Suffocation - GEAR MASTERS Ep. 66

[@WhoreTorture]

Suffocation and Nile so far have some of the most interesting taste and knowledge in gear

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘

[@MahadevEternal]

WhoreTorture Also Deicide

[@bradhall9120]

I love all three of those bands suffocation deicide and Nile 🤘🏿

[@deicide666100]

Karl likes everything set up a little bit different than most people would, just the string gauges alone don’t come in a regular pack or anything so it’s probably at first a lot for a guitar tech to get used to, a lot of people use two heads now but he liked to put all the effects after they come through the amp not before like some effects are just automatically used before it runs through the amp, he’s a wrong though because you are using the full sound of heads it’s actually very innovative

[@guybuddy1]

It really shows in their sound too.

[@redmuun519]

Terrance is probably one of the few death metal legends whose still got it. Absolute inspiration and more guitarists should use him as an example of what to push yourselves to achieve

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘

[@discotecc]

Saw them play a few weeks ago; can confirm

[@1fatherwinter]

i love that terrance still sports the same rims he wore in high school haha

[@digitaltourbus]

Terrance keeps it real!

[@petepetrich7828]

Those have always killed me. I love 'em!

[@FreneticZetetic]

Billy Cobham glasses!

[@lordgargamel4124]

How he wears em lower shows his age. He looks at you above the lens and reads/focuses through them.

[@blackout_1349]

that bass is insane! love the fanned frets

[@deicide666100]

Derrick is a great player and a great guy, he is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of gear and is always willing to discuss it with you

[@henrik640]

Man I love suffo. Terrence is one of my fav guitarists. So cool to see this.

[@digitaltourbus]

Really glad you liked the video!

[@macesteffy2066]

Terrance Hobbs rules.

[@digitaltourbus]

He sure does!

[@cortnysellers]

This episode really bangs

[@digitaltourbus]

Really glad you liked it!!

[@josefrancisco6969]

Saw them live, incredible sound for a band in this style of music.Just amazing how tight they play.

[@digitaltourbus]

Definitely a great live band!

[@DrMurdercock]

"for this style"?

[@sirbattlecat]

I find that their albums are usually poorly mixed which is a damn shame. They're such a unique band and their music deserves to shine. Hopefully I can see them some day.

[@DrMurdercock]

It's worth it. They destroy it live

[@VortechBand]

I've seen tens of death metal bands live, from world-famous to locals, and the majority of them have sounded really sloppy and undefined live. Only a couple of them have been world-class tight live (Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Skeletonwitch).

[@MutatedAntibiosis]

Oh this is awesome. I love when all the info about the string gauge is given. Please do this more often!

[@digitaltourbus]

Most of the episodes of Gear Masters include string gauge. The only time when it isn't is if (a) the guy wasn't quite sure and didn't have an extra pack on his or (b) I forgot because we were so pressed for time since we don't usually have a lot of time to film these episodes.

[@kj197734]

I have watched the majority of these episodes out of order but I am getting to all of them. It is amazing to me how selfless some of these artists are just getting up every day touring and making great music. They don't have to be on national radio or television to be at the forefront of bands. There is also consistency with gear like Ibanez, BC Rich, D'Addario, Ernie Ball, Maxon, Boss, Korg, ISP, Peavey, etc... which shows these companies continue to make great products.

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks so much for the support for this series! So glad to hear you're getting a chance to watch the videos! :)

[@phyrexianvenom6529]

This bass made my brain liquid.

[@digitaltourbus]

Ditto.

[@mattprovost9878]

It bangs

[@Jurica-mtb]

I like their road gear setup. It's simple but killer. It's cool to see your favourite band knows everything about their gear in details. That's what I'm after - musicianship. Respect \m/

[@digitaltourbus]

I appreciate simplicity too. :)

[@skatterpro]

About Hobbs strings - finally someone playing somewhat light strings too! For my 7-string i play 56 - 09, being a standard 09 set with a 56 thrown in, but I have a somewhat longer scale length. Tuned to drop A, I really like the attack and grind you get out of loose strings. It's a matter of controlling it though.

[@digitaltourbus]

I guess everyone has a different preference. I've heard some many different string gauges.

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

GurktheBrutal that’s why he rips. Always has. Djent dudes suck

[@digitaltourbus]

Suffocation shows you the gear they use on tour! Who should we film with next?

[@batingbunnies]

Digital Tour Bus job for a cowboy!

[@digitaltourbus]

James Cook For Gear Masters? We'll try to next time we see them hit the road. Have you seen our Bus Invaders with them?

[@batingbunnies]

Digital Tour Bus i have not seen that, will definitely check it out!

[@digitaltourbus]

James Cook Sweet!

[@charlesoverman2950]

Digital Tour Bus Vektor!

[@bbrennan1550]

Suffocation is still as hardcore as ever. THanks for the gear review, I watched every second, and I can tell you guys are geniuses with the equipment and sound. Great music, a staple of metal from the beginning.

[@treewisemenllc7281]

That bass was on another level 👌

[@Palecrow9]

Carcass please!!!

[@digitaltourbus]

We'll do our best, but it's ultimately up to them!

[@simonsmallhorne]

Thanks guys, awesome video. Terrance, Derek and Charlie kick serious ass on stage! Can't wait for the new album. Hail the mighty Suffocation!!! \m/

[@digitaltourbus]

All hail Suffocation! :)

[@joshjacobus4641]

Digital Tour Bus suffocation is cool but it's all about cannibal corpse and SIX FEET UNDER

[@simonsmallhorne]

josh jacobus Haaaaaa haha!😂

[@thatmechanicguy8773]

josh jacobus Cannibal is great and definitely deserves to be at the top, but they fell off until Rob rejoined the band. There are many death bands that are way better now though.

