Rig Chat with Marvin Ruiz of the bands Stabbing and Devourment

[@chrispackert6250]

Super cool Marvin is playing with them, that’s gotta be a dream come true for him. Hope Chris is recovering well, the two together would be incredible. Guessing this means the next Nephilim Grinder album will be a while

[@goblinspy]

Looking forward to this! Stabbing is my favorite young band out of my home state. Bought their tabs off bandcamp and have been learning some songs. Really good stuff.

Stabbing smacks, saw them live, big energy, super legit BDM

[@sqlb3rn]

I have the jackson Jeff Loomis 7 string in drop G, it's great but mine came with a high 15th fret and needs a fret leveling job

[@FredRanes]

Does Chris Andrews continue playing as 2nd guitarist in Devourment too nowadays?

[@MrRyanshreds]

My understanding is he’s just on hiatus taking care of health problems.

[@sqlb3rn]

Eargasms are pure marketing, imo IEM > earbuds > earaser > eargasm hearos and all other of the same flange and filter designs > foamies > nothing I have used all of these trying to find the best option.

[@MrRyanshreds]

There’s definitely a lot of truth in that statement. For me though, without spending more for IEM, I’m pretty happy with the Eargasm stuff.

[@thiniceking12]

So he’s just running 6505+ with a Boss NS in the front. W/V30s ?

[@MrRyanshreds]

You got it man!

[@thiniceking12]

Can’t believe it! He’s got such a sick DM tone with a minimal setup. Wonder what he dials in.

[@MrRyanshreds]

@@thiniceking12 now that’s a good question. I’d say very scooped mids, really push the lows, high end to taste

[@yvesalob]

​@@MrRyanshredsdoes this actually work on a live setup without any eq boosting the mids? Tried semi scooping mids during rehearsals and gig, with low 60 mid 40 high 60 settings, my tone just does not cut through the band mix, using evh 5150 btw, so I was wondering if his setup is still being eq'd by sound engrs

[@MrRyanshreds]

@@yvesalob one thing is he’s the only guitarist as well. And it depends on if you’re using the exact same rig. Because a 6505 isn’t the most scooped sounding amp, so you can dial it out some, but then v30 speakers, probably mic’d with an SM57, those both produce a lot of midrange as well.

Dirt poster ftw!
