Never thought I'd see the day a Russell Brand look-a-like couldn't quite remember Battery while sounding like Entombed. These really are magical times. Take that!!!! Chat GPT couldn't imagine this!!!!!
Wait. That'd not rusel
This guy is awesome. he's fun to watch, knowledgeable and shreds like a beast
The essentials for me are wah, overdrive, flanger and noise gate. Maybe a delay for solos if I'm feeling extravagant lol. A pitch shifter would be really handy for practising at home though.
thats why i love the 5150 od it has a built in noise gate!
Digitech drop for pitch shifter !
@@mygrandmaisatoaster40 what does pitch shifter pedals do?
@@iyessir5099they shift the pitch of the guitar
i cant believe i haven’t seen this channel before. this answered EVERY question i had about how i can finally achieve an absolutely crushing thrash tone. THANK YOU BROTHA
Dude I’ve just been collecting pedals over the years and I had no idea how to properly configure them to sound kick ass thanks so much
Lovely stuff Degen. I enjoyed your riffage and banter
I love to see a guitarist personal setup. Thanks for sharing! Love your videos as well.
Amazing demo as always! 🔥🔥🔥🖤❤
Got the 5150 overdrive love it
I love my MXR 5150 overdrive!! It has a Smart Gate circuit inside
So much useful info•🤘🏼Awesome • Great vid man as always👍🏼for passing it all on.
Fantastic explanation and demo!!! Thank you!!!
Damn, that TS9 infront of the amp sounded like a punch in the nuts! Awesome
🔥🔥🔥
That reaper 6 and that setup has a killer tone Dagan. Hell yeah 😎 man. Cheers 🍻
I feel like a couple of these could be covered by the OD200.
Been working with that for a while and been pretty impressed with it.
I so appreciate you. the od200 seems like exactly what im looking for!!
Got a Maxon 808 used, and it's flippin fun!
Great suggestions I use the boss metal zone, Ibanez ts9 as well also use Marty Friedman pre amp and tube buffer I use the buffer as my on off
i need to put subs to understand the accent and speed of talk but i love how he is so happy doing this makes me smile what a guy❤
I love your videos 🤘 i learned o lot in this again 💪
Awesome video, could have been way shorter but all the rocking in between I forgot I was supposed to be learning so I didn't care! Great job. I'm new to guitar and I'm excited to play some metal, my amp has a "metal" setting but it's kinda weak.
Thanks for the knowledge! Just ordered this gear.
I just got a Orange Super Crush 100 amp head with a Orange pro 4x12 240 cab with my Charvel HSS hardtail. ❤
Distortion/fuzz/overdrive, chorus/delay and a wah. A gate and an EQ pedal might also be a good idea, and a tuner is of course a must-haves for any pedal board
🤩 I have a BOSS noise gate it’s awesome 🤩
Recently grabbed a Boss blues driver for dirt cheap and was shocked at how damn good of an overdrive it is.
Kinda blew me away. I put it up there with the DS1
@@John-mf1sz I have a Boss Super Over Drive but I gotta say OVER DRIVES do enhance sound and quality however I still believe that combining a distortion pedal and an overdrive pedal has been the common duo for the longest but using a noise gate kind of took away from the effect I wanted which kind of hurts my GAINS so I had to ajust the settings and back off on some of the nobs because it wasn't giving me the lead metal crunch sound I like you can only loop so many effects pedals into one SET and then realize it takes away from the authenticity of the sound that you really wanted/needed meaning I am guilty of over doing my pedals and thats why I only limit myself to only like 1 or 2 pedals and BOOM there's that sound I was looking for...
@@JeremiahDaniel1995 Oh for sure. I keep my setup to around 3/4 pedals that get swapped out depending on what I’m recording.
I love having a good shoegaze sound and the boss blues driver along with a big muff and the ETH Cathedral reverb with the reverse setting is absolutely **chefs kiss**
@@John-mf1sz yeah sound varies from effects pedal 2 effects pedal lol over all I’ve always stuck with BOSS effects pedals they are pretty good I know of T.C. Electronics and Earthquakers brand for guitar musical effects pedal but BOSS has always stood out to me whenever I use my BlackStar tube amplifier it makes my effects sound amazing a thru the amps speakers 🔊
Awesome demonstration! If you could please explain the signal chain that would be greatly appreciated. Whether you are running 4 cable method, or running it straight into the front. I just couldn't figure it out. Thank you
I use the devil triad going into a metal muff with too boost going into a fish n chips eq pedal then noise gate going straight into a isp power amp and it sounds amazing
Tubescreamers are a must for rock/metal. Love em
My amp has the power amp in on the fx loop return. Never really tried it. Seeing the video I had to go try it. Seems to be more tweaking to do, but thanks for the idea Dagan. Good demo !
Yes! 😁 My face needed melting!
Thank you for the metal demo 👍
Any time!
Do another on Blues/ Bluesrock like john mayer, gary moore, and SRV!
Oh it’s coming! 🤘
I like how you played Silvera by Gorjia at the end
I can recommend TC Electronic Sentry, it's a great noisegate and i like it more than Boss NS-2.
