Building Chuck Schuldiner's Death Tone

[@Metalhead0283]

You forgot one thing that’s key to that tone, it’s the bird

[@infinidominion]

He did engage Dual Aerial Brethren

[@AndyIntharaphithak]

And bare feet 😅

[@PaladinStallion]

I like how you're more about crunch & clarity instead of overly distorted tones.

[@rdmoonie]

aussie metal legend!

[@hotwax5623]

MORE CHUCK/DEATH TONES! love the new format of the tone capturing videos!!

[@mozartpinheiro6159]

Dude,you not know how i'm happy in watch this video, because I'm fan of Death, and I ever search a way to play death with effect pedals, in my country a valve amp these is very extremely expensive for my condition. nice video man thank you so much.

[@wootks]

Luckily Chuck mostly used amps that were pretty much solid state a lot of the time. No tube amp required really! You can find clones of the pedals Lambchopper uses for an even lower price if you have access to Joyo and Behringer pedals locally or online. Check out the Joyo jf-04 that is a clone of the Marshall Shredmaster. Which is sorta like a Valvestate preamp. Combine that with a boost pedal of some sort. Also the Mooer Ultra Drive is like a modded DS-1.

[@mozartpinheiro6159]

@@wootks Thanks you so much for the answer and by help me

[@wootks]

@@mozartpinheiro6159 just remembered, if you can get the Tonex One in your market it is fantastic for the money. You can load a 8100 or similar amp profile and get really accurate tones.

[@davidp7833]

I skated more of those vallely decks than any other decks back in the day. I loved Caballeros too. RIP Chuck

[@Thrashdoom]

It's a pleasure see your vids, you decompose the sound and hit in the tone. You're a reference for me and many people.

[@thrashnbash314]

Loved the video and who doesn't love Chuck's tone? Glad to see you are doing better and definitely a proud dad moment!!

[@seansturm9593]

You are awesome, dude! I haven’t played guitar in 20 years and came across your And Justice For All tone video. It inspired me to pick guitar back up again. Boss katana and shredder in hand now and having a blast messing around with the different tones and learning riffs. Keep ‘em coming🤘 Cheers from California.

[@barry3045]

Sounds killer , as always 🔥🤘🏼

[@studyingpain1590]

Just real quick, wanted to say thanks for all your work and for what I've learned from your videos. It's an inspiration to play more which becomes harder when you have lots of kids. You made a video a year or two ago where you mentioned being an introvert and getting anxiety in front of the camera, which I think is awesome. One of the problems with the world today is too many extroverts. Anyway, keep doing what you do man, and God bless you and your family.

[@ovelovschal]

Love the format, and hearing your thought process as you take us through the steps. Keep 'em coming! On the family note; I took my son to Metallica M72 tour in Copenhagen earlier this year, and like you, it's something I have been working on for years. :-D

[@johnwardle9667]

My spirit is feeling well and truly crushed by the accuracy of these tones and the quality of the playing. Absolutely nailed it my man!

[@VeryCreativeName405]

Sounds awesome.

[@thedddemon]

On Scream Bloody Gore his set up was DS-1 into JCM800. If you listen with headphones you can hear the nasty pick attack of the DS-1 throughout. It works.

[@LambChopper678]

I've read that but I can't get a single good sound out of the DS1 without running it behind the SD1

[@AlexRamosDrTaz]

@@LambChopper678 Sure, but that's kind of the point. It's not like a lot of the modern, more refined death metal tones, that's why it's nasty! Combine that with Chuck's choice of using the DiMarzio X2N pickup, that with the DS-1 just obliterates the 800's preamp.

[@Cam-uv5sc]

I remember finding this and commenting a list of everything from amps and effects to EQ settings (that we know for certain) were used on all of the earlier tones a few months ago. I would love to hear those tones considering he's got exactly what was used.

[@spitfirex2599]

Amazing video mate, I like the refreshing new style of video and I think it will help loads of people learn their own amps better.

[@Zooooman]

Sounds like an epic family trip!

