Rig Rundown - Dethklok's Brendon Small

[davidt3400]

So many folks bag on the Boss EQ. One of this sickest tones I've ever had was a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL with the Boss 7 band eq at the front and a Decimator after. I think the JCM 2000 TSL is better than the KK 800. The TSL has more balls, gets louder.

[ibanezplayer76]

He seems really chill

[127ibenedict]

bring back Home Movies Brendon!!!



[Englepest]

Its his fault

[ActionReplayMasters]

@premierguitar I see Jordan is a fan of Alabama Thunderpussy

[reGytis]

damn, this man is a genious

[TheCOBdude]

YEEEEEAAAHHHH

[djmm1397]

haha these guys were funny at mayhem about a week ago. all 3 bands before them had this BIG over the top stage setup then dethklok came on with only a marshal stack and other little amps ha but the funnier thing is they were the loudest.

[juku223]

deathclock ?

[DavidRck]

@juku223 DethKlok, a fucking insane band, Brandon Small is also a fucking genius

[Yvo19]

I like his jacket.

[rollthelosingdice]

death clock sucks

[Rhino873]

@rollthelosingdice you suck for a:spelling it wrong and b: for being ignorant.

[headed4thebottom]

@rollthelosingdice You suck dickface.

[945672abc1]

@rollthelosingdice your mom sucks for about 0.50 they suck for about  for about 999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­9.01 dollars

[rollthelosingdice]

@945672abc1 little death metal cartoon fan, how old are you 12?

[racional3rs]

dethklok dethklok dethklok!

you know.. dethklok is the best band ever the world just doesn't know that yet

[DeathProductions123]

he looks very humble infront of that camera... L9323 that's very true

[juneausucks]

this video is awesome. he said huge multi fx processors sound horrible. its true. i learned the hard way that bigger isnt better in that aspect.

[veeragandersucks]

@juneausucks except for axe fx

[zdkezios]

more amps need built in noise gates.

[TheMetalRiffer]

I want that dudes hoodie

ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY!!!!!

[ImSharonWeed2]

pluckety pluckety pluck.

[diabeticmonkey]

Treble's so low.

[L9323]

I like Brendon Small he seems more down to earth than other metal gods meaning he shows his true personality on or off camera unlike others who seem more like "yeah its me from certain band on camera and i need to look badass"

[shellavation]

@L9323 I read your quote in Nathan's voice.

[TheMetalGuy01]

@tehwasabiking lol my mistake then, but still the strings would be tight as hell

[MlkePortnoy]

It's Kevin Spacey!

[mtrondson]

He didn't really seem to be much of a gear head.

[AlienWorkshopxXx]

where can i get thick ass strings? cuz the music shop here has i think 13-54's as their thickest

[MrGuitarhunter]

@AlienWorkshopxXx any internet music store. also you can just mix and match 10s with that 54 that you get at your local shop

[AlienWorkshopxXx]

@MrGuitarhunter well cuz i want some tht go up to like 60's or 70's

[jamesha175]

@AlienWorkshopxXx dude 13's are very thick - they sound awesome but good luck bending up a whole step. i use 11's.

[AlienWorkshopxXx]

@jamesha175 they dnt sound any different.. :/ i want chunky chunky noise

[TheMetalGuy01]

@jamesha175 lol SRV used like 16's and he could bend pretty well, and he played in E standard...

[bobilly]

@TheMetalGuy01 Um, no. SRV used 13s tuned to Eb, which is like using 12s in standard.

[TheMetalGuy01]

@bobilly lol, someone told me that at one point he did use 16's. my bad.

[7246rainmaker]

thats a really deep voice coming from brendon small

[freefighter712]

Brendon likes BIG FAT THICK guitar necks lol

[Pyrokanetis]

I was at this show!

[haropro2]

I'm glad I didn't make the same mistake Brendon, I'm so happy with my Hughes and Kettner 100 Watt Combo Amp and my Jackson Rhoads Guitar, all fairly affordable shit and sounds amazing

[megadv8r]

@haropro2 which rhoads model is it? :)

[haropro2]

@megadv8r RX10D

[skatelaresistance]

"*sigh* i have a lot of gibsons" <3

[StraightJacket65]

hahha he doesnt even look like a guitarist i like that

[DB73093]

Krank is better

[oncetaken]

Dethklok sounds INFINITELY better through the Marshalls.

[KarateMastR57]

@oncetaken I agree with you 100 percent, HUGE tone improvement

[JuglarEuskaldun]

@oncetaken Indeed, definitively to play with distorsion mr.Marshall is our best friend!

[Krow147]

I gotta say, I liked the Dethklok sound better when they used Krank amps. It sounded more smooth.

