Capturing Megadeth's - The Sick, The Dying... And the Dead Guitar Tone (EVH 5150iii 50w)

[@jeffreyschroder8004]

The King of Tone Capturing 🙌 😎🤘

[@redneckreviews9300]

The absolute king

[@noodlehair6566]

You, sir, are a living breathing kemper lol. Your "capturing" videos are always spot on and a joy to watch.

[@rezner101]

Killer tone, killer playing and a killer album. Thanks for this.

[@lapinus]

0:34 This riff is just too fucking amazing. It gives me incredible chills and it is just an explosion of emotion. Great video Lamb

[@metalhammer5]

Only Dave could write such a riff!

[@acutemadness]

dave is taking back his arrangements just like arch enemy is taking back their soul

[@imacashew.]

It’s a killer album in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoy listening to it. Keep kicking ass Lambchopper .

[@sabbath931]

I love when he uses the 5150 I have the exact one sitting right beside me makes life so easy

[@kuruptmetalhead2739]

Same.. I have that and dsl20.. makes it great to get same tones always killing it

[@MakeTheMusic]

I don't understand all the hate for Mission to Mars. Reminds of something on SFSGSW, while the chorus riff sounds like something off CTE. Excellent job with the tone. This new album was a great marriage between early era Megadeth and modern production. For making albums for 40 years, it was an amazing achievement!

[@kurzackd]

well, where is that "hate" exactly? I have only read and heard extreme praise for the song. And why should it be otherwise, considering how badass it is? :) The only thing I've seen that comes close to "disapproval" (although it's NOT really...) is people expressing wonder at what exactly makes it so likable to them. btw, here's what the song should REALLY remind you of: The verse riff is an almost direct ripoff of the verse riff of The Offspring's song Smash (from the same-titled album). And, man, what a badass song that one is also! :) The intro jingles are an allusion to Another Way to Die -- the main Soundtrack song to the 007 film from 2008 -- Quantum of Solace. The frantic outro riffage is, of course, a reference to Metallica's One. Hope that clears it up! :)

[@drewwesley9506]

Mustaine's at his best when he injects theatrical fun in songs like Mission to Mars, Sweating Bullets, and Captive Honour.

[@josephkunath4173]

I love it. Dave wrote it for Elon Musk.

[@yzettasmith4194]

Hearing you recapture the riffs makes me appreciate the songs more. Thank you so much for what you do!

[@music-84]

I just noticed you're back!!? Fuk yea! 🤘🤘

[@cnelly4582]

You play their riffs incredibly cleanly, wow man.

[@tynanmcneely9173]

This is such a great album. The best in years!

[@farkenfigjam8732]

I had high hopes for the album when We'll Be Back was released, and boy did it not disappoint! It's one of if not the best Megadeth album imo and my personal favourite. With the guitar tone I also don't believe it's Dave's normal set up let alone a Marshall. While I think the tone is a little "stale" sounding, it's probably Dave's best tone imo. It combines so many of my favourite aspects of his older tones and it just makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to. Some people like to shit talk about Mission To Mars saying it's "cheesy" and "weak" but I personally love the song. It may not be as strong as the other songs on the album, but it definitely has a character to it and as a sci-fi and astronomy fan it's very entertaining to listen to.

[@kolossalkok8776]

His tone around 2008 with the jvm 410h is pretty hard to beat

[@RafaelCDet]

the tone is likely from a neural dsp quad cortex. Kiko got Dave acquainted with those. And imo i don't find the tone stale at all, i particularly enjoy how it sounds relatively modern and crunchy but still very distinct from the generic boosted 5150/jcm 800 tone that has dominated every big budget metal and hardcore record since 1993.

[@espmet]

Love to hear Junkie. Fantastic song

[@Juicexlx]

Oh, wow! I'm getting my special request. Thank you very much. Radical stuff!!! Love it! ❤

[@jacktodd3439]

Oh yea thx for playing Mission to Mars, I love that song it is pure old school 80s Mustaine shredding killer riff, echo of My last words which is my fav Megadeth song.

[@AkPurustry789]

Great playing as usual.. Mission to mars is my favourite.. new album is full of fun riffs ..

[@SpookyApparition]

the bridge into the solo from the title track is my favorite part of the album, and your version of it sounds even better! awesome video man

[@oscarostman9341]

@lambchopper I seriously cannot thank you enough for this video! I've waited since the day they released Well be back for a tone tutorial!

[@oliverdahlberg838]

Same. You can see my reply to his comment on that music video lol

[@elchapo4200]

Back at again with the tunes! Im in love with it

[@DrTruckster]

That has to be one of the best tones I've heard! Well done!

[@TheRealChetManley]

Love the new album, just found your channel today. Dude you nail that tone and those riffs.

[@tedhetfieldakapatrickdonat92]

The MASTER is Back ❤

[@saulcarranza7984]

No mention of how BEAST of a song "Nightstalkers" is cx haha Glad we can all agree this album is fucking awesome!! Great video.

