Trivium: 'In Waves' Video Lesson - Gear Discussion

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

The small green pedal. Yes, yes we know. Peavey 6505, Maxon od808, Mesa 4x12 that has vintage 30 speakers in it. That right there is the key to life

[@xXAscendingPhoenixXx]

To you, not to everyone though.

[@ConstantineM]

On my POD HD 500x combination of Peavey and Mesa cabinet delivers so much fuzz.. omg

[@aquinojoselois]

Matt's got a built in reverb pedal in his voice box.

[@bryanlettow4389]

Jolo Aquino sick I want that mod

[@embassyhotel]

Matt use to play those Dean Dimebag guitars when he was younger & starting out on their Ember to Enferno & Ascendancy albums. When i use to go see them at Harpos in Detroit that's what Matt would be playing & he did use his black Epiphone guitar on some songs still then to but it was a majority of Dean Dimebag guitars.

[@runescapeman809]

Eye contact with Matt heafy is chilly

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

It's more noticable when he's talking to someone with Matt who speaks so cleanly and quickly all the time.

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

And now his signature epiphone les paul looks absolutely stunning and top notch. Affordable, has every specification i want in a guitar, looks amazing and would give an some awesome vibe playing it \m/

[@warheadx2]

I luv Coreys reaction to emg pickups :-D

[@ChaosBurnsWithin]

Matt has said previously in interviews that his dad played guitar and that his dad always wanted a son who played a Les Paul so i think that maybe his dad and him shared it when he got it. I know my dad and i share some gear still, and I'm almost 19!

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

Corey is as Matt said himself 'Metal 24/7'. He's always wearing Death shirts in interviews paying respect to the legend of death metal, Chuck schuldiner :) If i remember correctly he said the first band he ever loved was Guns n roses.

[@soclosenomatterhow]

To Pure Fucking Heavy Metal... Dave Mustaine moved from Jackson to ESP for a brief period then onto Dean simply because Jackson was going bankrupt, he offered to buy the company being such a long time endorsee, they refused and Fender bought them. In classic Mustaine fashion he said Fuck you guys and went somewhere else.

[@AustinV40]

Saw them live in July on the mayhem tour :) right before them in flames played and then like two seconds after they got done from my right I heard capsizing the sea start and then they walked out and started in waves. It was the coolest concert I have ever been to! Trivium is great live! I caught nicks stick and Matts pick :) lol

[@johnathandk42134]

for everyone who somehow misunderstood them (idk how though lol)... pretty much their album rig was mainly matt's main old gibson through a maxod od 808 into a peavey 5150 head with mesa boogie rectifier and a mesa boogie traditional cabinets, corey's leads were a peavey 6534 head into the same stuff and a little eventide harmonizer

[@Joeseffel]

@abysslord16 Contract ended 2 years ago. They didn't renew it, probably cause Matt's guitar headstock sapped off when it fell over. I've seen £100 guitars fall over and not have a mark on them so they were probably making a wise move to get out.

[@bledboost]

@mrphilcollins obviously the epiphone is a lot cheaper because it's lower quality. I think if he's gonna make a signature guitar it should be the one he mainly plays. It's kinda phoney to put your name on a guitar that you're not going play or rarely play. That goes for any equipment endorsement. Someone else commented that they were endorsement whores, sounds about right...

[@gearhead2017]

Thats cool matt is aware that some of us musicians are on a budget

[@OoMelkorOo]

For pickups, I'd recommend Seymour Duncan Blackouts. Corey uses them. I think EMG's just make guitars sound the same.

[@patrickolivier1]

Nope

[@TerranMacKay]

They're talking about the Maxon OD808 overdrive if anyone is wondering about the "green one"

[@sebastianrhoads3810]

It's always funny to watch Matt while Corey is talking :D

[@WildWildWeasel]

Didn't they refer to the OD808? I have that one.

[@AussieTyson1]

heafy had a gibson custom when he was 12? fuck me dead, lad was spoiled

[@hytellus]

not really, he was talented as fuck as a kid so his parents probably wanted him to have better stuff to get better with

[@maxmustardman298]

money well spent in my opinion

[@superssjtrunks2]

i remember him saying somewhere that his dad was a les paul player so he wanted to have matt play les pauls when he grew up

[@bryanlettow4389]

His dad was a guitar player too so I think he just wanted the best for his kid. Even if Matt didn't keep playing it wouldn't have been a waste. Very glad he kept shredding though!

[@metallicaguy123]

my parents felt the same way when I was around 13. I started playing a Fender when I was 9 and my parents liked my playing so much that they bought me an Ibanez Prestige guitar at 13. Hard work goes a long way.

[@decapitatedrathead]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot Probably, but the axe fx can get valve sounds, have you heard periphery or red seas fires tones?

[@Varithgar]

The amount of times Corey says "uh" is legendary.

[@xinvinmen629sheridan9]

I was just thinking this!

[@OoMelkorOo]

I haven't played either of these. I've never even seen a white Explorer other than in videos. The KH would be a safer bet and I'm sure it is cheaper. I'd pick the Explorer just because the Strat shape doesn't suit me very well. To be safe, try them both (at Guitar Center or something) and see which one you like better.

