Drop Eb on the Victory Amps Kraken MKII | Thick Riff Thursday, Ep 44

[@RabeaMassaad]

Thanks so much for checking it out man.! Sounds beefy and huge 🙏🔥🙏

[@therealexpletive]

love u fam.

[@joshtorresfdu6621]

PAUSE!!!!!

[@nat11han]

King Rabea!

[@rockprophecy2897]

I’m so glad you’ve spotted this man Rabea. He definitely deserves recognition.

[@scentia_est]

@@rockprophecy2897 this one is paid, he already knew one of his business partner 😉 Paid promotion.

[@Rowanexen]

We have an official continuation of "Tube Amp Guy Broomhall" now 😂

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

I can't be stopped

[@smokeyrobots]

I just recorded my upcoming single on a Kraken Mk. 1 using a 7-string tuned to Drop G. I think a lot of people sleep on this amp. It's voiced like a Blockletter thats more mid-forward, less fizzy, and has a drier saturation. It is hands down the best sounding amp I've owned. Go get one, you guys.

[@carazy123_]

Can't believe how much thiccer my Thursday just got

[@aaronlawson203]

Someone enjoys monuments. I mean so do I but that's a monuments style riff if I've ever heard one. I love it

[@Kideem]

Yeah those scratches/dead notes or whatnot REALLY remind me of The Amanuensis. Specifically Origin of Escape. Same with the lead guitars too.

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

One of my fav albums

[@aaronlawson203]

@nickbroomhallmusic you videos inspire me alot. Your guitar tons are just so good.

[@Kideem]

@@nickbroomhallmusic hell yeah, same here

[@elbow333]

you being that good at drumming in tight jeans and your knees in front of your toes is so funny to watch lol. loved this episode :)

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

😂 They're stretchy jeans

[@thescottallen]

@@nickbroomhallmusic legit makes all the difference... gotta be able to limber up like in Zombieland lol

[@theisaackielofproject3973]

Absolutely dirty riff, with a thiccc tone. as always a banger

[@ItsMikey228]

Okay this is actually my favorite riff so far. It's a beautiful mix of Monuments and Periphery. I can see this leading into a lofi break/build, and explode into a huge breakdown using the offbeat chugs/string scratches as the motif. At least that's how I would take it. Would love to see you revisit this in another TRT and expand it!

[@6eric6little62]

Dude this is way beyond a 10 I hope this goes into a full length song and be released

[@itdwellswithin]

Groovage meter is high on this one! Really enjoyed the whole process too! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Fz3ro]

Haha that was totally channeling your inner Hacktivist, their still going, got a new vocalist, new stuff is sick :)

[@T358-p4x]

Incredible mix and riff as always dude!

[@zaquemwhc]

Just here to let you know that I do be watching these the day they come out. I do just be forgetting things after a few months. I went back and watched ep 27 last night in excitement for today's video! I love victory amps. Mercedes from Soft Cult uses a sherrif amp/pedal. It's pretty rad.

[@Vindsvept]

Getting some lovely Klepacki vibes from those octaves!

[@americanaccents]

Timfy James & Hacktivist's self titled is still my favorite EP of all time. the Cold Shoulders drop still gives me goosebumps.

[@TheBanana93]

yeah man still slaps!

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Unlike Us and Blades are absolutely goated. Would love to hear a remix/remaster of that EP

[@americanaccents]

@@nickbroomhallmusic right? so freaking good. Love the old music videos too, seeing the bass strings just absolutely loose flopping around, Timfy with his Euro getup and track wear. golden era for sure.

[@prod.SaintBySix]

God I loved old school Hacktivist (before Timfy and Ben left) and I can HEAR the raps in this. Good job as always man

[@808berg]

Great stuff man, I love the new ad roll lol

[@StoriesOfSolitude]

Dude this is insane.

[@drivabletoaster417]

Got that Rick Astley hair let’s gooooo

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

I actually just started singing Never Gonna Give You Up to my barber and he was like "say less"

[@TheAustinely]

it was actually "please say less" but I understand the misunderstanding!

[@draxhaunts1]

1:25 okay dad lmao

[@PerryDeGennaro]

Best riff in a long time! Full song worthy!

[@RRstudio-MLR]

The riff kinda reminds me of Valis Ablaze as well. Cheers mate 🍻

[@ishak540m]

Appreciate the "In the Name of God" riff. ❤

[@Technicallity1]

the slight chug in there got me

[@mattaclysmic_gaming1936]

Nick, as a subscribed lover of your videos, I am constantly inspired by you in making music. I’ve played all instruments for years now but I lack knowledge in how to record things down. I’m just wondering if you can shed some light on the programs you use for your production and maybe the process of how you actually get each note you play into those programs. What cords you use, is your guitar plugged into your computer via a special cord, is it midi or just through that keyboard on your desk, etc. I would love to see a video on this process. Keep up the awesome work man love your videos.

[@evigkrig4386]

Love your stuff bro!

[@benstanfill363]

Gawd DAMN that was thick

[@shanemharris]

It's got a Periphery/Monuments vibe that is so chunky. Tube amps are soooo good for recording/production

[@rickyneedham8286]

Absolute banger. That Kraken BEEFS.

[@joejohnson9659]

My band tracked all the rhythm guits for our debut album on the super kraken. Victory were kind enough to send us some heads to try and yeah it was such a workhorse! Profiler - A digital Nowhere is the album for anyone interested. It came out yesterday

[@beatsbyodin1054]

Ngl the blast beat sounded good

[@Sirschlootington]

Dude which chair is that?. Love that the arms raise for riff seshes 🔥

[@cultserpent4501]

I love what you do dude, new sub here!

