    Btw- was this session created in Prague or England?🤣

      @@JoshMiddletonOfficial You're correct that they didn't use a boost on the amp. I specifically asked Rob about this in one of his videos and he confirmed they didn't add an OD. Sounds great!

    Chimaira and Sylosis are probably the most influential bands to me as a guitar player. Seeing Josh honoring Rob that way, warms my heart :)

    You have such a unique technique that even though you changed the tone it still sounds like sylosis playing chimera esp on the palm mute

      His picking hand is really hard to imitate. I’m trying so hard to get through some Sylosis songs.
      I’d say he’s got one of the best right hands for sure.

    I remember being given a cd a band burnt for me back in 2005 to learn the songs they play, it had 4 chimera tracks on it and I was blown away and had to find out who they were! Impossibility of reason is still one of my all time favourite albums !! 🤘 great tone recreation 👏👏👏

    Interesting to see you using varied Peavey's from STL, I've done the same before. A few months back I requested Fede to add a post EQ for each mic and to allow cab-sharing between Amphub/Tonality. He developed and released the EQ for Amphub, I'm hoping he does the same for Tonality and makes all the cabs common

    Another great video!
    Lately I've been trying to up my rhythm guitar game regarding stamina, consistency and overal cleanliness when recording. I have one question about your playing: I know you are a real heavy hitter and your right hand/arm make some pretty big movements when picking outside of palm muting. Are you usually hitting extra muted strings when you do it? For example, if playing a power chord on the fifth string, do you hit the muted sixth string and let the pick glide through strings 3-1 (wich are also muted by your left hand)? Or do you just aim for the two strings of the power chord?
    Thanks a bunch for the attention! Hope to see more vids soon! Looking forward to your new drums too!

    • @JoshMiddletonOfficial
      @JoshMiddletonOfficial  9 місяців тому

      I don’t think I normally hit the strings I’m not playing. Usually for power chords I’m only hitting the lowest two strings, not even the D string.
      Thanks!

      @nebularain3338 19 днів тому

      Boosts are overrated IMO. All it's doing is pushing the mids up and cutting a few lows. You can do the same thing with an EQ, and that gives more control.
