Proof that strat is the most versatile guitar

[@allanwallace3538]

I love that you’re using a strat in drop F for those filthy tones. Fuck convention, this sounds awesome!

[@josessuarezz]

Thank you so much! I'm trying to practice with what i have right now until i get a proper guitar for modern metal

[@user-ir9km5lj1e]

f standard i think?

[@josessuarezz]

@@user-ir9km5lj1e exactly, F standard

Dude, I literally have a DiMarzio The Cruiser laying around. I can't believe you got that sound out of a $20 pickup, you could literally put this audio on top of someone playing an expensive Ibanez or whatever, and I would totally buy it. You definitely know how to work with what you have! props to that

[@josessuarezz]

Thanks man!, my plan was to install a Bareknuckle cobra, but the pickup alone cost more than the guitar itself haha, so it's not worth it imo, anyways, i'm happy with the upgrade

[@denni5aur282]

@@josessuarezz i have a rag and a jug, don't. they are bad? no. are they necessary? not really. pickups are a hoax, i am happy with my $30 wilkinson pickup

​@@denni5aur282It's all about amps and modelers, as well as theirs cabinets - rest is just clarity of the sound

Yo that's a cool strat

[@josessuarezz]

thanks man!, is my first guitar 🎸

[@CyberBlitzMusic]

imma need an exact rundown on that guitar tone

[@josessuarezz]

just the guitar connected directly to the interface and tweaking the options in Archetype Gojira until i found that spanky tone, the hot rails pickups helps a lot too

[@freddy_cyclone]

Wanting to watch the video but just staring at the red button wanting to press it

[@harsh__djents]

sounds really clean, what pitch shifter plugin did you use to down shit?

[@josessuarezz]

Thanks man! I'm just using the Transpose option included in the Neural dsp gojira plugin

[@yorue9911]

how do you pitch shift it down that far without it just sounding like mud? did you use the pitch shifting in the plugin?

[@josessuarezz]

Neural DSP Gojira X Transpose option and some EQ, both options included in the same plugin

[@grigoriraspoutine9298]

I was wondering, what pedal / plugin do you use for drop tuning ? This sounds amazing !

[@josessuarezz]

Thanks man! I used Neural DSP Gojira

[@tompayton84]

Meshuggah on a single coil strat? Blasphemy!

[@AltarexLuurkesien]

That is not a single coil that he plays on. It's a Hot Rail pickup which is a humbucker with the size of a single coil.

[@josessuarezz]

@@AltarexLuurkesien Indeed! ☝🏻

Messugah ssssuuuuuuuccckkk bro

[@josessuarezz]

Was hard to digest their music at first, but then i liked the fusion between noise and then ambient moments

[@Djent_Djenerator]

HA reminds me of my strat that I have! As a joke I put some thick ass strings on there and tuned it to drop G# and it worked FLAWLESSLY and sounded amazing! Now I keep it in G G C F A D tuning for some periphery songs and it is my trusty djent djenerator™ because of how insane it is. Strats are op for metal really

[@josessuarezz]

I thought of doing the same haha, i loved the lastest Haunted Shores album, Hellfire are in that same tuning too, but in the end that tuning limited me to only play those songs

[@BronxIsntAmerica]

Sounds great. Just curious, why tune down half a step just to pitch shift almost a whole octave?! is your guitar setup better for Eb?

[@josessuarezz]

Thanks man! There is no reason behind the eb tuning, it's just my main tuning for this guitar 🎸

[@renzospm]

How do I get my Strat to sound like that?

[@josessuarezz]

The hot rails pickups add a boost but keep that twangy strat tone!

[@dante7935]

Bro plays Messhuggy in Telecaster ☠️☠️ You are insane

[@edgyswordsmanmanga4051]

Is the red circle button an arcade killswitch? Whats the other red button?

[@josessuarezz]

Just a random momentary push button, and the on/off switch was planned to do coil split, but in the end i left it like a dummy switch

[@chrishiney981]

Baritone neck ?

[@josessuarezz]

Just a standard 25.5 strat neck

[@thewrongneighborhood7847]

whats the on off switch for?

[@josessuarezz]

The plan was to use it for the coil split, but in the end i left it like a dummy switch

[@thewrongneighborhood7847]

@@josessuarezz build your self a tilman preamp and use it as an on off switch. i have one on my 7 string and its literally just a "better" switch lol.

[@josessuarezz]

@@thewrongneighborhood7847 Sounds cool, what does that preamp do? I need to route more space in the electronics cavity?

[@thewrongneighborhood7847]

@@josessuarezz you just need space for a 9v, the circuit is super small, you should have space in a strat. basically makes your passive pups active without changing their overall tone, better headroom, and it makes your signal buffered. youll hear it when you hook it all up i promise and youll thank me running it in that tunning with those pups. its magic on singles. let me know if you need a link to the board

You did NOT tune this strat down to F. You just did not. I refuse to believe that lmao

No he did not. He just said that in Description. It is Pitch Shifted to F Standard.

Thank you so much!, may i'll update the description with a link to my preset, although that's what worked for me, i have a telecaster with himbuckers too and sounds different with it, more darker sound
