I actually forgot I had this amp sim haha Gonna have to give it another go after this vid 🤘🏽

[@kdflhx10]

The new release jams! Maybe it's just me and my car audio system but the highs on the cymbals tend to be a little mushy if I had to critique one thing. Might just be my equipment/ear

[@Marcus-g5c6d]

Ok Rob . I've been out loop with your channel for a few months now. I know Slap me. lol been on a black metal binge. So I just found out you Released Menace on my Birthday dude . I don't celebrate my birthday but Today I AM with your Album. THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🤘🤘

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey happy birthday bro! I hope you enjoy Menace! 🤘

[@MichelJay]

Wow, the world needs a hero (like : NOW !) and your Patreon members need a transcription of this (like : ASAP) ! Happy new year, btw.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Happy New Year to you too brother! And so far we've got Sins Of Sorrow available on Patreon, and we'll be working on the rest of the tunes soon too!

[@Marcus-g5c6d]

An Ibanez Gio in Drop D on a Marshall sounds Good too . Your tone is Chunky and Razor sharp

[@EyevsI]

It's a tough world when you LOVE to squeal, pinch harmonics or as I like to call them... Squidly doots, but the best recorded tone has less gain with possibly an added 2-3 db eq boost in the upper midrange to get it to stand out. Don't even get me started on really low tuning. :)

[@Diogrus]

Pretty dope guitar tones. And even more impressive is seeing JST Menace in there, as it has been released a good while ago and probably wouldn't be one of my first choices.

[@ricksmithwick6199]

"There's no substitute for the right tool for the job". Words to live by indeed. Heavy Metal Over Everything!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

👊🛠️

[@RyRyTheBassGuy]

You a menace for not having the track and channel colors match.

[@corymurphy220]

I have the JST toneforge misha plugin. Similar interface. I get good tones out of it. I know some ppl dont like it. Love ur content man. Keep rockin.

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

I’ve always seen that Menace plug-in but never got it. That’s awesome that you used it for this. Sounds killer. So you only record one track for left guitar and one track for right guitar? You don’t double?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Correct! The only album I've ever been a part of with quad tracked rhythms is Chimaira's Self Titled record. And well, I think the guitar tone on that album speaks for itself!🤘

[@LiveFromTheRaw]

I wish ESP would continue making guitars with that vintage head again. LOVE that headstock compared to the one they use nowadays…

[@MichelJay]

I've got the "Menace" plug in in my DAW and never thought of using it.... thanks for reminding us it sounds killer !!! Btw, the more I listen to Menace (the EP) the more I think it's a killer album, one of my top metal offerings from 2023.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Awesome! Happy to hear that about Menace bro! 🤘

[@orokusaki7595]

Love your approach and influences on guitar tha groove and those wild eastern lead licks you’re my guy Rob thank you sir

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🙏👊🤘

[@IndependenceGuitar]

Really cool. I would not have expected that. I remember going through an insanely long list of presets and amps with a recording engineer while tracking my songs a few years back, and didn’t like a single one. Turns out pro tools has that amp in it stock? That would have been nice to know 😆. But I’ve also learned quite a bit since then. Like you said, the tones that sound good while playing by yourself, are usually not the ones that will sound good in a mix. This Rob, this is really cool.

[@iamgribs]

Sounds great. Ima snap this album up.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🤘

[@smeemusic]

I used the tone forge menace on a song for a customer back in I think 2017. To this day when I work with him (currently have a project with him now) he still raves about that guitar tone and overall mix I did on the song. Just like a week ago I emailed JST and refreshed my install for menace and I figure I’ll try to use it on another one of his songs if it fits. Only problem is here lately he’s been giving me more rock songs to work with so I’ve been using my ML sound labs ml800 plugin which is a killer plugin for rock.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Right on! Nice to hear there's a community of dudes using Menace!

[@DOUGLASaraujosoares]

Thank you so much! This is so nice to see!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Right on!🤘

[@DOUGLASaraujosoares]

The fun part is that I have a hardwave version of this plugin, the eleven rack, and it is very sick guitar modeler@@RobArnoldWorld

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Yeah man! I remember when Avid was giving the hardware units away for free with the purchase of Pro Tools! My buddy got one and I always wished I had too!@@DOUGLASaraujosoares

[@DOUGLASaraujosoares]

It's amazing how well the plugin/hardware respond to the guitar and the picking, very very nice tones@@RobArnoldWorld

[@M.C.R.SYNTRN]

Happy new year my man!! All the best for what lies ahead 👊🏼

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Likewise bro! 👊

[@morrigan08]

Happy New Year Rob! All the best for the number 1 🎸🎶 😊 love and cheers !! ❤

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey great to see you! Cheers and Happy New Year to you as well! 🤘

[@morrigan08]

@@RobArnoldWorld thank you so much its always great to see you !!!! and have this chance to listen to you play 💗💗even when you are explaining technical things 😅 . cheers!! 🤘🏻

[@tobins6800]

Thank you for this rig run down. I liked how stripped down it is sonically. More garage like if you will.

[@stillshyftee]

I love these vids, even though when I hit the record button I forget how to play guitar

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Practice makes perfect bro! 🎸

[@chriscurl3636]

Happy New Years Rob Arnold 🥂🎉🤘

[@RobArnoldWorld]

You too my man! Thank for all of your support! 👊

[@jeremyv3010]

Very cool video Rob. I love the “use the tool that’s right for the job” comment. With so many amazing guitar plug ins out there, it’s cool you used mostly an out of the box one and got the killer sound that you did. It’d be cool to see a very similar video but for the drum sound you got on Menace. I believe you use Superior Drummer, right?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey thanks man! Yep, my go-to kit is the NY Avatar kit in SD2. I pretty much use it on everything, with some manipulation on a per-project basis of course. But I think it may be time for something new soon! 🤘🥁

[@jeremyv3010]

@@RobArnoldWorld - Awesome. I really want to try Superior Drummer. I use GetGoodDrums alongside their Smash and Grab plugin and they sound great. I also bought the new EZDrummer. I don’t use it for the drum tones but this new version has a ton of really cool songwriting and drum programming tools. They have this new “humanize” feature that allows you to easily transform a beat “on the grid” into a much more human beat by changing velocity and placement of the hits. It’s a game changer.

[@mattschostek2274]

New album RULES!!!🤘🔥🔥🤘

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks bro!🤘

[@619dar]

Love the guitar tone on this album. I'm sure that your gonna get asked why use amp sims to the record the album. Instead of just using your amps. After watching all the amp sims video's lately I can see why you have gone with this choose. Your reply to my Question Maybe you should do one with your guitar. The guitar that came to mind was the video that you did for how to intonate a guitar. The video was done about 4 years ago now. I'm not to sure how often you use that guitar or if you still got it Rob.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Ahh! The ESP GL-56! That's a George Lynch custom! I love that guitar, and still rock it all the time! 🎸

[@trevorphilips9484]

I wouldn't have expected that. Lovely tone though. Fits perfectly.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

[@calitheguitarist]

So with Chimaira doing at least a few shows this upcoming year, hopefully with quite a few more specifically in Nashville 😉, have you ever thought of playing your solo album tracks live?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Sure! But not with Chimaira. It would be the other way around where if I went and did some shows as Rob Arnold, I'd do a mix of my solo material, some Chimaira tunes, some Elite tunes, etc. A little something for everyone! Would you come see the show?

[@calitheguitarist]

@@RobArnoldWorld well that IS what I meant. If you were open to doing like a solo tour and playing these tracks live. Hellyeah I’d be at the show.

[@blackdiamondcleaningservices]

​@@RobArnoldWorldthat would be incredible.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Alrighty! It's definitely something I'm considering!🤘@@calitheguitarist

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I'll see you there! 🤘@@blackdiamondcleaningservices

[@GillRigged]

You and I are both growing out our hair again and about at the same length 🫡

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Right on! This coming April will be three years for me. I figure I've got another three years to go until I've got it right where I want it!

[@GillRigged]

@@RobArnoldWorld oh shit. I started last March after seeing my guy Mike Leon and Soulfly. 😬

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Well if you say we're at about the same length, you must have had a better head start then! 🤣@@GillRigged

[@GillRigged]

@@RobArnoldWorld my hair has always grown really fast. However, is your hair all one length? Mine isn't, and therefore we probably aren't at the same length. I was going by what I could see. 🤘

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Haha yeah the thing about me, is that you can go back three years and see exactly what I started from in any of my KZbin vids! Very short and all the same length. @@GillRigged

[@DJ_Kelpie]

Why plugins over something like a captor x?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

It was just easier. Not superior by any means, but simply easier.

[@DJ_Kelpie]

@@RobArnoldWorld can't argue with that lol