[Clike666ness]

Wow Dime wah and Digitech whammy.... Those are the effects i was looking at yesterday :0

[darksymphonybass]

i love him

oh i talked to marshal, and i had them send me a kerry king head

hes fucking god

[FollowtheReaper10211]

If he worked at starbucks, that would be a GIANT waste of amazing talent.

[albundie3]

He looks like bill hicks :\

[IIuneXpectedII]

@albundie3 can never unsee that, a little John Cusack too....

[lookingatcrap]

boo its all about rivera dude

[bluesensationist]

fucking 13s lol i thought i was brutal as hell when i went up to 11s

[theoldmacarooni8]

@bluesensationist Skwisgaar: yous gots to have thriteenz gauge stringz for low c.

toki: butz thick gauge stringz hurtz my fingerz!

nathan : but its BRUTAL!!!!!!

[chainsawteddybear]

he talks like he's on drugs.lol. XD

[JohnathenDavis]

@chainsawteddybear He's just stressed from the shows, writing music and stuff for the show. You can even see his eye bags. He is way too inivative to be on anything.

[idangle6]

@JohnathenDavis ha thats just how he looks hes a really chill guy he loves his job he even said it was his dream job it combines his musicianship and his love of comedy whats stressful about that, and dethalbum was the highest ever billboard rating for a death metal album i doubt stress is an issue he just looks like that

[NeoClassShredGod]

yeeeeAh i will lol DETHKLOK FTW

[XxMetalManxX]

What ever happened to Home Movies? That show was funny as shit. lol.

[JerrTheDisturbedOne]

he looks like jeremey piven lol

[CleverNameHere81]

lol this guy is fuckin beast. It's like he just rolled out from under a dumpster in New York.

[Yvo19]

I like his jacket.

[MissGrittyKitty]

Is he ok? He seemed a bit uneasy during the first half of this interview.

[JerkyChid]

13-56 in C? that would be so light to me, I use that for half step down

[DB73093]

thats not light.. You couldnt get a 13 gauge set of strings into Eb. I have 12's in Db. 13's would be C or Bb, with a wound G string or itd be wayyy to thick for a steel.

[JerkyChid]

That's exactly what I said..

[DB73093]

no it isnt

[JerkyChid]

I use 13s in half step down/Eb/E flat/D#/D sharp

It's all the same thing.

How long have you been playing guitar? lol

[DB73093]

5 years. E = standard, Eb = Half step down, D = Full step down. unless you learned something different or are totally oblivious to what strings you play, 13's are way to thick for Eb, Tuners would give out under the pressure.

[JerkyChid]

Same. Apparently I learned that you can call a note by different names and you didn't. You sure you've been playing for 5 years? lol

No they aren't; I've used them in that tuning for a a long while now and my have actually held up better.

[DB73093]

judging by your video of you playing guitar, you have no opinion or any say in this argument. kill yourself.

[JerkyChid]

Ooh sounds like I struck a nerve using knowledge.

Opinion? The only opinion given was that I prefer different gauges than what most use and that you should know more about terms and such due to your 5 years of experience.

Being more knowledgeable on a particular subject gives me plenty of say.

Why? Is teaching punishable by death?

[DB73093]

Struck a nerve? I just tried to prove a point. I understand why you use them now, your retarded, you have a shitty bcrich bolt on that was made with retards in mind to withstand ungodly amounts of string tention due to some tard putting 13's in Eb.. 'You' obviously dont know your shit. what would you use to tune in C? freakin Bass strings?

[JerkyChid]

I'll take that as a yes lmao

14-62s Actually

14-68 for B

[DB73093]

dumb.

[danukenator123]

the jackass doesn't understand personal opinion

[superjesus117]

@JerkyChid Well you both are right in a way. Can you use 13's for Eb? Of course. Is that what most people would consider extremely tense? Yes it is. And I would like to point out that its odd you would use 14-62s for C standard but 13s in Eb as that will cause a very big difference in how the strings feel to you. I know I prefer to have everything feel about the same. Personally I like the feel of 10s in standard so I choose all string gauges to feel the same.

[curshbob]

@JerkyChid were do you buy strings that thick?

[JerkyChid]

@curshbob

D'Addario but many companies make thick strings

[Shivemaster]

@DB73093 well I guess nobody told Dick Dale that you cant choose what string gauge you prefer and that if you play the "wrong" size than you dont know anything, as he plays 18's in standard on strats and hasnt had a problem in what, 40 years?

[danukenator123]

sorry to burst your bubble but Myself and Stevie ray Vaughn used 13 in E standard...so have fun with that miss information and such

[JohnathenDavis]

@JerkyChid Thats as high as they go!!??

