New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

[CGord]

Power Ballad???

'51: clean parts, neck pup

HellRaiser: everything else. Bridge 81 for high-gain rhythm & solo on heavy part, neck 85 for the rest.

Like a power ballad from HELL........ J/K

Squier powers shall unite to take over the world.....

That main lead line really sticks in my head, perfect for that track. Quite hypnotic.

Ugh...just caught my flub in the title..."SQUIER", lol

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

I like it.

I don't think I could even play it.
I put vibrato on everything.

Even sounds good through my crappy laptop speakers.

Glad you liked it! I do wiggle the strings on this one, but I made a conscious effort to keep it very light. I have a tendency to bend notes clean off the side of the neck, & this amp patch gets that real sweet right-on-the-edge-of-feedback sound if you hold the note steady.

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

Thanks again guys!

I've made a few changes; redid the last 4 bars of the solo, extended the clean change part in front of the solo, & also added that change to the fadeout.

Forgot to mention: guitars tuned AEAEAE, bass tuned AEADG.

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

That lead tone is really good. What amp models, and effects were used?

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

Uberschall, 4x12 v30, boost, delay, reverb, chorus. You want I should upload a patch?

 

[bigheadood]

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

ubershall, that one sounds very harsh on my PODxt. plus the controls are weird.

I usually use the diety lead for uh....lead. but it doesn't sound quite as big.

Yes, please post the patch.

Curt,
is your 51 stock??

 

[CGord]

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

Yes. I planned on changing pups right after buying it, but I'm still digging the stockers.

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

Thanks, glad you dug it!

bigheadood, something I remembered about the lead patch; I did some post eq'ing on this track (I always do). I added some mids (I could screenshot the eq settings tonight if desired) & that really woke it up as far as sitting in the mix. I might've cut the bottom a bit, too, can't recall. But I know I bumped the mids up.

Re: New clip, Squire '51, Schecter Hellraiser

Thanks.
I tried out this patch last night. Reduced treble just a touch, added mids, just a little bit, and reduced chorus. Great lead tone. Had a 2-hour shred fest.
I will definitely find a use for this tone in future recordings.

Much Appreciated,
Nick