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks man! Welcome!

[@apogeantide]

Rabea is sick. This riff is sick, I’m gonna have to rip this one off too

[@Savagewoodworker]

Such a dope riff.

[@NeedsMorePinchHarmonics]

Duuuude 10/10 riff

[@jaydenrobertson-zr9fu]

10/10 that riff is siiiiiiiiiiick

[@martinleise]

maaaad talent

[@joshkuhnmusic]

BRO HACKTIVIST WAS SO SICK

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Their debut EP changed my brain chemistry

[@joshkuhnmusic]

@nickbroomhallmusic quite literally same. That tight stalls part at the end of Unlike Us makes me want to teach a robot how to hardcore dance

[@americanaccents]

the riff at the end tho.. lawd have marcy

[@Riverparkroad]

Please make this a full song!!!

[@akira_21_]

7:53 dude i just got some f-ing banana bread at work today dude... hell yeah

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

😂

[@ethiing]

Freaked out when you mentioned Hacktivist! I play in a band with their drummer Rich, he's the best guy.

[@Modezart]

another sick ass riff

[@profoundproductionss]

now this is epic

[@johnny_b_dude]

I rate this riff *THICC/10* 🤩

[@SadcNativ]

Reminds me of Scorpion Hymn just a bit with that triplet feel 😮

[@BSWian]

So nice🤘😎

[@brblanck]

So sick

[@kelly.householder]

10! so good man..

[@vitzen36]

Dream Theater at the end sounded SICK

[@jacobharvey47]

This riff was an 10.1 out of 10

[@mileshurst9823]

i like this tone more than most of the ampsims i think

[@dbwastooshort]

Getting a little bit of Karnivool and Tesseract with this

[@Rowanexen]

Did Karnivool ever go this low? I don't remember them tuning out of BF#BGBE tbh 😅

[@AkiraSpectrum]

Ridiculously gooooooood. #BringBackTubeAmps

[@_rekak]

thall riff thursday

[@JoeMyvalyir]

I came, I saw.......I came again!

[@KaiDown]

You might find that you get less noise if you turn off the LEDs in your keyboard - especially when running a real amp

[@liltwotone8991]

Gnarly riff man. Maybe more harmonys??

[@niels__vdb]

10 out of 10!

[@dandilling4738]

Do you always go for the TS9 or have you considered other OD pedals? Personal fav is the Green Rhino :)

[@AUTI5T1X]

The Mick Gordon is strong with this one.

[@benhagan]

Actually sounds like something rabea will do ... 🔥🔥🔥

[@33pivot]

sounds insane ! what's the pickups ?

[@Savagewoodworker]

That last part......

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

I'm not really on youtube ( for music ), but I play my double drop D 8 string through a hartke bass amp 😂. I get all of my dirt from a pedal cbain, though.

[@Ghost17110]

Now that you have a 7 string in Drop F#, what tuning(s) are you keeping your four 8 strings in?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

I have yet to find a tuning for the green Vader since getting the new drop F# guitar but the blue Vader is in standard/drop E/A and the Osiris is in drop Eb/Ab

[@scentia_est]

I really like Nolly (plugin) more than the amp.

[@iggynub]

All it needed was an ebow over the top of everything and we have a new Opeth song! haha.

[@Highway13Productions]

Dang I could use some input on my stuff. Feel like I'm missing something

[@hardtobearit]

why not go early periphery analog they had MS/NGs and tube screamers

[@rytr0nious]

This sounds so much like a song from Conduit by Gravemind

[@delusionalbunny4577]

Is your amp plugin into a mic input in your interface? Or is it like a UAD amp top box type ?

[@michaelsinclair5876]

What chair are you using? Trying to find something decent with flippy uppy arms

[@SamBrockmann]

9/10 🎉

[@fredquevillon3727]

In the Name of God on an 8 string!

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

The way it was meant to be played

[@HA11EYS_COM3T]

Ngl kinda sad you didn’t go for any blast beats

[@mfcfbro]

This thing is chawnky.

[@KylePutman]

play keyboard bass on stage please, GOAT

[@Tofuisvegan]

The djont tho

[@ammarD]

how to you connect your amp to the plugin? i’d love to try that with my 6505.

[@MetalheadOv666]

Either mic your cab through your interface and then into your DAW. The best way is to get a reload box (Two Notes Captor) into your interface and then into your DAW with IRs instead of using a speaker cab. Can’t just hook your amp up to a plugin on your computer

[@ThatBeTheQuestion]

Not gonna lie, I think it would've been sick to repeat the first two notes on the bass at the second beat of bar five also on the first beat of that same bar, so there'd be a little bit of a bass "solo" there.

[@joaopedrobossle6931]

I was cassually playing In The Name Of God too.

[@evigkrig4386]

Vocals?

[@becominghuman3561]

What kind of e kit do you use?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

I use the Fesley FED1000

[@becominghuman3561]

@@nickbroomhallmusic nice. Thanks!

Never had one! Would love one tho

Drop Eb

[@donutsaviation2543]

Day 1 of asking to make an old school TesseracT type riff

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

You may not need to ask for long

[@F87_Frank]

What DAW do you use?

[@alex.charles2]

Logic Pro X!

[@noahcrowe4793]

Give us a 7/8 banger

[@guitarmichael]

Who’s this non hat wearing guy? Well he writes thick riffs too anyway.

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Every 2-3 business months I get a haircut and get to be hatless for a couple weeks

"Strip the silence"

You should capture that tone and make it a free nam profile. Ive always wanted a kraken preset for low stuff