[@JeffryFeffry]

He said that it was his dads dream,before he was even born,to have a son that played a les paul custom,so his dad was probably like "TAKE THIS FUCKING GUITAR" XD

[@JoneHoftun]

@valdivia562 i wonder where you could have seen that, i might be wrong, but its not out yet as far as i know

[@TheShreddDude]

Les Paul Customer at 12??! WTF

[@ZacMetal99]

I've had a LP Robot since 15 xD

[@boomboomgaming04]

I have an Ibanez RG2EX2 that I bought when I was 13. Still in good condition

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

i've decided how the fretboard plays will be the deciding factor. Played a friends explorer and the body balanced well. so the fretboard only matters now, i'll change the pickups anyway if i get the explorer.

[@mrphilcollins]

@bledboost i'm not saying anything different to you. i agree if you endorse something...you should use it. on one end its nice that players release epiphone versions as its way too expensive for the real thing and secondly the guitars are usually pretty good, just check out the joe bonamasa epiphone. on the other hand its easy to get the idea its a money spinner, good idea too as most trivium fans don't have money for high end guitars so making a signature les paul wouldn't benefit gibson.

[@decapitatedrathead]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot Yea I figured that out about 5 minutes after i posted that. I don't know why they didn't record with it though.

[@hiitsflashguy]

I own the Kirk Hammet LTD, the limited edition one that came out last year- best choice of guitar i've ever made.

[@AeonAxisProductions]

@ChaserHUN the same thing basically as the ibanez tube screamer ts808

[@trevwagner666]

@DeathPandaDanceParty no problem, i heard matt say what one it was in a video somewhere

[@DeathPandaDanceParty]

I dont think we need to worry about his epi because I'm pretty sure whatever you saw or saw him play with were just prototypes which are always very plain! they're just supposed to 'work' then after the specs are settled they get into making it look good...it'll probably be a Les Paul with EMG's but a better neck and maybe a better cut-away at the back...

[@Max45090]

what blackouts Corey use AHB-1,AHB-2 or AHB-3?

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

I just bought a Marshall jvm410. A small part of me is regretting not buying a Peavey 6505. Though the shop i got the Marshall head for $1600 and it's normally $2700. Hopefully the Marshall Head really does have a massive and present voice that cuts through in a mix.

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

Ultimate metal guitar = Jackson Sl2HT soloist or Jackson KV2T King V. So yeah, i agree, but i personally prefer super strat guitars. King Vs are kickass as well

[@VersaFx]

i cannot wait until Matt's signature guitar comes out

[@mrphilcollins]

@bledboost he's not saying he's going to drop using his les paul customs instead he's saying he wants to build a cheaper model that has good build quality that he could in theory use for performing. its cheaper also! think about it this way his signature epiphone will probably cost somewhere between 5 and 700 and a real gibson les paul custom starts off at around 3300 to 3500. so thats the point...unless you have 3500 lying around the house that is.

[@TheBeardedBaka]

Hmmmm...I'm wondering why they censored Matt talking about his Fractal Audio Axe-Fx.

[@MrTherocker101]

happy new year,everybody.

[@Harrysound]

Wait digital processing unit?> Is mat saying they use amp modelling?

[@hibernatingbedhead]

@VersaFx when is it comming out???

[@mouloudo]

@tango616 could be OD9, OD 820 etc...

[@mouloudo]

@tango616 right, but I hope they would have remembered this one

[@YitauN]

" I need EMGs... He doesn't" Simply great

[@destructionmanifesto]

@SpawntheFuries Agreed. Ibanez sound way too treble-y to me, and personally I don't really like the necks if I'm playing one for a long time, cause I like a relatively chunky neck. I think Ibanez's cheap guitars are amazingly good quality though.

[@AyoJesse]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot I'm assuming with their constant changes in endorsements they would rather just start keeping names out.

[@MrVoodooTube]

White Explorer with Seymoure Duncan SH-8 Invader Pickups in bith positions, (If you want active ones take blackouts)

[@thepresidentslab]

I was right! Matt is using an Axe-FX live now. :D

[@TerranMacKay]

@mouloudo true, but the 808 is the most popular one.

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

Sick. Neck thru? cause a lot of kirk's models that are special edition are all bolt on and not as great overall.

[@destructionmanifesto]

Oh and Peavey 6505/5150 amps are the best too :D Trying to save for the 6505 212 combo....taking quite some time :P

[@adamgibbons94]

@HurricaneTBag matt used to but he's endorsing gibson now

[@mouloudo]

@drawnacrol maybe a fractal, they're supposed to be amongst the best outhere

[@ijumitzu]

that epiphone signature things he said are so awesome ! I mean it's not usual that guitarists think like that - most of them use epiphones or something to smash 'em on stage or something , really cool that he thinks of US little guitarists sitting in our dark little rooms and practising to their tracks with no money to buy gibson customs and that shit. Thats a real Rocker-dude right there !.

[@darkdeviltj101]

What happened to Matt's his signature Dean ML? XD

[@emrahercancakir]

I remember seeing a JVM410H in their recent videos as well.

