Lamb of God.... Compressor/Gate?

Re: Lamb of God.... Compressor/Gate?

ya I saw a recent periphery video and they give a breakdown of their rigz

they use compressor AND noisegate for their chugga chugga riffage, they keep those pedals on the whole time. I saw them live and the mix sounds so-so to me live.

Actually, they use two noise gates, one in front of and one after a tube screamer style pedal. The compressors are just used because they make "everything sound better."

Here's the clip:

It's not a matter of tightening up the amp, it's more a matter of cleaning up the signal coming from the guitar. The tightest amp in the world will sound like a mess if you feed it a messy signal.

OK, have to clear some things up. Don't quite understand.

When you say messy signal, you mean messy pups, or messy playing?
When they say tight sound do they mean, rhythmically tight or dynamically ...those guys from Lamb of God?

I don't know how to break it down in text. You'll just have to figure it out for yourself.
