awesome sound! i'm thinking of buying this pickups for a carvin dc727 (mahogany body and flamed maple top), would you recommend it? (sorry for my english, i'm learning)
they're pretty decent sounding pickups and would fit way better in a mahagony-body compared to my basswood board. So yeah don't be afraid to try them and see if they really fit your personal taste!
It's well played as far as fret accuracy, but I can barely stand to listen to it for a few reasons. Firstly, there is absolutely no reason to vibrato EVERY note that is an eight or longer. Then in the part where he starts saying "hear temptation" has vibratos and you don't play them. Secondly, that tone is terrible. Try using bridge pickups only and turning the bass down and treble up. Lastly, pick harder. Your notes have no life.
Hey man, I was wondering how you like that Carvin V3. Is it good for like... real tight metal tones? Can you get something close to like an ENGL-esque tone out of it?
Also out of curiosity, how tall are you? That guitar looks huge on you.
@hatecore64 Never played the 1527 so can''t compare them.
But I'm defly confident about the guitar. Feel and plays well and sounds good to me.
The quality is nothing special but still solid. If i were you i'd probably get the RG1527, block the trem and swap the PU's. Thats a great thing for sure ;-)
Be sure to give both a test ride to check if it suits you well.
Hey! Great cover! btw what do you think about the rg7321? I´m thinking about buying it for my first seven string. But i´m not sure yet, everybody says that the low b-string is very muddy and... dry sounding? Is that true? :D
hey LaBre4. I talked to you a long while back about the carvin V3. i ended up buying it (and selling it shortly after :P) but since then ive been putting up a few of my own covers. You should come take a look and tell me what you think!
nice man. the only thing i have to say is when you bend the notes, dont go up and then down. bulb just bends up, he never goes up and then down a few times.
I don't know why people think this is too scooped. I commend you for getting such a good tone out of the V3. Great cover as well man. What was the amp EQ'd to if you remember?
Great job!! Love the sound on your guitar, and you added the solo which I couldn't learn (I'm a n00b).
Constructive criticism: I think there's a note missing each time you play the section which starts (first time around) at 1:04. It's hard to describe it, but watch Cataclysmichael or Bulb's version of that section really closely, and you'll see there's a part where they slide their pinkies to squeeze in an extra note at the end of that pattern.
I read someone's comment and they mentioned your tone being a little scooped, I wanted to say your tone sounded pretty active, basically the same thing. Your pickups sounded like EMG's which seeing as they're not solid black I don't think they are lol. Needs a bit of bass---imo---but other than that, nice cover.
I think someone told me there's too much bass in there.. i don't know exactly.
Actually those are meant to be passive EMG's made by Dimarzio called D-Activator 7. I think the "scoop"-sound is a matter of the amp-box-combination (and setting of course). Used GT75 speakers in that one - know using 2x V30's.
@LaBre4 Yeah, you're bound to hear a lot of different things; but whoever told you there was too much bass was out their mind. Yeah, i can see the magnets on the pickups---the tiny round dot magnets---so i knew they were passive. I think you're correct when you said it was probably your settings and the amp-box combination. I guess there was too much treble, not enough mids.
I'm looking for that treble without having to go active so, i'll have to switch to D-Activators.
@WEISsGEBeter your tone is fine. it sounds like you balanced it well. as far as the amp goes, do you think it has enough gain for those saturated chugs and clear, defined that hear in a lot of metal? I like the sound of the vid, but I'm not sure how accurate it is (youtube = poop). I'm thinking about buying the 50 watt mini once it comes out
@flankerchris7 There's defly enough gain there, but I highly recommend to make well-conceived use of it according to your "chugging-style". I don't know whats meant by "a lot of metal" but the amp is extremely flexible and should suit any style you want to play.
Don't know anything about the new 50 watt mini. Give it a shot once it's there!
@LaBre4 Thanks, that answered my question. By "chugs" I meant the open note rhythms that are popular in a lot of shitty core today. However, I do like that level of distortion and saturation, which explains the comparison.
to the guy with the hate for Spider 3 amps...they aren't bad amps....just depends who is playing them...if Thordendal played a spider 3 I bet every sob out there would want a spider 3...some people don't have the cash to buy 1500 dollar amps(ENGL,MesaDual Rectifiers)... and Line 6 does the job when it comes to low costs...it's also the people just using the presets on the amp too...I make my own
I'm still working on tones and technics, but the bend-story has now been said a dozen times, so i better add some notes in the descriotion mentioning that this is the bendless version of icarus lives ;D
@s1uff1sc001 Try different Cabs. There I'm using a Marshall Cab with GT75 speakers. (And then I used the "preset" recommended by carvin "Modern Heavy", poested the EQ-patch somewhere below).
Loved the cover dude. Could you cover all new materials by periphery? I'd love to hear the clean tone of the d activator 7 pups, and do you like the d act neck pup?
@LaBre4 No probs dude. I just loved this cover from the beginning. That low G# if I'm right sounds tight and not muddy at all. Everything is clear. Do you think the Air Norton 7 would pair up well with the d act bridge?
@LaBre4 Thanks a bunch dude. I'll prolly settle for the d act 7 pair. I've anyways wanted the bridge pup. Please do a review of the pups if you can find the time.
Do you remember your EQ settings? That's some sick tone. I can't get my V3 to sound just right. I'm guessing you boosted the mids and bass, and cut back on treble? That's what it sounds like.
@gibsonfan3 I can't quite remember, but if I'm not totally worng I used the suggested EQ-set "modern high gain" or something like that (which could be found among the manuals)
This sounded great with the cab loaded with GT75 speakers. With V30 it sounded totally different.. more "scratcy"
@LaBre4 yeah sorry that comment seemed really rude now i re-read it! sorry haha. they just need to be exaggerated more and not make such a vibrato (if thats the right word) sound
how is the carvin v3? i've never gotten to play through a carvin head all the local places have mesas, marshalls, peaveys, etc but i'd like some input on these because they're a really good price
i bought it because of it's versatility. Clean sounds amazing(from fender clean to a warm jazzblues tone) and even chunky crunch sounds are there .. and of course enough power ;-)
i got it for a hyperspecial price and didn't regret it thus far, but thats just my experience and my confidence with the tone; i could immagine different opinions; after i read some reviews i bought it without having the possibility to test it. i would say... give it a try! =D
@LaBre4 I also bought it, because i read it had a high output, without testing it. and i definetely dont regret it. my two ibanez prestige have them and they sound even more amazing.

Cool cover. My criticisms (constructive, I hope) would be that your tone is a little too scooped for my liking (but who am I to say, really?)
Also, the little vibrato things you are doing in the main riff instead of just doing a bend sound funny to me.
Just one little bear's opinion. :-D

i'm working on it (but with an acoustic guitar xD)
i'm using some bridge/split options in my video cover of Devin Townsend's "Gato"
it sounds weird in a basswoodbody, but the neck humbucker really sounds awesome either pure clean or as an high gain lead sound
i highly recommend the neck pickup
LaBre4 1 year ago
@LaBre4 No probs dude. I just loved this cover from the beginning. That low G# if I'm right sounds tight and not muddy at all. Everything is clear. Do you think the Air Norton 7 would pair up well with the d act bridge?
zilchdk 1 year ago
@zilchdk Thanks again.
I never used the Air Norton 7 though but i think there would be strong differene between the sound of neck and bridge PU then.
The D-Activator 7 bridge is very powerfull ans sounds gainy itself. The neck-version somehow fits this amount of gain with added warmth.
I think the Air Norton would be much quiter and it would add alot of mids compared to the D-A7-N. It's a matter of taste then.
