Re: Necrophagist tone
He's in a newer Ibanez ad for some new guitar of theirs. I think it's called the Xiphos. Anywho, it's loaded with DiMarzio D-Activatior pickups, which are supposed to embody lots of qualities of EMGs.
I know nothing of his amp or pedals.

Re: Necrophagist tone
He now plays the Ibanez Xiphos which is equipped with Dimarzio D Activator pups. He uses Engl SE Heads with the Eng Pro Cabs V30s) or the SE Preamp as far as i know. I'm not so sure about the ISP though. His tone is pretty much pure Engl and i guess it's rather the ISP Decimator noisegate(thinking about all the start-stops he does) and not an external distortion.

Re: Necrophagist tone
He does not use a distortion pedal, at all.
Epitaph was recorded with a Vigier Marilyn with a Duncan Custom in the bridge, through an ENGL 860 Rackhead, and a Laney 4x12 cabinet. Was mic'd with an SM57 and one other mic that the producer still wont tell anyone about.

Hmmm, may can you perhaps give a link of any of those tracks with that particular set up. I've heard that Laney's cabs are just par at best. Thanks.

It was one of the way old ones, with the expanded metal grill (like on Legacy cabs).
http://www.myspace.com/Necrophagist - anything off Epitaph.

Horses for courses - just spell the bands name correctly.

Re: Necrophagist tone
It's only two tracks, and yeah, it was way unhyped, but it's also super clean, clear, and articulate.
Funny... people complain about Necrophagist's tone, but not about LoG's, even though it's even thinner.

Re: Necrophagist tone
I really don't see why you'd want a thick tone for that type of playing. And yeah, the LoG guys have much more of an old-school Slayer type of tone (read: way thinner).

Re: Necrophagist tone
Oh man i'm excited if we're moving on to LoG's tone now. Yea, i agree it is super thin, and if you've seen them live you know how crappy Mark Morton usually sounds with his Marx IV's. I cant even make out the notes when he solos. At least Will adler uses a darker amp and pickup when he plays live, he uses the JB and Framus amps to get a live tone that doesnt sound like perpetual treble shrieks. On recording they both use the Mark IV through an Orange 2x12 and only guitars with duncan 59's.
