This is gonna be one of the BEST Heavy Metal shows ever to be produced, and its rightful host definitely knows what he’s talking about because he’s literally playing in a real life Metal band, even kicking it off by shredding to “Crystal Mountain” by DEATH really makes it more EPIC ☠️ 💀 ⛰ 🏔 🎸 🤘 ☝️
Really enjoyed the pilot. As someone who has always been a little overwhelmed with all the gear, an episode about what you view as some essential first purchases in terms of pedals, amps, etc would be cool.
I like this idea but like some of the others have said it may not bring in the viewership. Now if Dekay would like to put something like this out on his own.... I would watch it
I love this one and all the other pilots. I'm a guitar player too and been playing in local Rock/Metal bands in my town for many years. Thanks to guitar and instrument magazines I found my hobbies in life: music production and equipment.
For local dive bar gigging where "turn me up in the monitor" is not always an option, one trick I found useful was to have a stereo power amp, each side going to it's own cab (stacked 1x12's in my case). The soundman has one cab miced of course, you get the volume set on that side with him and don't touch it. The other non-miced side can essentially be your own personal monitor. Point it right at your head, adjust volume as needed (within reason, without overpowering anything of course)
I want to learn about Billy Sheehan's bass rig, if you're going to have guests. His sound is crazy clean and still beefy. That's really hard to do. I'm sure his impeccable technique is part of it, but I'm sure he's also got some fun tricks up his sleeve.
I use theM XR/CAE MC401 (18V) as a clean boost into the crunch channel of my Peavey JSX for my rhythm tone and the MXR M77 Custom Badass Modified O.D. as a boost into the Ultra channel of my JSX as my lead tone, all controlled by a Boss MS-3 so channels, boosts, and delays are selected with one tap. The MXR pedals are excellent. Always use an angled plug into a guitar output jack unless it is a Strat type recessed jack
Great video! I love how you have stickers on your pedals and amps for frequently used/most used settings. That's such a good idea! Also, I've been trying to find a good octave pedal and I have an awesome one in my Digitech Whammy, but it doesnt play well with my other pedals/pedal board, so I'm trying to find one as good as it. I've got a Gojira Effects Octave Generator and I don't love it. My question is, does the TC Electronics Sub N Up Mini Octaver sound as good as their regular one? Awesome video!
Cool series. Will look forward to see where this goes. Could be awesome with a Criss Oliva (Savatage) Rig run down. Though he passed in 93 his tone is IMO still the grestest heavy metal lead tone of all time. I am sure Savatage members like Chris Caffery and Jon Oliva, and of course former guitar techs have some good inputs on how his rig was during the heydays in the late 80's.
With my Schecters that have recessed Floyds I can just put a heavy drink coaster under the fine tuners (between the fine tuners and the top) and then I can take off all of the strings without the bridge pulling down. On the Ibanez Edge style trems it is more difficult but I actually have one of those plastic tools for removing interior trims in the car that you can jam in there and then take the strings off. Useful if you want to clean frets or whatever.
I'll be honest, I was expecting this to be a lot more "Hi I'm Daniel Dekay. Watch me shred and talk about my stuff and what I've done, yay me!" but it's actually been kinda interesting and I can see how this could progress and improve by looking at other players, talking to other musicians, maybe getting into other gear or techniques (I think A-Bing stuff would help a lot there. So something then the same thing with the pedal he's on about, for instance) but yeah, pleasantly surprised and I apologise for making an assumption straight away
owwww, that was a really tough decision. I guess what would make this series even more epic... would be if Dekay gets also other Artists on board, from different genres. Giving smaller bands also the oportunity to introduce themself. speaking with them about their biggest failures or favorite piece of equipment i dont know, what do you guys think?
I'm not saying this pilot is bad, not at all, Daniel is a killer guitar player, and a great dude, but with all due respect to him if I wanted to see a guitar player test guitars, and pedals and tell touring stories I either: a) would take Mr. Dekay out for a couple of beers, or b) would see that kind of content on the gazillion other guitar-led YT channels (like Ola Englund's channel). I also want to point out that Banger's story began with "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", with an anthropological point of view on metal, followed by "Global Metal". That being said, I'd think that "Fabric of Metal" is the one pilot kinda closest to that original idea.
I do really like this pilot as a gear nerd myself. hopefully it does take off, though i do understand that not everyone who listens to metal is a musician. but look at that *like* ratio \m/!!!!!!!
As a bit of a recent guitar/effects nerd, I would find this quite interesting, but I can't really see it appealling to anyone who isn't a guitar player and/or geek.
This was my second favorite pilot, but I feel like it is a hard sell for non musicians. Love Decay though, I think Sam Dunn himself would even have a hard time drawing viewers in, based on the limited audience who would revel in gear talk.
fold up your cardboard string pack and jam it between the floyd and body. keeps the bridge under tension. if you stick to the same gauge and brand of strings it will be quick and easy and you can take them all off at once. Easier for cleaning/treating fretboard
I feel like this could be a great show especially if they really get guests on from all over the metal scene to talk about their rigs and stories from the road! I do have the feeling though that Dan could kinda make this show on their own if it doesn’t win. Like the banger audience that is interested is already interested and then doing a guitar channel on UA-cam isn’t an unpopular idea so why not do it anyways?
I feel like of all the series ideas, this is one that would be the easiest to produce, long term. Even if it's not the top voted, I agree, just do this one as well. Whether he meant to or not, there was a lot of product placement for the pieces of gear, which if repeated in each episode, could surely fund the making of this series.
I love gear or pedal review but we have so many similar channels on youtube so I don't think it is as unique as the battlevest or the preservation show.
I enjoyed this, and if it gets made I will totally watch it, but I think of the four pilots this one is the least original. There is already tons of gear content on UA-cam. I also think this one would have the smallest audience.