Can’t tell if I like this Chuck tone or the one you did with the actual Amplifier they’re both pretty awesome

[@mountkarate-nunchucka]

Side note: ive got your katana settings for master puppets for the katana loaded (with a few tweaks to suit) and i throw a sd1 in front of it for instant pantera tones, works a treat. And thank you. Probs could have revisited ur master vid for katana to drop this comment...

[@Antron89]

Great video!

[@gavendelrio9193]

[@LambChopper678]

I used to sell and trade anything that wasn't my favourite and regret many things I parted with. I decided to become a hoarder 😅

[@MasterEffectsPedals]

@@LambChopper678 This is the way.

[@Burly1995]

Love this tone. I regret selling my VS100. I loved the tone out of it with no pedals. LambChopper, can you do a Havok - Time is up album tone? Such a rad album from a thrash band. If possible can you use your SC100 so I can try and match it? Thanks dude

[@nicolasaraistrujak208]

the final cut made it perfect to the intro of your 8100 video. I think that if you tried the SD1 into a Metalzone and 10 Band EQ into a IR loader would be contento for another video for cheaper

[@peversole90]

Awesome video! something is ringing out. either the springs or the strings behind the nut.

[@LambChopper678]

Sorry I haven't done anything to quiet it down yet. I'm still pinching myself that Dean Guitars is letting me keep it :)

[@Mishgun2K-ug5vu]

@LambChopper could you do a video on your Amp/cabinets some day ? For a beginner like myself i see 3 heads stacked but what are they connected to ?

[@LambChopper678]

I did a room tour maybe a year ago which shows how I set it all up. I only run them one at a time and have a lot of labeled cables running to the captor x. I swap them over like a telephone switch board to run each amp

[@christhegeekbowman]

Nothing says "METAL!" like a bird pooping on the floor. 😂

Chuck played his guitars straight through a Marshall Valvestate 8100 for anybody who wants to have the same gear. They're pretty affordable actually.

[@stallionproductions666]

Hey! Good Video as always. Thank you! BTW I think your Floyd Springs are ringing quite loud ;)

[@_ProTrax]

Mine also do this in a guitar with Black Winters, any tips to get rid of it?

[@stallionproductions666]

@@_ProTrax Hey! I cut stripes of foam which fit into the springs. I use paperclips to pull them through. So the springs can move freely with out the ringing tone. This is better than putting a paper hankerchief under the strings of something. Greets

[@LambChopper678]

It's all hushed now sorry, all my old guitars have foam in the springs and heat shrink up from the nut. I hadn't got to this one yet

[@littledittymusic727]

I think I found almost Chuck tone using ToneLib-Metal .

[@motygaming2431]

hey lambchopper, you should really try a helix. i wanna see what tones u can get from it

[@earthhuman5448]

How do you account for all the post processing done in studio? Doesn't that leave the album sounding like something that would never come out of an amp?

[@TheMasonator777]

The Dimarzio X2N is big part of it. I find that transducers play a big part. Pickup, speakers.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Michael Romeo also uses the X2N.

[@aimansyahmiaimanharyadi6386]

[@AdamRobertshaw]

That guitar really needs some tape up the top to stop that very loud pingy ring going on!

How to make your tube amp sound like a line 6 spider!

[@rutger4131]

Great vid! BUT...That nasty high end ringing after the chugs. Either dampen those trem springs or the strings just behind the nut (or both) would improve my listening experience greatly.

Marshall 8100.thats all. How did you not know that

[@Patrick-857]

He mentioned it, and has done a video with one. If you're new here, this guy's videos are all about taking the gear you have and dialing the tone you want. He gets very close to tones on classic metal records with gear that's nothing like what was used. It's important to remember that the guys using 8100s in the 90s were using them because they were cheap, and they dialed the tone they wanted with what they had. Nowadays people obsess over the specific gear used, rather than understanding that it's not the gear, it's the player, and how they use the gear.

[@HAHb-zc2dp]

@@Patrick-857 dear child. I Own a recording studio. If you think you can get an 8100 tone from like a mesa or something you're simply not a musician and have zero clue about gear. Please peddle your bs somewhere else.
