[@anseljames5531]

I really want this guitar so badly

[@matthrsy]

Would recommend its an awesome 8 string, high quality

[@josephsakoda5761]

Great cover! Can I ask what you are doing to get that tone? Amp settings, presets, modeling?

[@matthrsy]

Thank you🤘🏻 its literally a basic gain tone from the Fortin Nameless Suite pushing the mids, with the Waves SSL EV2 compressor. I found i started with super high gain and then rolled it back a lot as the tone was too sharp and dropped the bass too so that its a lot of mids. Hope this helps!

[@luk7n]

@@matthrsy I knew it, when you push the mids on guitars it starts to have balls

[@Myqq._]

​@@matthrsyYeah avoid bass when you're dealing with distortion on 8/9 string guitars

[@stevenpullum4733]

I had to back up. That fucking Pull was NAAAASTY nice.

I’m late as hell but damn good cover!!!

[@degaminx8301]

Hi! If im not wrong this guitar is a 27" scale, how does it handle drop d#1 tuning? Great cover!

[@matthrsy]

@@degaminx8301 hey thanks so much! Handles d#1 just fine, I use 9-80’s for drop E, i would ideally like an 82g but no one makes them! You do feel like its a little loose for d#1 but im quite picky about tension so for the average player it would be just fine. Might want to think about the next gauges up perhaps but worth giving 9-80’s a shot first

[@degaminx8301]

@@matthrsy aight, thank you so much!

[@anxiousx]

SLEEP TOKEN IS AN ACTUAL GOD BEHIND THAT MASK

[@luk7n]

Love it, but I still prefer the nasty tone from EMG´s on your ESP

[@matthrsy]

The ESP has something special about it for sure 👌🏻⚡️

[@DarthJAYder21]

Do you like the necks on the Ibanez or the ESP EII TB7 more? And out of the two brands, which do you feel sound better, feels better and stays in tune more. I'm tossing up between the TB7 snow white or the RG2027xl Prestige, hard decision :(

[@matthrsy]

I never liked how thin ibanez necks are i prefer a little more to hold, so the ESP is perfect for me for 7 string playing (its not that much thicker than an RG 7, but just enough for me to have a little more comfort). However, the ibanez prestige 8 I love how thin the neck is because its compensated by a wider neck for the extra string which makes it super easy to play coming from 7, and i dont think i would want an 8 thicker than the ibanez neck so that part is down to personal preference! Ibanez necks are easier to get to the 24 fret but the ESP is still comfortable up that high. Both stay in tuned equally as well as each other, i personally think the ESP sounds better and feels super high end (ive played mayones and other high end metal guitars and ESP is my fav) however an ibanez prestige is still really good quality and worth every penny so its down to whichever you like best! You’ll like both which ever you choose, ESP comes out on top for me in the 7 string world, but when it comes to 8 i would say ibanez are the best! Hope this helps dude, any other questions please let me know!

[@DriftwoodDOTA2]

What pickups did you use in this video?

[@matthrsy]

Dimarzio Fusion Edge 8's, people often swap them out but I think they're great all round pickups

[@donkeith7775]

Damn what string gauges you using for D#??

[@matthrsy]

Thanks man! Using 9-80 NYXL set, its perfect for drop E, D# is a bit floppy for my liking 👍🏻

[@chadbass8218]

I love your videos dude do more and much more of the view of that cool ass tat you have

[@matthrsy]

Thanks so much dude will do 🤘🏻
