Low F# riffage (w/POD2.0)

[androidophanium]

this was good, the only critique i have is some of the timing seemed a little off.

[AaronWelchMusic]

May I ask how you get so much djenty goodness from a POD 2.0?

[kodoku42]

@AaronWelchMusic not with pod 2.0 by itself, I used heavy equing in post-production (vst). Maybe if you used an graphic eq pedal or rack unit you could increase the djent factor of the pod

[aL3ks06]

What program is this mangs?

[DTProt]

very meshuggah. very righteous.

[jonithedrummer]

i feel like listening to meshuggah :D

[Gnoorf]

Awesomeness

[arnold1243]

hi there, very nice!, which gauge for the low F#?

[chernobit]

Really sounds great!

suena muy bien tus temas.

[Otium83]

really inspiring in a heavy way

[XDearxxDiaryX]

do you use in thing other than the pod? like a DI or something or is it just the pod via USB?

[kodoku42]

Nowadays I use pod studio gx w/ pod farm via usb. In this session I plugged my pod 2.0 straight into the line input of my soundcard.

[hideki12345]

love this man doesnt get boring at all

have you already tried to put a tubescreamer in front of the amp?(in the pod i mean) maybe that would sound more djenty. ivetried it once and it sounded really meshuggahish

cheers buddy

[kodoku42]

No I haven't, at least with a physical pod. Check my new vid (the pod farm thing). There I use a screamer :)

[MrMan7861]

just imagine a 8 string strat

[nazho1111111111111]

that sound with a strat!??? wow

amazing

[TheRaizen33]

Its fucking bad ass dude!

[mitch1234567890]

awesome dude.

what guitar do you use

[kodoku42]

A Fender Strat for this piece.

[SHRED601]

a fender strat in F# dude?  damn. must have had some intense tension man

[periphery09]

@kodoku42 u used a fender strat? lol

[kodoku42]

@periphery09 yep, a US fender strat, with dimarzio humbuckers though...

[clarkshapedbox]

@kodoku42 Strats and fender guitars in general have incredible tone for this kinda djenty stuff. A lot of people wouldn't think so at first.

[rasberrysauce]

@kodoku42 Wtf? O_o What gauge string set are you using?

[RAASUW]

@kodoku42 can you send me a picture cuz it sounds like a cool guitar

[EnorusLoL]

Awesome.

[colelocurto]

awsome dude i love the style

[submuloc76]

this is fucking awesome. i do stuff pretty similar to this with my pro tools set up.

[metalocalypse1010]

Fucking A, the tone is perfect.

[fbartek]

i didnt like it that much

[shybooz]

What software do you use to record?

[kodoku42]

Cakewalk Sonar 7

[Neumetall]

This is nice, but the solo is played a bit too hectically.

[mathiusvoodoo]

If anyone whants too play like meshuggah then practice your ass off. THis dude here has done it. A little more simplified but still cool. Learn some frekrik style lead for next time. I'd recommend looking up the jazz musians on you-tube and "The Dillinger Escape PLan's" Lead axman. Rock on!

[AkakiosBand]

sick riffage ;) lovin your tone. i've had my pod v2 for about 3 months and i'm still fiddling with the tone. cant seem to find one that i really like

[JonnyZywiciel]

thats really cool man good work.

[anorexorcist1214]

that sounded evil. well done =]

[consumingtheeyeballs]

That sounds exactly like Meshuggah, man. Awesome stuff!

[defection]

thats amazin man. serious .

[StevenGlasl]

amazing. if this just randomly popped on in a friends car i would think it was some sort of new meshuggah song i have never heard

[itscurbe]

listen to periphery.

[kodoku42]

Yeah, that's some killer music.

[krimba4]

sick band

[TheForeteller]

Do you use a pitch shifting effect????

since you recorded with a strat.

[kodoku42]

No. It's really tuned down.

[evilcartman555]

nice dude i tuned my tele down that low once. it was wierd. you deserve an 8 string

[ZeeKat]

Hah, POD 2.0 can be little obsolete, but still kicks major arse. Great sounds you have there. Can I ask about about amp models and eq/effect settings?

[kodoku42]

I recall I used the modern higain setting (which is a Soldano someting) with mids around 80%, bass around 50% and treble somewhere in between. Also used some compressor while recording. And of course some eq effects after recording. Oh, and of course I recorded two rhythms. That's about it :D

[AlucardXIX]

Holy shit dude...do you have a 33? Or is that just a really really fast tremolo effect on that one lick?

[kodoku42]

I wish :D That's just a really fast tremolo effect

[ratm1989]

a forgot to ask what strings do u use ?

[kodoku42]

they are D'addario .011 gauge strings on that guitar. Although in this I use that gauge, I recommend to try thicker strings and maybe a baritone (27" scale) guitar for tunings this low.

[ratm1989]

thanks a lot dude, much appreciated, youve nailed the cool meshuggah style of playing keep uploadin the vids ;)

[ratm1989]

this sounds awesome man, what tunning is your guitar in?

[kodoku42]

Thanks for your compliment. The tuning.. well the top 3 strings don't really matter. The lower 3 instead.. 6th is F#, 5th C# and 4th F#. So it's kind of a "drop-F#" if you will :D

The funny thing is that the guitar is a strat type guitar with normal 25.5" scale and the strings are .011 gauge. You can make your own conclusions of that, I think it's somewhat working formula

[WebsterA]

AWESOME

[Nebulous1982]

Awesome sounds , not so good music.

[homLe]

Man this kicks fucking ass. Make CDs with this and at least il buy em^^. What kind of software do you use to program the drums?

[kodoku42]

Thanks :) The program seen here is called Cakewalk Sonar 4.0. The drums are created with Toontrack EZdrummer plugin with Drumkit From Hell -expansion pack.