[@michael4591]

You nailed the sound man! Mission to mars is also I fave Megadeth song in decades!

[@cantstartafire]

So happy that you put this out! Right on man! Great to see you again.

[@mikerauter1859]

Super clarity with heaviness!

[@J.Matt666]

good to have you back mate!

[@disidenciatotal]

Amigo, excelente toque como siempre, saludos desde Colombia.

[@nathancloud6344]

You absolutely nailed tone time brother!!! I heard bits of this album a week ago or so!!! I think this album sounds amazing and I'm ready to say up towards the top in the past decade plus

[@Cameron9788]

Awesome as always make!. Killer playing and tone!. Nobody better 🤘🏻

[@rrapeez]

Killer playing and tone!

[@2livedrew337]

Nice addition adding those Thrash Factors. I just put them in my Jackson and they sound killer. All of your videos are fantastic, but your Megadeth stuff is particularly rad! Thank you for making these🤘

[@mikeymayhem2600]

you nailed it sir! im jealous >>> wow 😋😳 love the jam room!!

[@500erider]

Awesome work !!!!!!! Thanks, LambChopper678 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nekroskum90]

You are a champion dude, always love kicking back listening to you talk shit about guitar.

[@kurzackd]

Great job as always, Mr. LambChopper! :) I've come to explain *WHY* Mission to Mars sounds so amazingly catchy and FUN to everyone's ears: 1) The intro jingles are an allusion to Another Way to Die -- the main Soundtrack song to the 007 film from 2008 -- Quantum of Solace. (Disturbed did something similar in their eponymous song (Another Way to Die) back in 2010) 2) The verse riff is an almost direct ripoff of the verse riff of The Offspring's *song* Smash (from the same-titled album). And, man, what a badass song that one is also! :) (By the way, Mustaine has said in the past that he's a fan of The Offspring, so please don't accuse me of imagining things. It's clear as day this is an homage!) 3) The frantic outro riffage is, of course, a reference to Metallica's One. 4) The singing style, lyrics, and of course just the overall story narrative is just SO. DAMN. *COOL.* . (like LambChopper said, the spoken-word interplays are really great! :) ) So there you have it! I hope that at least contextualizes things for you and makes it easier to understand WHY. :)

[@franciskyu75]

You nailed it, as usual!

[@johnstewart7619]

Ahhh this is awesome!! I should have known you would be all over this!! Great stuff!!! Glad to see you back!! Really glad!!!

[@johnstewart7619]

I am also going to download that cab too 😮!!!

[@jasonsapp792]

Great to see you posting videos again

[@pickles23401]

I honestly don't know how you do it but you nail every. single. tone.

[@jasonsmith2484]

Glad your back,always enjoy your videos n playing.

[@BK0187]

Tone and playing sounds great. Quality video as usual. Good to see all is well and you're back to making content. I recently picked up an Evh 5150iii stealth 50watt and matching 2x12 can. Sounds amazing. Not sure if you've done this prior, but would be cool to see some machinehead stuff, especially burn my eyes. Their new album that was recently released is great.

[@DP-ly3zx]

The man, the legend himself 🔥🤙

[@evilpie8130]

The king strikes again! Awesome vid!

[@andrewhouse3246]

Heli yeah!! Tony is back- great to see and hear you (&learn abit) hope all is well, thanx mate-

[@WaldoIMO]

Killer video, you never miss

[@adlerdefender8067]

I love the fact that he never uses backing tracks ... Or those drum programs because when most content creators do it doesn't sound good the tone gets buried with the production

[@AleCab2]

Man I really love this videos, unfortunately in Argentina is really hard to get all those amps and equipment but I hope some day I can capture those tones!

[@Superjet113]

Good to see you back! Told ya we would still be here, rock on friend! 🙂

[@JM_Smith1]

Love your playing..best on youtube

[@glennandreasen3152]

another great video 👍 I keep repeating myself....thank you for providing this amazing source for guitar players in particular metal, look forward to your next video

[@Bjornsguitarspecials]

I would love to have a capture for the Quad Cortex of this tone😍. Love it

[@CECMUNJOHN]

Perfect! Great album, and the video too.

[@mikewatkins3533]

Welcome back LC!!!! Cheers🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😎🎸🎸🎸

[@kurzackd]

Choppers delivers yet again with another KILLER instruction vid on how to nail a respective tone down! :) However, despite his amazing job at that, I would suggest that he rather refer to *TABS* when learning the riffs, as his current method of playing them demonstrates that his by-ear learning technique is not exactly on-point! :P (also, there are some timing issues...)

[@cc771]

Great video my man

[@SebbTheRiffer]

Hi. You Did it! So perfect!!

[@619dar]

I wasn't to sure of what to made of this album when I first heard it. But after a few listens I found it to sound a little bit like there album end game. Which I love.

