Hi there guys!
This is my first posting on this forums and I'd like to start with something that I hope can help me out discovering my own sound. I'd also like to try exchanging some ideas and concepts about effects.
My main reference will be this guy:
For those who already know him it is needless to say he was a Charvel slinger on his day and he could shred with the best of them. For those who don't know Criss Oliva I think you are missing out on something, so feel free to check him out.
But I'm not here to talk about his gear as it was already discussed alot around the internet. What I'd like to hear from everyone interested in this thread is their opinion about the 80's heavy metal era's effects and sounding for guitar.
Basically what kind of effects were more used back in the day?
Wich current brand/models can give you the best response if you are trying to achieve a sound reminiscent of the 80's?
And of course, wich effects would I need to use if I would want to sound like Criss from the Sirens to Hall Of The Mountain King era? What models are currently the best to achieve that also? Sure there's a lot of delay and reverb, but how can I get it to sound like that? Very heavy and dark but at the same time very clear and perceptive.
I hate the modern sounding "metal" (I can't call it heavy metal), and living in a country were there was almost no heavy metal during the 80's, it's really hard to get the knowledge from older guys that were part of the scene back then. I hope some of the older people around here can help me out with their experience.
I will try to delevop this theme a little bit more. But now I'd like to hear the opinions of anyone who's interested on contributing.