[@schlagdog]

@forbiddensociety I love how they had to cut out actually saying AXEFX because Peavey would have a heartattack.

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

torn between a kirk hammett ESP and a white explorer. any ideas?

[@FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@decapitatedrathead Yep, they use axe-fx II live

[@grillo1985]

you're right 24 frets it's better than 22 ;) anyway the best guitar you could have is a signature..one guitar build for your hands and sound but it's expensive....

[@itslubby_]

@DeathPandaDanceParty Maxon od808, saw it on a gear page

[@destructionmanifesto]

Gibson and Jackson are the two best guitar manufacturers imo :) I love it when my friends tell me buying a Gibson Explorer was stupid and should have gone for ESP or Ibanez....if Gibson are that bad why is Matt Heafy using them ;D? If they're good enough for him, then they're good enough for me :D

[@10strein]

1. Trivium 4 way tie for 2nd favorite bands. Lamb of god, Chimaira, As I Lay Dying, and In flames.

[@PoetryEmotion94]

@softepic247 oh yeah lol you're right. i thought he had some former injury that made his hand do that.

[@VegaMaiden95]

I wish i could have gotten a Les Paul custom at the age of 12...

[@rashandavid9559]

I like Cory Beaulieu's guitar more

[@KyleTheWynner]

its it me or does Matt look like the guy from Inception?

[@grillo1985]

fender like gibson or jackson you can like it or not... aniway have you ever tried Jim Root strat..?? before try it and then let me know dude ^^

[@mattyboyburtonator3967]

im sure that small green thing was an ibanez tube screamer

[@CrypticMajesty]

Im pretty sure they meant the Maxon OD808

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

Is that the Ouija one? that's like 9 grand? or that green one. Or another one completely.

[@0c3l0t44]

Maybe ESP, and the higher range LTDs. but after having owned a few low range LTDs, and owning a Gibson Les Paul Traditional with EMGs, i MUCH prefer my Gibson. Though, I do like ESPs too.

[@danieluan89]

What kind of les paul is that?

[@SpawntheFuries]

Its mostly because they're made of basswood, the RG a S series models. For rhythm, they aren't all that good i my opinion, but for leads they work which is why guys like Satch and Steve Vai love them so much. I agree though, Ibanez makes some nice guitars, just not my thing, haha.

[@DeathPandaDanceParty]

@trevwagner666 Thanks, I had narrowed down my list to the OD808 and OD9 but still wasn't sure :S

[@Ascendancy-]

has his signature guitar came out yet? anyone know?

[@MetalcoreLover94]

So many bands use Peavey 5150/6505 nowadays, bands need to get their hands on a Framus Cobra!!!

[@jedijosh5]

What ever happened to there indorsement with Dean???

[@TyPursell]

what happened to dean with these guys?

[@travispadilla3972]

Matt's face expressions f****** funny

[@606wrath]

and what tuning did they use on the album ?

[@decapitatedrathead]

was he talking about axe fx?

[@SpawntheFuries]

@DeathMagneticX3 Yeah, I don't get that either. Jackson and Gibson are my favorite too, haha. I actually very much dislike Ibanez guitars, the necks are beautifully comfortable but there's just something about them that I really don't like tone-wise.

[@grillo1985]

Are you sure dude? Jim Root strat/tele born to play metal. I've an american Strat and i put on it the emty blackouts Drop C tuning and it's fucking amazing sound and power. i'm lefty so i've a poor choice for guitats :( but one strat with others pickups can play metal bro \m/

[@ReDiezX]

Matt is always in this vest...

[@ProfileMeBand]

Awesome! We're playing punk rock, but thats awesome!

[@philsmusic867]

I love how matt's expression is like "shut the fuck up"

[@T3STAM3NT11]

jim root signatures... perfect for metal

[@guitartime1231]

what is the matter with Matt when Corey's talking looks like he doesn't want him to speak

[@ricky3698]

He always has that look.

[@higler.]

That's just his resting bitch face

[@travispadilla3972]

Guitar Time I was thinking the same shit

[@ChaserHUN]

Maxon OD808?

[@AllenHarrison]

it was probably a Maxon OD808 fyi

[@th3forg1v3n]

I have that same AILD shirt. Sweet

[@adamgibbons94]

@606wrath all Eb tuning with drop D

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

Awesome idea!!

[@AshwinGill1999]

Matt HEafy!! LOVE U !! U ROCK

[@darkdeviltj101]

@hashibatune I miss it too. My damn friend got one a few months ago at guitarcenter for an ungodly good price

[@destructionmanifesto]

Sorry, I should have put from my experience...didn't mean to generalize them all. I meant from the models that I've played (mostly the S series and RGs) they seem quite trebly. Not that it's a bad thing, just not my kind of thing :)

[@softepic247]

@PoetryEmotion94 i saw that too, then i figured out he hit the pick up selector

[@AntonioTENEBRION]

@unknownuser890 no its not a downgrade is just change of name epiphone is made by Gibson and epiphone is a good quality even though is cheaper than the real company but still make awesome gear and he wants something good not extremely expensive he is thinking about his fans which are the reason he has all of his crap :)