[matthewrotherham]

is it me or does he look wasted!?

[JerkyChid]

@matthewrotherham

either that or tired as all hell like after show

[superjesus117]

I don't know about the first tour, but on the Dethalbum II tour he was fucking perfect. Best stage presence anyone could ever have, and still funny as fuck. I never thought I'd see it, but pickles, swisgaar and nathan all had an arguement on stage... coming from only him... it was fucking awesome

[viperf50]

the dude holding the mic sounds kinda like Jason Newsted

[rowger666]

i like dethklok and marshalls but for wut he does he should of stayed with krank thay sound more clear and chugy than marshall and he shouldnt of digitaly inhansed his voce its not as gutteral anymore

[SuspendedinShadows12]

he didn't digitally enhance it, he just changed his voice a bit for the second one to make it sound more "aggresive"

[Vomitore]

Krank's are crap. Marshall is metal.

[DB73093]

lol that sure shows your knowledge of amps.

[superjesus117]

Kranks sound just like peaveys, but more expensive. And the Marshalls work great for dethklok, I saw the tour, and I think the new recordings are being done with them.

[dannychainsawhands]

He always gives really good tips. It would be cool if he would do an instructional sometime in the future.

[headed4thebottom]

He looks fuckin' tired... haha he needs a break.

[touchcoma]

NOOOO ALL HE NEEDS IS METAAAAAAAAALLLLLL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!.......and maybe a nap :-P

[JohnathenDavis]

So Small's not using EMGs anymore?

[metalguy625]

He still does, just on select guitars

[deviltriggerinc]

he says he doesn't use this phaser on the new record...that could be true, but, its a lie to say he doesn't use one at all...most of his solos on Dethalbum II implement alot of phaser and noises...

[LwPsMusic]

well it could be his reverb or something else i dont have have a phaser and i get the same exact sound of the leads

[Bigdeezy74]

Maybe he forgot  lol.

[BrandoNelly]

his normal voice is definately not BRUTAL!!! but in his show and rock shows he is the most BRUTAL thing i have ever heard. DETHKLOK DETHKLOK DETHKLOK DETHKLOK!!!!!

[headed4thebottom]

Who cares if his normal voice isn't brutal?? HE most definately is!

[crapslap123]

4666th view \m/

[king666nothing]

Kerry King head??? I thought he played Krank amps.

[Griffith101]

Yeah the new season has all Marshalls in the backgrounds not kranks.Obviously changed endorsements.

[king666nothing]

@Griffith101 I hope he keeps the Gibson endorsement. )))) I've even heard they were gonna make his signature model of Gibson. It's probably gonna be Explorer.

[Maltozombie1123]

@king666nothing

Brendon used the Kerry King head live, and the rhythm player still uses one of the Krankensteins, still some of the old and the new too, they did at the atlanta show anyway.

[DB73093]

Lol he downgraded to marshall because they offered him more money.. krank > marshall.

[liniculus]

huh, I actually learned a bit from Bredon. I got to get me a Rivera thing, and a Dime wah.

DETHKLOK RULEZ!!!! \m/ XO \m/

[JerkyChid]

Don't forget the GLab wah pad so you don't have to stomp on it all the time

[AlmostOuttaHellview]

The metal god that dresses like a hobo....still a metal god though....

[erinshunny]

@AlmostOuttaHellview

The metal godhas no need for fancy clothes my friend, merely a (non-grampas) guitar to rock.

[1joel8]

hobos are brutal

[REALCougarsRmales]

@1joel8 lma freaken o

[TEHBR00TZ]

Brendon Small is a metal god, no joke.

I saw Dethklok last week - KILLER show.

I hope to meet him and jam with him one day!

[ibanezxiphos700]

lol i thought he switched to marshall cause theyre on the show instead of krank

[XXAnimalisticXX]

@ibanezxiphos700 ..... Metalocalpyse the show has Krank amps through out the mordhouse.

[ibanezxiphos700]

look on season 3... brendan uses marshall now

[joed424]

they updated them w/ marshalls this season

[DB73093]

you mean downgraded

[BMNicolas]

I wish Dethklok would come to Sweden.

[vjr1113]

Finally! a dethklok amp setting

[DB73093]

You wont get that sound with those settings.

[hyperdude16]

COME TO ENGLAND he is just a awesome guitarist \m/

[xCYNICOUTCASTx]

sure hope you didnt skip Kurt Ballou of Converge....

[halfacat1]

he's such a cool and personable guy

[combr]

CooL NOW IT COMES WITH AUDIO YESS
