is one I got from a ML Van Halen pack I bought online- from Eddie's F.U.C.K. period, I believe. The amp is a Herbie CH3 with my settings. I had 4 different scenes within that Preset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool tones! Don't have a Fractal (can't try everything), just curious what the path was. Assuming Herbie is a Deizel Herbert model? Thanks!