Dekay love him some Schuldiner
when in doubt, DEATH it out.

I would like to hear about your practice routine today but also in your formative years

You started this off with my favorite riff of all time 🖤
6:08 It still baffles me why everyone hated The Crusade when it came out. So many good and memorable riffs.

My fav pilot you guys did yet ! Nice job guys :)
DEKAY ARMY!! Would love to see my man get the votes
I'm a BASS Player&I'm looking forward for your Series,SENSEI Dekay.
BTW,GUITARSENAL is 1of THE best titles to anything ever.
That crystal mountain segment hit me right into the jaw.
which celestion speaker do you use i have1960 ax cab with the 25 watt Greenback
huge improvements on sound quality !!
Awesome!!! Love the show and tips, this will get my vote..bonus for showing the 6505 some love
Sweet idea for a series! Maybe get in touch with Ola Englund, if there's a guy who know about gear...
ola rules

I am down for that if this series get made

Love it. Love the production as well

Yes please! lml lml I'm a gear nerd myself. Love the 6505. Also if you keep playing Death riff I'm totally sold with this show
so do you not use a boost pedal for your rhythm sound? sounds really crunch like you do, but seems like you do it only for solos?
honestly man if i've got a 6505 it needs no boost for rhythms. when im using 800's i'm always running extra boost in front for rhythm.
Cool series. Will look forward to see where this goes. Could be awesome with a Criss Oliva (Savatage) Rig run down.

What kind of pick do you use?
tortex 1.14
Nice Alive II Ace solo!
owwww, that was a really tough decision.
I guess what would make this series even more epic...
would be if Dekay gets also other Artists on board, from different genres.
Giving smaller bands also the oportunity to introduce themself.
speaking with them about their biggest failures or favorite piece of equipment
i dont know, what do you guys think?
I'm not saying this pilot is bad, not at all, Daniel is a killer guitar player, and a great dude, but with all due respect to him if I wanted to see a guitar player test guitars, and pedals and tell touring stories I either: a) would take Mr. Dekay out for a couple of beers, or b) would see that kind of content on the gazillion other guitar-led YT channels (like Ola Englund's channel).

someone say beers?
@@daniel_dekay Yes sir!! :D
I do really like this pilot as a gear nerd myself. hopefully it does take off, though i do understand that not everyone who listens to metal is a musician.
but look at that *like* ratio \m/!!!!!!!
You are a awesome guitarist dude👍👍🙏
thanks dood
I love this guy!!!!
He's very likable indeed.
WE WANT MORE EPISODES!!! (Or at least I do)
This is gonna be sick!

Way cool Daniel 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏
Without a doubt, Daniel is currently one of the most *skillful shredders* in today's metal.
this is not true, but thank you

Hey man you sound just like a Canadian.................
Shredding sounds northern too
Love it
winter shreds
It would be insane to see Alexi Laiho or Jani Liimatainen's rigs be studied
RIP
You definetly need to do Mr.Oliva from Savatage!!
Also!! Maybe talk about different types of guitar picks and strings.
Crystal Mountain for the first riff. Let's fucking go man. Death are so under appreciated.
That was cool. I think u should talk to the guys in Megadeth!
This looks great dude
fuck yeah good idea for a show dudes!!!
Great video , i say Daniel ..... where is the new Exciter album at ?
coming.
K I watched them all and we need to know how much is all 4 worth? We need all 4
we hear ya!
The perfect death thrash setup
Dude, i change my strings all at once even with a Floyd Rose. Just put a AA battery under the bridge and it stays totally flush. 😉
nice one! i play also, but would non guitarists/musicians be interested in a show like this??
I do loved to know that you have a hulk tattoo. I only know you from here. \m/ from São Paulo, Brazil.
🎸🎸🎸🎸👏👏🤟🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸. End . Good stuff
Valeu
Like#499 & shared 🤘
So Much for so little
Yo, I have those same socks haha
great minds something something

Frankly, all of these pilots look amazing, and I'm not a guitarist, nor do I have any interest in merch.
Your outfit strangly arouses me?
