Guitar cover of Textures - Awake from their Silhouettes album.

ESP LTD SC607B (27in)
Lundgren M7 in the bridge. No pickup in the neck, so there's just an empty cavity. Thinking of a Q-Tuner.

Tone is from Revalver MKIII. Patch is uber simple. Stock tube screamer with tone up a little and a tiny amount of drive (0.2) into a tweaked regular 6505. Tweaks are simple: increased input voltage into first preamp stage, switched out the last poweramp tube for an EL34, and changed the power supply to 'ideal power supply'. This is all loaded up in Logic Pro 8 and I used Space Designer to load up a cab impulse instead of within Revalver itself. Impulse is Red Wirez Marshall 1960A G12M with SM57. I also stuck on a LPF filter to roll of the high-end shrillness. This is a free plugin called Elysia Niveau. Check it out, it sounds really nice.

I'm aware of some sloppiness in the middle section where I'm not changing chords at the right time, I'll work on that. Everything else is perfect in every possible way. =P

Video was recorded using my Macbook's iSight camera, and the framerate sucks so it makes it seem like audio and video are out of sync or misaligned. I uploaded the video with lossless audio rather than have YouTube re-encode lossy audio into even more lossy audio, which sounds terrible. The audio quality has still suffered quite badly in my opinion.

Enjoy. :)

  • do you mind posting the exact settings of your revalver settings? this sounds so sick dude!

  • Hey man, nice song choice. Gotta love textures. How does the Lundgren pickup feel/sound? I can not decide whether to get an m7 or a bareknuckle pu.

  • Did you learn by ear? Did you improvise the beginning at all? It sounds awesome dude!

  • really good dude lml

    maybe a Future breed machine of meshuggah ? really a good song for a cover lml

  • wow very nice cover man I love this song! Ok so how did you get everything to sound so good? what did you use?

  • Very nice cover. And for once somebody took the effort to make a guitar video without sh!tty sound quality.
