Julien Carayon - Testing new guitar - Schecter Omen Extreme 6

[solracnarudb]

excellent and what pedals do u use for this video? sounds great too i love this guitar

[JulienCarayon]

@solracnarudb I use the Carvin V3 for all hi-gain sounds to play riffs only. No pedal here.However, I use my Carvin V3 crunch tone along with a Digitech Bad Monkey pedal in front of the amp to boost the crunch channel. All FX come from My TC G System or Cubase VST plugins

[solracnarudb]

dude great i have the same guitar, wich strings do u use, 0.10? in D or what tunning?

[JulienCarayon]

@solracnarudb Hi! I use 12-56 D'addario strings. C tuning

[onfire4000]

how much did you paid for it? in a scale from 1 to 10 how much would you rate it?

[JulienCarayon]

@onfire4000

-around 350euros as long as I can remember.

-I would rate this guitar 8 out of 10:

Pros: Great neck, nice stock pickups, push/pull switch, looks sexy :D

Cons: There are some small trace of black Permanent marker on the fretboard around a couple of inlays.

[onfire4000]

@JulienCarayon it is better for metal style? or it works good with blues and other types of rock too?

[JulienCarayon]

@onfire4000

- Yes it's a great guitar to play any "right-to-face" music such as rock, metal, progressive metal, djent, death metal, so forth...

- I think is not really suitable play blues even though you can play some nice bluesy licks. Need to change pickup as the stock PU's doesn't sound vintage imo

[onfire4000]

@JulienCarayon ok thank you so much for answering

[onfire4000]

@JulienCarayon I forgot to ask, do you consider this guitar to be a 1st guitar or a more advanced one? like a 2nd perhaps?

[JulienCarayon]

@onfire4000 Good question! You have probably noticed that I use Ibanez guitars mostly.

However, I feel it's time to switch to another guitar manufacturer such as Schecter to give my music a new direction and to play music with a new attitude. That's all about a feeling I have since I own this Omen Extreme 6 guitar. So, I think that this guitar will become my 2nd guitar in the near future. And I plan to use a Hellraiser or Damien guitar as my 1st instrument.

c1 stealth ftw

[andy69fox]

I own this guitar as well. It's a beast. The stock pickups are just amazing, best stock ones I've ever owned.

[tashynskyi]

What amplifier are u using?:)

[JulienCarayon]

@tashynskyi Hi! I use a Carvin V3 amp loaded with JJ6L6GC tubes

[MrRandomBlahhh]

oh and AWESOME playing :) loved it, only criticism as a guitarist myself, some bends didnt hit, but fkin WIN :D

[JulienCarayon]

@MrRandomBlahhh Thank you ;) (which bends? on the riff part or the lead stuff ?)

[givemeajackson]

@JulienCarayon how is the acoustic sound /sustain? i'd put new pickups in if i'd buy that guitar, so i'd like to know if it's a good modding base. it's a wonderfull looking guitar and good woods for the price, and on paper it seems to be perfect for my needs.

[JulienCarayon]

@givemeajackson Hi! The sustain is pretty good. It's a very good modding base, even though the finish is not 100% perfect (e.g such as some fretboard Inlay is a bit off-center) Don't wait any longer, go get one ! ;-)

[givemeajackson]

@JulienCarayon finish doesn't matter a lot, thank you! i'll get one, probably the see-thru black one.

[JulienCarayon]

Thank you for your comments :D

[MrRandomBlahhh]

what interface/program do you use?

[JulienCarayon]

@MrRandomBlahhh Hi! I use an MAudio Fast Track Ultra 8R interface along with Cubase 5

[MrRandomBlahhh]

@JulienCarayon ezdrummer i guess?

[JulienCarayon]

@MrRandomBlahhh I use NI Battery 3 and my very own drum samples based on Tootrack Drumkit From Hell and various samples I gathered across time

[darkjmb04]

Sound different but still awesome ^^

[bladez765]
