Chuck Schuldiner's Tone In A Pedal - Master Effects Martyr Preamp

[@Wyatth58]

Chuck’s riffs are always fun to play…killer tone from that pedal!

[@TheArmour88]

This is the 3rd video since you're return that's been about or included Death and Chuck's sound. As someone who got into death about 4 years ago and hasn't stopped listening to them daily since, this has been incredible. You're so right about Chuck's writing, the saddest part his passing is knowing we've missed out on some incredible material, he was getting more proggy and I think that's where he would've exploded imo Cheers Lamb you legend!

[@jww732]

Chuck's tone was undeniable and Instantly recognizable ! To this day the Valvestate had one of my very favorite tones. 🙏

[@willchug]

Yep, had one back in the day. It’s another one of those man I wish I didn’t sell that. I want it back.

[@corycourtney8923]

I cant believe how close you got here. Sounds amazing. I might be crazy, but I feel like there was always a bit of chorus going on even on Chuck's rhythm tone.

[@LambChopper678]

I’m sure there was, it’s the only effect he would add. I find certain chorus pedals color the tone a little even when they’re turned off. Maybe that’s the secret.

[@corycourtney8923]

@@LambChopper678 Well the tone you found was not at a loss for it either way. I'm always impressed with your ability to find all these tones within the gear you're using.

[@WildChildMcCloud]

Yes Chuck used a Boss CE-2

[@armandosolorzano570]

I know what you mean. Especially noticed it on the human instrumental demos. I wonder if it's not an effect but the result of multi tracking his guitar, the tremolo picking makes the pitches wobble together

[@Durkhead]

It's not exactly a death 💀 sound but if you use boss bass chorus u can add chorus only to the high end and not the low frequencies its sounds really good

[@CHuFF00]

Great video! So glad to see my favorite guitarist on KZbin playing Chucks riffs. I've been learning Flattening of Emotions and I'm realizing I'm just not good enough to play it yet haha

[@LambChopper678]

A lot of the songs are more technical and harder to play than how they sound. I find some of his rhythmic timings are the most challenging. Super fun to play though

[@burnoutzzz]

Killer pedal! The valvestate series are my favorite amps of all time. Like a modded jcm800 but with less tubes so its easier to maintain

[@IrLosin]

It's not just your talent for getting the tone, also your playing is really similar to the albums. Nobody gets as close as you. Amazing.

[@danielblake1537]

Check out my buddy who plays Death covers on the BC Rich Stealth Chuck Schuldiner signature guitar and he even uses the 3 finger method Chuck used when playing and he learns most of them by ear! Just look up "Death Covers" he has alot of vids of him playing Death and one of the best at sounding like Chuck!

i have an 8100 and LOVE it. I also have a GK 250ML which kills it too. These are the only 2 amps I play. Funny how they both use solid state power sections but i like to send the fx send to the return of my Marshall DSL40cr for the sag.

[@oranriojas1571]

awesome video bro!! Chuck's rules

[@JDUBBY08]

Sounds like it's a more modern version of his tone. Sounds killer

[@jarradbennett2286]

It's probably because the original amp had 1 pre amp tube ecc83/12ax7 and a solid state power or output stage but here the roles are little reversed because he put the pedal in the return side of the effects loop and completely bypassed the preamp so now you have a completely solid state preamp(the pedal)and an el34 output stage but I thought it sounded very authentic the next best thing to having a UK made valvestate 8100 head or 8080 combo

[@cholex]

I recently made a cover of Zombie Ritual and I struggled to get the level of gain that Chuck used on Scream bloody Gore, I eventually managed to the closer as possible with Neural DSP plugins. The same applies do Leprosy, spiritual and human. That pedal you are using is more suitable for Death latter records than the earlier ones which are extremely raw heavy death METAL guitars.

Got my 8100 for like $270 bucks needs a bit of work volume pots I think but basically got it for a song that pedal looked sick tho I saw it on their website

[@aquilarossa5191]

Would one of those passive volume control gadgets designed for a serial FX loop allow you to turn the preamp up without risking the amp's FX return?

[@LambChopper678]

I don’t think it’s needed mate unless you happen to have a preamp that needs to be cranked to sound good. This pedal sounds great at lower levels. Turning it up seems to sound like it clips and loses a little clarity.

[@brandonjackson5865]

I wonder if you could cop some Fear Factory tones out of that pedal ? I think Dino used some Valvestates too. It’s a pretty crushing pedal for sure, I’ve just sorta gotten into running pedals into the return of my DSL20 the power section of the DSL20 is surprisingly big and clean huh ? You just can’t get that level of saturation out of the DSL20 going through the front in or at least it’ll never be as tight and the DSL is a pretty tight amp.
