Kill 'Em All Tone

[feral mesa]

use the crunch channel on ur amp and the to800

[ocean parcel]

Crunch? And take the OD off

?

[feral mesa]

yea

[ocean parcel]

Is there an option to use the od as well (plsplspspls)

[feral mesa]

the eq should ve in a slight v shape

the to800 is an od pedal u dont need to use both

[ocean parcel]

yeah I know but I use the OD as a distortion

and the to800 as a boost

[feral mesa]

kill em all is a jcm 800 and a tube screamer

u want ur bass on 7 mids 3-4 and trebble 9

the to800 is atube screamer clone

[ocean parcel]

I guess imma remove the OD300, but im asking again is there an option to keep it there...

[feral mesa]

you dont have to take it off ur board just turn it off

[ocean parcel]

oh right xD

so the OD300 wont wash right

[feral mesa]

if it is off it doesnt affect the tone any ur signal just goes through it but doesnt change

[ocean parcel]

yeah yeah I know, im familiar with pedals its just that I cant shape the tone well ykwim xd

okay do TO800 settings, EQ should be V shapy

[feral mesa]

a slight v

[ocean parcel]

on the amp with crunch channel bass 7. mids 3-4 and treble 9

[ocean parcel]

ookay gon try it

1 min pelase

please

sounds okay but its not cutting and sharp enough

[feral mesa]

u can try the od 1 channel but back off the gain alil

[ocean parcel]

uuh

my to800 settings are drive almost at 0, tone 5-6 and level 10

might be the drive?

[feral mesa]

i ment back off gain on the amp itself

but yea u can back off the level abit and raise the drive slightly

on crunch

[ocean parcel]

can i send a demo

[feral mesa]

yea

[ocean parcel]

ignore my shitty playing i just recorded it fast

[feral mesa]

increase the drive on and back off the presence on the to 800

[ocean parcel]

I dont have prescense on any of my gear xd

[feral mesa]

level

[ocean parcel]

oh

[feral mesa]

rn it isnt doing much in terms of the gain staging

[ocean parcel]

sounds a bit better but still it needs more sharp, cutting ykwim

[ocean parcel]

hm?

[feral mesa]

set the drive to high try 7-8

the tube screamer adds gain to the sound to push the od sound with the gain on 0 on it it isnt doing much

[ocean parcel]

still sounds kinda the same

ooh

[feral mesa]

drive is what i ment

i dont remember the exact name of all the knobs on every gear off the top of my head

different gear uses different names fo the same thing

[ocean parcel]

oh

my drive on the to800 is 9

maybe lower the level?

[feral mesa]

amp gain should be at 8 and the to800 drive should also be at like 8

then lower the level of it abit

the level is abit of a volume and abit to fine tune the pedal to how much it pushes the amp

[ocean parcel]

got it

amp gain at 8

to800 gain at 8

[feral mesa]

yea

[ocean parcel]

to800 level at 3-4

[feral mesa]

u might have to tweak that abit but start there

[ocean parcel]

ookay, what abotu the eq

do I fine tune it there

[feral mesa]

slight v pattern

scoop the mids and boost the lows and highs slightly

[ocean parcel]

did that

well

lowered the level of the to800

but it still lacks something

[feral mesa]

let me hear

[ocean parcel]

1 sec

[feral mesa]

do u know how to play 4 horsemen?

[ocean parcel]

uuh no I tried learning it, its kinda difficult for me

[feral mesa]

what about seek and destroy

[ocean parcel]

I kinda know it

[feral mesa]

can u post a clip of that

[ocean parcel]

the pre chorus

okay

1 sec please

[feral mesa]

switch to od 1 channel everything same settings but amp gain on 3

then post a clipp of kill em all again

[ocean parcel]

it sounds about the same on od1

[feral mesa]

let me hear

[ocean parcel]

again pls ignore my shitty playing idk wtf is goin on

[feral mesa]

i ment seek and destroy

[ocean parcel]

oh

[feral mesa]

when i was dialing in my amp i used 4 horsemen for this tone

on an mg30hgfx

[ocean parcel]

I cant sadly play it

[feral mesa]

ik seek and destroy better than i know whiplash so it helps to hear that

[ocean parcel]

let me record

1 sec

[feral mesa]

add some studio reverb

just a small ammount

go gain to about 6 on the amp

5-6

[ocean parcel]

still sounds kinda the asme

same

[feral mesa]

are u on bridge pickup only on the guitar

[ocean parcel]

yes

tone 10

[feral mesa]

bring the mids on the amp up 1-2 numbers

[ocean parcel]

still kinda the same

[feral mesa]

turn the channel volume of the amp up

[ocean parcel]

its 10

[feral mesa]

ok then bring it down to like 8 then adjust the master volume

[ocean parcel]

almost no difference

btw sorry if Im annoying or something just

trying to shape it

[feral mesa]

also post a pic of eq pedal settings

shift everything except level up 1 notch

[ocean parcel]

Done

the difference is that it kind of peaks

it clips

[feral mesa]

post a clip of seek and destroy

bring the 3.2 and 6 k down .5 -1 notch

and post the clip again

[ocean parcel]

ay man if I take a lot of time u dont have to suffer yk xd

its just that I also gotta go in a sec thats why

[feral mesa]

switch over to spring reverb

[ocean parcel]

not much of a difference

[feral mesa]

ur current settings do have the tone

the playing isnt quite as tight and it was double tracked for the recordings

[ocean parcel]

yeah

[feral mesa]

u could also try and dial in the tone for the od part of fade to black and play witht that

even though it was on RTL it does still carry a similar tone

[ocean parcel]

fuck

well imma try that man, thank you for you time , patience and everything

I got the base

I will just fine it

thank you a lot man

[feral mesa]

save it b4 u change everything so u can always go back to it

[ocean parcel]

will do

tho, any tips for the tightness?

except the fade t oblack one

[feral mesa]

that is mostly in the playing style

also check out the nux plexi crunch pedal

u would have to use it on clean bc it is a whole pre amp but it makes getting the tone alot easier

[ocean parcel]

will do man, thank you

have a great one and thank you once again for all
