Totally agree on the Load/Reload tones. Also Garage Inc. The guitars on those records sound incredible. I'd describe the sound as heavy tone for adults who don't go to McDonald's for lunch. Full of color, texture, class and color, but also bite and muscle. I also love Petrucci's tones on Scenes From A Memory. For full on Metal brutality, nothing beats Strapping Young Lad's "City" for me. As far as clean, crunchy and vintage inspired tones go, I love what Opeth have been doing on their 70s inspired albums.

I've tried to emulate the Load guitar tone on Amplitube many times. It’s remarkably dry but has a lot of low-end punch, making it both fat and precise. There’s plenty of presence but no reverb. The ENGL Powerball is the closest amp to achieve this tone, paired with a compressor and an EQ to cut down the 8k and 16k frequencies.

@@vladibarraza Right, it's big and fat BUT has bite and is tight. I gotta play around with the Powerball more, haven't given it much attention yet.

Falling Into Infinity was easily the best Petrucci guitar sound. Everything after that has been bland.

Oh man, the tones on Load/Reload are so underrated. I dont even know how to go about recreating them .. I have never heard anything quite like it. Nice to see Load/Reload getting some appreciation.

Korn's Untouchables had an insane guitar tone. The triple rectifiers blended with Diezel VH4's, that's a tone that springs to mind. Also, the guitar tone on Dimmu Borgir's Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, that one is so brutal, yet with such clarity. That's the album that got me thinking about ENGL amps.

@northtimo666 2 ай бұрын

Untouchables is the ultimate tone for me! So sick.

@jackflynn-oakley1937 2 ай бұрын

My favourite guitar tone is on Ulcerate 'Stare Into Death And Be Still'. Full range, medium gain, so articulate, bright and clear. Perfect tone.

@pale_matter 2 ай бұрын

KSE - As Daylight Dies and Parkway Drive - Horizons for me lately. Anything Adam D did in this era is out of this world, it's crazy to me that it's still pretty much the gold standard for metal tones nearly 20 years later!

Great Video, this is Not a best of (sorry so many) but the actual impact of these Guitarists and their sound truly changed me. the songs are imo the best examples of the tone. Iommi-War Pigs, Randy Rhoads-Believer, Warren D'Martini-Lay it Down, Prince-Bambi, Megadeth-Sweating Bullets, Pantera-Walk, Queensryche-mn156, Dokken-Into The Fire, Mötley Crüe-Looks That Kill, Underoath-In Regards To Myself, Opeth-Heir Apparent, Agathodaemon-Ghost of a Soul, Chimaira-Coming Alive, Coram Lethe-Splendid Chaos, Deftones-Minerva, Dio-The Last in Line, Fear Factory-Decent, Grave-bullets are mine, Helmet-Harmless, Ministry-Stigmata, Neurosis-enemy of the sun, Obituary-The end complete, Omnium Gatherum-Soul Journeys, Pestilence-Spheres(whole album, Prong-Cleansing(whole album), Sentenced-New Age Messiah, Textures-Old days born anew, Wintersun-Winter Madness. and an Honorable Mention to everything Steve Howe does.

Funny coincidence - I had Chevelle in mind. Vena Sera is also cool even though the amount of gain is maybe over the top. They seriously have some of the best guitar tones and once again MESA MARK IV babyyy!!

@@mlsoundlab Yes! Vena Sera is a great album (and IMO, their last good one). The mix on the album is probably Michael Baskette's best. Been a minute since I've listened to it, probably rectify that tomorrow.

Great vid. Some for me: Black Album, Daylight, Heartache, Untouchables, RIP, Clayman (great but not perfect, def set the scene), honorary: Jester/Whoracle/Colony/Foregone/Soundtrack/Reroute, Reign, RTL, Heartwork, Doomsday Machine. There are plenty of great tones, but the peaks are so high--plus each new album needs its own thing. Tbh, a decent amount of engs have a decent bit to go--not to spread negativity, just there're so many good methods but equally as many "bad".

Maybe a wild take, but for me the tone on Catch 33 is perfect. I love how mid heavy It sounds

@ar156 2 ай бұрын

For me "Master of Puppets" tone is one of my favorites (I could listen to "disposable heroes" any day and think, that's it, that's a perfect metal tone), then there are some tones I loved throughout the years and later I realized they were all albums produced by Colin Richardson: Carcass's "heartwork", Machine head's "Burn my eyes" and Fear factory's "demanufacture", all those to my ears are perfect

@cunjoz 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, definitely Train of Thought. They did some magic with the road masters on that album. The tone is fat and fuzzy, but at the same time it cuts with the mids and it's articulate.