[@kjetilromtveitvagen9585]

Awesome! Also loved mission to mars, the 9:12 part was the first thing I wanted to learn

[@keolahutchinson7687]

Straight up tone and no bs. 🔥

[@GermanNieves2X]

Man you killed it awesome video

[@franek866]

i got a cool idea that i think you would like. you could do viewers’ tone reactions. you could say what you like about each viewer’s tone or give some advice on what you would do differently

[@franek866]

also i got the idea from ola englund

[@Sylvain44]

Nice to see that you used the BritMega, that's the cab I'm using 90% of the time on my Captor X, it sounds really good (I might be biased though as that's the real cab I use too lol)

[@brettshawver2983]

Kick ass stuff brother!

[@oli8624]

I know that Kiko has been using a Soldano model on his Quad Cortex, so there is a high possibility that dave uses them as well. Since the 5150 is based on the soldano, it also would make sense that you can get this close to the recording

[@hdbclone116]

I was literally looking for this last night thats crazy

[@andydinesguitar]

Some fearsome riffing, great work🤟 Incredible that Mustaine is still cranking out this stuff after all these years and with his health issues.

[@Paincakes]

Kiko mentioned a while ago that he was using the QC's Friedman amp models when he first got his.

[@raymondsurace2575]

Nailed it….awesome!!! Thank you!

[@jesuislm]

Nice capturing!! In the kiko video they said they use live Friedman amp so maybe in the album they use a combination of amp.

[@iwannarockon2010]

Sounded so spot on Thrash for days!!! 🤘

[@TheBigFourFan]

Great to see you back nailing the guitar tones Hopefully you doing some song covers from exodus persona non grata. There is some really good stuff for guitar players to play.

[@lucwilson1]

Great album!! 🤘

[@thiagomelo8468]

For God's sake make us a Prince of Darkneess tone guide!!!! Those guitar are absolutely INSANE!!!

[@mattdedasc]

how??? Best metal guitarist and sound guy around

[@chase3112]

You’re a beast 💪 I’m so glad you’re back! Killer video! I love this stuff. Have you thought about doing a Sepultura Arise album tone video? I’ve been obsessed with that album recently. Killer tone killer songs. Cheers man, thanks!

[@justinhinchliffe2355]

This was Awesome!

[@kingvkelly2313]

i remember when jackson brought that king v out i wanted it so bad

[@idkwhattocallthisaccount9660]

Great video as always. Can't say I'm a big fan of their new album, but the tone is very nice. Also, have you considered doing the tone from the album "For Victory" by Bolt Thrower? It's undoubtedly a hidden gem in terms of metal tones. It's absolutely massive!

[@Johnuao]

Daamn, you really made the video dude!!! I was literally asking for it in two different accounts. You're our saviour 🙏 Could you make a video for Kiko's tone in this album? His guitar sounds kinda sharp at some parts and i like so much this effect

[@kzalig9573]

Very similar to album tone, last riff in mission to mars is not so complex but very effective in song! 🤟

[@Catonius]

Cheers Chopper.

[@aryinc]

awesome. personallky can't stand mission to mars. the i wanna i wanna wanna threw me off. the riff near the end is truly killer tough.,

[@spideliciousx9822]

Glad you brought up Mission to Mars. I actually love the song. Got great riffs that draws me in, song is corny as hell, but Iove it 🤣 Over all, pretty happy with the album. I got the blue and green translucent special edition vinyl which is pretty damn cool I might say. Nice work again LambChopper!

[@Natalia-jn8ul]

Amazing!!

[@valdirgoiscout]

Excelente🤘🤘🤘

[@tiagoqueiroz8779]

Yes!!!

[@bentruthuncovers9331]

Amazing 👍

[@KaddysJamKave]

How does this man have some a good ear and friggin patience to do these videos??? I can't think of anything more frustrating than sitting there for hours trying to clone other peoples tones with such perfection. Bugger that! :D

[@dethmetl]

I'm your 1000th like!

[@ittoryoudann]

According to interviews, Dave has been using Greenback lately.

[@mattjns]

Fulfilling current requests!

[@Nuclearassault85]

Gran album

[@rtoriz21]

I hope one day you can make the tone of the united abominations, I know you told me that they are different tones, but it would be fun. Greetings from Mexico!

[@amirphoenix2327]

UA might be my favourite sound, with Endgame, they keep switching places

[@chancepotter978]

Have you spent any time trying to dial in Bobby Gustafson's tone on the Years of Decay? It's another 80s thrash tone that that gets alot of questions about what he used.

[@harshtruth9148]

Dave doesnt use Heads anymore.....he uses neural dsp quad cortex and a seymour duncan power stage 500....i think the amp head he used to model the tones is a Marshall JCM 800

[@rishimishra123]

For live, not studio recording.

[@rrrico7896]

you should try and capture metallica's death magnetic tone :) notthat hard to achieve and positive you can acheive a great tone using the sick equipement you got in the back :)

[@aandc2005]

Kiko probably using Axe FX 3. also those are coolest riffs!!!🤘🎸

[@pieflies]

Both guitarists have switched to Neural DSP Quad Cortex now

[@secularspectator]

Nailed it! Frankie Hill FTW!

[@rosaintheparks1461]

I want to be lambchopper when i grow up 🥺
