Metal guys, what is your current setup?

Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

Sosomething --> Where can you get such a rig diagram done?

Thanks.

Currently it is now, after I got my ENGL sold today:

Charvel 375 Deluxe/Kramer Mutt --> TS-9, Distortion+, Distortion III, Tsunami chorus, Phase 90, DD-5, Delayla --> Marshall JCM2000 DSL 100watt head --> Marshall 1982 4x12" bottom cabinet :)

Sounds killer :)

Jacksons with Duncan pickups (Full Shred, Invader or JB) into this pedalboard:

From there, it's on to a Peavey Classic 60 or Classic 50/50 tube power amp and Jackson 4x12 cab. I was lugging around a Peavey VTM-60 head before that, but realized one day that there was no need for anything more than a power amp.

The two units on the upper left, a Hush II and ART Tube EQ, will be replaced with pedals by the end of the month. For small stages or out-of-town shows where vehicle space is limited, I use a Boss ME-50 in place of the usual pedal rig. All I really need is distortion, delay, noise gate and a tuner, so it covers all the bases.
 
Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

Ex:
Gibson Explorer -> TS -> Marshall 2203 (Glam metal)

"Glam Metal????" Not quite! I use a very similar set-up and the Metal I play is definetley NOT glam!

Gibson V (Duncan SH-6 & SH-2) > Peterson Strobostomp > Barber Launch Pad (Line Driver/Buffer) > Barber Tone Press (Lead Boost) > Barber Direct Drive Super Sport (TS style OD) > Boss CE-2 > 1982 Marshall JCM 800 2204 (EL 34 - stock) > Marshall 1960 A 4x12 (Celestion 75 watt speakers).

I use this rig for either traditional Metal (Iron Maiden, Dio, Judas Priest) or Death/Thrash Metal (Angelcorpse, Destroyer 666, Morbid Angel). The tone is heavy as Hell, crunchy and full of mid-range grind. It bares NO resemblance to any 80s "Butt Rock/Glam" tones whatsoever.

Cheers,

CJ

Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

Ibanez 1527 with a BareKnuckle Miracle Man in the bridge
it goes to Ibanez Weeping Demon wah-->Digitech Whammy-->Rocktron rampage-->MXR 10 band EQ-->Boss TU2--> VOX AD 50...

But it's going to change soon
The TU2 is going to be replaced with a strobostomp II ,The AD50 will be changed with an Engl Special edition ,and the Rocktron would have no use anymore ,so i am going to give to a good friend of mine!

he future plans on effects are a Eventide Eclipse ,and a decent Midi controler.

Eclipse and Engl Special edition is metal!More metal is not available!:D
 
Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

Cool, could you do me one, someday perhaps?

I guess - it's not really that big of a job. If I have some free time today I'll try to throw one together for you, providing I can find the right graphics.
 
Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

i don't play metal a lot, but we covered whisky in the jar (metallica style) once.
i ran the following setup quite well:
strat(middle+bridge) -> morley volume -> sansamp nyc (cali channel wide open) -> engl thunder
(112 combo, celestion v30) + 112 cab (eminence governor)

Well, this ought to do it. It's pretty much how you describe.

I had to make graphics for a few of the pedals because there weren't any examples on guitargeek, but here it is:

edit - image updated in reply

Hope that works for ya! :)

Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

Gibson LP's with very low output Duncans (AII Pro's, Pearly's, '59's) straight into Diezel Herbert, Mesa Oversize V30, 4x12's. I don't just do metal with it, though, I also do classic stuff.
 
Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

It goes:

Wah --> Drives (TS-9 - Dist 3 - Dist +) -> Amp.

FX Loop Send -> DD5 -> Delayla -> Phase 90 -> Tsunami -> Return :)
 
Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

That is awesome :D

Only 1 tiny tiny thing, its a 1982 cabinet, not a 1984.

If you want to change it, could you possibly add the speakers? They are Celestion Lead80s.


Thanks, and sorry for the inconvinience mate :)
 
Re: Metal guys, what is your current setup?

Well pal, you could probably do that yourself with MS Paint. Just open up the image and erase the text you want to change and type the new stuff in. :)
