Death - Spirit Crusher

Been trying to get some other cool metal tones out of my amp.

I'm using Chuck's tone from the SoP album as a foundation, using a full tube amp.

Framus Dragon boosted with a TS-808 is the gear.

I make a few mistakes, but I'm just tone hunting!

Sounded pretty good man!
I couldn't quite tell, but it looks like you have an X2N in there. I know Chuck used that pup exclusively and it's one of the keys to his tone.
So far so good, VHT

[JacksonVHT]

Yeah, I put the X2N in a few weeks ago.

Decided to drop a full step and get my Chuck on!

Thanks for the comment!

I love Chuck's latter tones a lot, but I know that his amps had a solid state power section so I'm trying to get that growling mean tone with that all tube sound.

Oh, you were in D there? Well I cant really hear that stuff on my laptop speakers
I like his latest work as well, especially the Control Denied album with Tim Aymar.
Tim is one of my fav singers. I have all of his stuff. He was sort of local where I'm at.

[JacksonVHT]

Yeah, I was in the album tuning!

I'm going to give Tim a listen some more, wasn't he in Pharoah?

[metalchurch79]

Yea he was. They have a new album out, but I didnt get that one yet.
If interested pm me your address and i'll make you copies of all of his stuff if you want them.

I'm moving back to NY really soon, I'll toss you over my addy when I find a place!

Thanks man.

[metalchurch79]

No prob!
Kinda hijacked this thread huh?

Death rules! There back on track!

Sounds to me like you pretty much nailed the tone. Chuck was the real deal. I also went to D tuning recently just to take a break and it's been pretty fun. I've been using 9s but should probably be using a set of 10s. The 9s are a little "slappy".

[JacksonVHT]

Thanks Danno!

I too am having fun in D.

Been playing a lot of stuff I love to listen to that's been challenging me a lot.

Bodom is real fun to play.

Hard to tell with the background music... Seems cool...

Of course ironic that you're using a $1300 amp to mimic a $250 Marshall VS...

Not mimic! Foundation! :idea:

I love that tone.
