In The Presence of Enemies Melody Rudess Effect

[darthmaul666]

GFX 4!!! I've been using that shit for the longest time!!! since 2002!!! neva had enough money to buy another multi fx...was forced into deeply understanding the unit...& guess wat? its still working like the day i bought it during a christmas sale @ half price!!! its dat rugged!!! & yea, like u said, spend enough time on it & u'll be amazed by wat ppl say about how good it sounds compared to the latest multis. & dat goes for other equipments too. Its neva the equipment, its the man behind it...

[DrDeathRNMD98]

you only used the zoom gfx4 pedal?!!?

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Love that tune.

[exprofesonano]

this is a zoom gfx-4 ??????

[aytch4687]

Yea man. That thing is amazing if you spend enough time on it.

[frizzle16]

Really nice job. I really enjoyed how you used the whammy effect, too -- it made it your own

[aytch4687]

Thanks man!

[badrucci1]

Fuck man...NICE!!! 5 stars as usual!!!

[atokombeled]

This guitar looks so nice,and its sound

is great too,but as I know,your

vids are the only ones featuring it.

I can't see,why it's not a popular guitar...

Don't you plan making a low end sred vid too,to see,how it's dealing with it?

Oh,and nice playing of course :D

[aytch4687]

This guitar is my favorite out of the ones I've owned before. It's very comfortable and the bridge action is very customizable so you can really make it play just the way you want to.

Plus it sounds insane right out of the box, and if you know how to set up some nice distortions and effects you'd really get the sounds you'd like!

I hopefully will have one or two shred videos to come up although I do not consider myself much of a big thing in that field!

Thanks for the nice comment!!

[atokombeled]

Thanks for the info! :) I'm looking forward to see what this guitar can do in the 'lo zone' :)

Keep it up!

[aytch4687]

So you want a low octave shred video? Just to be sure I don't make a video of the wrong thing hehe

[atokombeled]

Something low and brutal...as Beavis and

Butthead would put it:dam-dammmm-da-dammm :D :D

[artestra]

I think its quite a classy mature guitar (no whammy or monkey grips) - I'm glad its not popular and I actually ordered one :))

[aytch4687]

Yea..The other version has a whammy bar and that comes in hand but I think owning a guitar without a whammy bar teaches you to improve your natural hand vibrato!

Let me know what you think when you get it!!! You made the very right choice!

[artestra]

You're right. I think I saw the one with the whammy. I didn't look right in my opinion.

Sure I'll let you know especially since you're the first person I've ever seen with one :))

Rock on, bro

[artestra]

my ajd artcore came today :)) its beautiful. i love the fret inlay and the small head stock. its got more gold hardware than a saxophone :)) the stock pickups are pretty good im surprised at the sustain and pinch harmonics are easy. the action is a little stiff and high but that can be fixed... :)

[aytch4687]

Congrats!!! I had the same problem with mine when i first got it, but play around with the action its extremely easy to fix...it took me a couple of months to get the action that best suited me..this guitar has endless possibilities!

And the pick ups are great indeed! What's the rest of your gear? Effects and stuff?

Congrats again and enjoy it!

[artestra]

Thanks! Ive got Boss delay/phaser/superoverdrive pedals and a marshall 30watt amp' with dirty channel and reverb.

I dont have pre-amp or multi effect processor pedals

Any advice you have to achieve satriani/halen/petrucci type tones would be appreciated