[@simonsmallhorne]

[@ThatMeansHesMad]

You dealing drugs, son? 😅

[@BagusWibisono]

Their rig just so simple, but’ why their sound so good at live? I saw them live in 2016 and their sound so good and clear!

[@naruto199797]

The fanned frets are great because you can tune down with lighter strings which really helps with fast music

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘

[@joesandoval3741]

I love the simplicity of their rigs. Not a big setup just a few pedals. Sounds amazing live!

[@digitaltourbus]

Couldn't agree more!

[@captainron4470]

these guys are so genuine it feels good when u see your favorite bands being the sickest human beings as well

[@digitaltourbus]

:)

[@DeathMetalManiac1988]

Talented guitar player and a humble guy. Nice equipment.

[@digitaltourbus]

Definitely!

[@ehyde1781]

Great interview! I saw this tour in Kansas City last May. Absolutely killer set! Had to leave right after their set to go see Hate Eternal on the other side of town. My neck was sore for a week after that night!

[@digitaltourbus]

Haha! Sounds like a great night of metal!

[@jacobzamora2631]

terrence hobbs is sooo sick!! such a bad ass guitar player.

[@digitaltourbus]

Definitely!

[@beatmastersimperium8864]

I know man and he's such a technical riffer its hard as hell for me to learn his riffs by ear lol

[@rodrigocastro7651]

Wow for me, Terrance is the best complex composer early 90s and today !!!!!!!! His the best !!!!!!

[@digitaltourbus]

[@grantlazenby8192]

Thanks guys, that was awesome! Suffocation!!! \m/

[@digitaltourbus]

So glad you liked it!

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

5:54 If there's anybody else that can top the solid *"bassmanship"* of CC's *Alex Webster,* then it's definitely none other than *Derek Boyer.*

[@johnny711]

there is no "top" only solid bassists. brutal death metal..difficult topic for bassists. a few coming to my mind Nils of Disavowed, John of Inveracity. Seen em both. Badass brutal fingering just like Derek. They only way to play the bass in such uncompromising music

[@grazianodrummer]

Nice fact : Terence stole my buddy’s beer at Legend Club Milano ... my buddy (Natas) said to him :”do you wanna some of this” he answered “Yeah man!” Then there was a massive rain and Terence ran with the beer into the van ... ahahahah great dude ! Suffocation are really down on earth guys !

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

Graziano Ciccarelli amazing. They are basically the Sepultura of death metal. Beyond legendary.

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Killer video. Can't wait for the new album and despite Frank's situation, I totally hope he'll be part of the album. Much love for Suffocation. Thank you, Digital Bus. You rule. Also, thanks to Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles for posting the alert on their official page. Hails to them (if they're reading this) for all their years in bringing the metal. Hails to all.

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for watching the video! Brave Words always supports our stuff and we couldn't be more grateful! :)

[@nellsonstout7001]

Chuloloc I was lucky enough meet Frank, Guy, Terrance, Derek and Kevin in 2015

[@danadabrowski3366]

Derek Boyer is probably the best player in Death Metal and that's saying something.

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘🤘

[@ThatMeansHesMad]

Definitely. Alex Webster and the dude from Cryptopsy as well

[@thedddemon]

Hobbs is such a cool guy. Amazing band.

[@digitaltourbus]

He sure is!

[@danekristiansen457]

I love their set up . Boyer has the best basses I've ever heard and seen . Of course that maybe partially due to the fact he's the best player in death metal .

[@digitaltourbus]

😀

[@joshtaylor6086]

Terrence is just fucking rad. His tone has been the heaviest fucking tone for 30+ years. Other bands have tried, but nobody does it quite like Mr. Hobbs and Suffocation.

[@twegf]

Was looking to understand hobbs' soubd, very well done with details. Thanks!

[@digitaltourbus]

So glad you found the video helpful!

Same tuning as hate eternal and me on complete accident, Terrance is probably one of the most approachable people I’ve ever met, he always talks to everyone about everything and he is always brutal

[@RandyRanis]

So, 7string set 10,13,17,26,46,56 and 10,13,17,36,46,56 C#. Love this band!

[@digitaltourbus]

It just goes to show you don't need a trendy 8 or 7 string guitar to be super heavy Terrence with his guitar and maxon pedal makes that 6150 sound amazing. Btw those super distortion pickups he's running are incredible . It's cool to see someone with great tone who isn't playing the old stand by emg 81s .

According to their Wikipedia, he's no longer in the band.

Digital Tour Bus lmao. Everybody should know their gear already. Like Yngwie

[@alainfigueroa9888]

On these he uses the distortion of amp plus maxon pedal... right? Anyway, always I'm wondering these combinations, of distortions/effects and amps, it's common in metal to combine the amp disto+pedal disto?

[@ericv7720]

Usually pedal with the volume all the way up and the amp gain dialed back, or the amp gain dimed out with the pedal volume dialed back, as Terrance does it. The pedal distortion is always all the way down.

[@WolfgangHood8404FMF]

Fuckin Suffocation is the best, and I’m old school, Death, Mayhem, Maiden, Exodus, Carcass, Canibal Corps, Black Sabbath. So FUCK YEAH 🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤
