Killer guitar!! almos as good as the evangelion t-shirt

[@davidlamothe8586]

Tip for lower tuning: Turning your tone knob all the way down and using the neck pickup will help your tuner process the fundamental note, making it a much more precise job without your pedal going nuts.

[@ThorsShadow]

This. This so much. This thing alone is why I'd probably always want to have a tone knob on my guitar.

[@burneraccounthandle]

I didn’t know this, thank you

[@jeremyduran8896]

Dude, thank you a thousand times over lmao. I thought it was something funky with the fishmans.

The meaning behind having 2 volume knobs is you get a free kill switch without having an extra switch.

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

That looks so much better than the standard silver mountain. Might have to get one of these.

[@d4mdcykey]

Holy hell, that thing is truly a work of art that would be appropriate in a display case in a museum.

[@Hellscrap3r]

I really wanted a C-8 Hellraiser, but I have now changed my mind. This is my new favourite.

[@connormcinerney7503]

@@iangarza990 With a 27" scale, definitely going to have to disagree with you there. If we're sticking with Ibanez, I'd recommend the M8M for that 29.4" scale if no neck pickup and how expensive it is doesn't matter to you. Outside of Ibanez, if you can track down an Agile 830, I'd say that's probably one of the best 8 strings out there in terms of spec and for the money. This is all personal preference though, so take what I said with a grain of salt

[@paracite366]

Honestly so stoked that you played a track from "Humanity's Last Breath"! Those guys are killing it! Also I would love to see you play "Harm" by them! Those guitar parts are👌👌👌🔥

[@Ryo7_7]

Ooooweee. I have the 7 string Omen Extreme with push pull tone knob and it rocks. Can tell that looks even more fun to play lol. 🤘🏾

[@thepenismightier8120]

I bought my first schecter 5 years ago and won't play anything else. I just love the way they feel and sound.

[@HoneyCultured]

I’ve always been a six string kind of guy but wow this is awesome 😎

[@seanbirch2118]

I really haven't ever wanted to get a 7 string until I started watching your videos lol

[@Matthillguitar]

Having two volumes can blend the neck and Bridge pickups or you can turn one down and have a killswich like effect

[@brett5569]

This guitar looks sick!

[@Schecter31]

I saw the Silver Mountain come out last year and grabbed one ASAP, all they had was the silver color at the time. My favorite color is red, so I was pretty sad when I saw they came out with these two new colors a few months later. Finally just ordered my C-7 tonight after eyeballing it for so long. Can't wait. I am a little worried though, I've never played a MS guitar before.

[@MaestroJericho]

Did you end up keeping the pickups?

[@MrJoHnConsTanTine1]

0:40 perfect mix. Tone is just brutal.

[@kanepedersen8930]

Imo I kinda liked the muddiness without the boost, for some reason in my ears it sounded sooooo nice.

[@Duckeggmike]

Same

[@TorqueBow]

Yeah hard agree here

[@lunapocrophy]

agreed. much warmer. the boost made it sound a little too harsh for me.

[@JoshTheGingerProductions]

@@lunapocrophy not even sure how to describe it. But yeah it sort of sounded a little too harsh to put it in your terms. Like it was stacking too many effects? I really don’t know. If there was a middle ground between the stock sound and boosted maybe that would be better

[@jaserhodesaudio3318]

@@JoshTheGingerProductions buster from humanity's last breath actually does that. he turns the mix knob on his od pedal somewhere between 20-30%

[@williamstm92]

I might just get this red one for the color alone lol I live my silver one but both the green and red ones look way better. Awesome demo man.

[@KrisSchwarz98]

You should make more ambient / clean tone songs because I love your ambient playing style

[@knix9618]

Pure 8 String beast Axee!!

[@paulfrohlich6473]

@12:40 The two volume knobs are a perfect tool to adjust your tone in detail. they are responsible, i never have to use another guitar again...! ^^

[@DielectricFailure]

*I was hoping this would get brutal quick. 🎧👑🎵🎸 I didn’t know if I was the only one playing power chords on the bottom strings but I found they are thick!*

[@kristopherrobert645]

Hell yeah!

[@VirgoKing89]

Awesome! ❤️💀👍🏽🙌🏽

[@themorrigan1312]

Personally, I do find use in having individual volume knobs, but only because of my immediate situation. I have no distortion pedals, so I'm stuck using the overdrive built into my Blackstar HT-1R with the gain cranked to hell and back, and it's alot easier and faster for me to flip over to the neck pickup, where I have the volume really low to get a moderately successful clean tone or to the neck for more of a typical overdriven sound than it is to lean down, reach over and toggle the overdrive on the amp and/or fiddle with the gain knob. Otherwise 1v/1t will do just fine

[@yourmother7504]

Having two volume knobs is great for jamming with other people because u can switch the pickup to mute yourself instead of having to turn the knob all the way down. U can also do cool mute unmute switch stuff with it :) - other than that, it's not super useful😂

[@nathanieldoy2151]

Well that thing is just beautiful

[@MaestroJericho]

Just got the 6 and I love it. I love the pickups for the 6 but I could see why the pickups wouldn't work for ERG.

[@jmcsquared18]

I have one of these now. It is literally flawless through a 5150III EL34 100 watt head. However, that amp makes everything perfectly tight. So, if you have a more standard setup, I imagine these pickups would be too muddy.

[@WarframeCrunch]

12:46 Well The tone knob could go away since I'm too not playing with tone. And the volume knob for bridge would also go away. With bring Bridge pickup I would like to add a small bit of neck pickup volume so that knob could stay. And ofcourse work for Split coils. I would buy silver version but there is not 9 string version and also the pickups are too muddy. I would like to have good quality not muddy pickups since other stuff can make sound even more muddy so that can kill the sound quality.

[@dismal2576]

Well, a new composition for Carcosa has arrived ! :)

[@TorqueBow]

I need STAY TIGHT on a shirt immediately lmao

[@uy.studios]

Now we need a Reaper 8. Pretty please Schecter.

[@brandonhayes161]

They have the green in an 8 string on their website! But damn I wish I had those pedals you're running, they don't even make the hades gate anymore :(

[@ModernDayMalice]

Stay tight merch for the love of everything

[@a.fortier6960]

Checking my EQ settings, bass melted!

[@ryanbollinger1759]

I have the standard C8 silver mountain but I’m having such a hard time dialing in a good tone, I’m using a Marshall origin 20 amp and an MXR Prime distortion pedal. Anyone have any tips?

[@thefakefrydryce6304]

I have a schecter omen 6 and it’s my fav guitar ever I’m trying to save up for a demon 7 but I love schecter

[@veenoir1991]

I have an O6 as well, diamond series. Ive had it for 16 years lol. I was going to get the papa roach sig which was basically the same but red with a cockroach on the body and one inlay. I figured id be saying "fck that band" in a few years so i went with the blue diamond. My favorite guitar, along with the Hellraiser. Cool story eh

[@thefakefrydryce6304]

@Spiritual Abortion yeah I mean I love my omen 6 for passive pickups it sounds amazing but when I played the demon 7 at a gc I wanted it so badly😂

[@LVLwithART]

Sick Tee... I guess the guitar is pretty sweet as well.

[@carrollcopeland]

What do u think of that BC Rich shredzilla 8 prophecy?

[@whiskeysoul89]

I bought this in the silver version. Really comfortable to play but the pickups really suck. Thinking about returning and saving for something better

[@MrButterscotch1]

Absolutely monstrous riffing here. Amazing work Andrew. You make me wish I was a so much better 8 string player 🥲

[@ripit.3457]

Sooo are you getting to keep this one, or is it going to be just for the demo?

[@ZolFox]

Just bought one of these and just got it literally a couple days ago. Haven’t even had it long enough to do a cover with it on my channel. Oh I got the 7 string model cuz I already have the Hellraiser C-8 that works great for all my Meshuggah covers. Kinda wish I didn’t have to pay fuckin $1300 for it considering how broke I am. Free sure does sound nice.

[@nicholassolomon1234]

What cut do y ou ask for at the barber?

[@AyeeKyro]

i would love to get one but they told me they're never doing a left handed version of this guitar which sucks because all they gotta do is change the paint job

[@brandanmaza2413]

I want it

[@mohdaizinasri8372]

I have the same Shirt!

[@onionheadguy7094]

Yeah but what boost pedal homie? Or did you say what is was and I missed it. Good boosts for metal are something I'm having trouble finding out about. Except for the tube screamer. I've heard a lot about the tube screamer.. A LOT

[@kylewoollett582]

That lead tone sounds surreal. Is there a set of plugins you're using for your delay and reverb?

[@BaenaCarcosa]

It's the Archetype Plini plugin

[@JamesPhillipsOfficial]

I could buy it but honestly run out of space in my bedroom, need own house asap lol

[@RobinLeneutre]

Starting a video with Humanity's Last Breath 😈 HELL YEAH! Isn't 27inch a bit light for Drop E?

[@BaenaCarcosa]

All of my 8 strings other than the Ormsby have always been 27" and it's never been an issue for me 🤷‍♂️

[@RobinLeneutre]

@@BaenaCarcosa that’s nice to know! I’ve only be looking for 28 inches but you gotta stretch those fingers on the low frets haha! Thanks dude!

[@HeyItsHypno]

@@BaenaCarcosa will drop c1 be good on a 27.5 in multi scale 8?

[@crashbangpow1649]

Must be a combination of gear and your playing but that sounds tight as heck!

[@MaestroJericho]

Actually I don't think its the pickups that cause the mudiness. Its mahogany neck and body so I find they're just darker. Especially for low tunings. They'll sound thicc though.

[@donnyekapratamaputra5386]

What your tuning use??

I preordered from zzounds a week or two ago, but it looks like I did it too late; now it's on backorder with no ship date in sight =(

Not gonna lie I'm a ESP/Takamine fan boy, but Schecter is really tempting me. Especially if they have a left handed version.

I am the same way. I have two ESP E-ii's but I'm so tempted to get this.

[@spacejamgoliath]

Has locking tuners but someone strung it up like it doesn't

[@AlwayzTired]

I had the silver mountain C8 and while I loved the guitar itself, the scale seemed too short for drop E, and the pickups were terribly disappointing. Would have loved some Duncan Blackouts, EMGs, or Fishman Fluence Moderns instead.

[@damientoth9133]

any advice on getting tight and bight brutal sounding amp tone like that with 8 strings. my tones always sound so muddy

[@Treggify]

Focus on mids and treble. You don’t need as much low end as you think. A tube screamer or similar boost will help too. Fresh strings that are well made. If your guitar is active, make sure you have power.

[@damientoth9133]

@@Treggify thank you brother!

[@ejw3006]

This is from a year ago but also mess with post EQ stuff to do more fine tuning to boost the frequencies you want and cut the ones you don’t