The 3 pedals that will always be on my board is a Zakk Wylde wah, BOSS SD-1 and a chorus pedal. (Chorus is always on)
I prefer analog chorus but a BOSS CH-1 will work just fine. Keep it simple. MXR EVH Phase is a plus! 🤘🤘🤘
My main dirt pedal since 1994 was the DOD FX-69 Grunge. I coupled it with an FX-40B EQ into A Marshall 8080, then a Peavey Bandit Red Stripe 112.
I've added a few dirt pedals since then, notably a DOD FX-50B Overdrive Plus, BOSS SD-1A Super Overdrive, and an EHX Octavio.
The 50B has been my main for the last couple of years.
Sounds like a great set up
@lusario2650 I have a few pedal boards now.
My all DOD board: FX-17 Wah> FX-50B OD+> FX-69 Grunge >FX-40B EQ > FX-747 Supersonic Flange > FX-96 Echo FX > Amp
My budget board: Amazon Basics Tuner > Rocktron Big Crush Compressor > Dolamo D-8 OD > BOSS SD-1A Super Overdrive > Danelectro Fab Metal > Danelectro Fab Chorus > Joyo Vintage Phase > Azor Analog Delay > Amp
And my Build-in-Progress: DOD 250 >EHX Octavio > Caline CP-26 Snakebite Reverb > Movall Phoenix Wings Tremolo > Amp
I have a ts9 on its way I already have the Mxr 6 band,flanger and Fullbore metal pedals
I have the SmartGate, basic Boss SD-1 and Metal Core, a Sabbra Cadabra, a "Science Fair" (Screamer+RAT combo), a Bogner La Grange, and a pile of fun "boutique" OD/fuzz/distortion pedals I got because demos sounded cool. Don't have a 5150 OD or Metal Zone yet.
DON'T GET A STANDARD METAL ZONE! they have been bad from the beginning and are a meme in the metal guitarist scene FOR A REASON. the Metal Core you have is one of the best tho.
i paused and haven't watched the vid yet, but that is a WAZA Metal Zone. Boss got Waza to make boutique versions of some of their pedals and they FIXED the Metal Zone, if you want to pay boutique price that is.
but don't get the standard Boss pedal, the *worst* tone you get from the Core is better than the best tone you get from the Zone.
Great video Dagan 👍🎸🍺
If you're playing lead or some fancy Zakk Wylde rhytm i would definitely reccommend a wah
hello PMTVUK, i follow a lot your videos, i m looking to buy a good combo to study metal (metallica, ecc) and i don't know which amplifier to buy, I would have a good clean sound just in case ill use some external pedal like the 5150 that i like for metal sound.
The Fender Publish is pretty legit. I also like the EHX Nano Metal Muff, just to name a few.
Digitech HardWire TL-2 I find is one hell of a metal pedal
Ibanez Screamer and the m x r EQ sounds great.
The other ones not so much
Yooo, what ist that esp in the Background? Thought they aren't available anymore. Or is it your own?
Do you have reverb on the amp, Dagan?
The noise gate demo with reverb gets a little washed
I have a catalinbread sabbra cadabra I love it for metal.
I have the ts 9 ,metal zone Mxr 6 band and a noise gate
I want one...the pedals are nice too.
Wheres the Boss SD-1? An absolute classic for Metallica and Megadeth type tones.
can you play in c# like old black sabbath with the pitch fork?
Boss bass chorus works great with guitar distortion you can have the chorus on the high end only
Great video i subscribed.
QUESTION, do you put the whole pedal board through your effects loop.
COMMENT, You should put compression on your microphones. Whenever you talk i gotta crank it up, Whenever you play i gotta turn it down.
It amazes me the amount of guitar players that don’t use an eq pedal,they’ll have five different overdrives though and complain about the tone missing high end,or low end,or mids and go buy another overdrive lol
can i do the same as the pitch fork with a digitech whammy 5 or will is sound like crap?
so i got that the noise gate should be at the end of the chain, the distortion pedal in the fx loop, but what is the order of the tube screamer and EQ pedal? thanks!
Some put the eq after the clean boost pedals. A lot of people use the eq in the effects loop as well. I'm getting ready to try it when my master effects pmeq puppet master pedal arrives. People swear that the eq pedals are the best into the effects loop.
Friedman BE-OD. Brutal!
Y un Boss SD1 para un ligero empuje del ataque o un DOD 250 Overdrive Preamp para morder en los solos.
Con una guitarra con una single en mástil o posibilidad de split coil, cuando llega el sólo no sabrás qué coño suena tan increíble.😂
Prefer the boss SD1 to the Ibanez ts9.
And hm2w stacked with mt2w
SD-1 For LIFE!
The SD-1 is indeed awesome!
I have both ts9 and sd1, as well as an TS808, and can say both tubescreamers and sd1 have their uses, depending on the amp and guitar/pickups you're using. Sometimes I really want the scream of Zakk Wylde, in which case only the sd1 will do. Same as the distortion ds1, it's ideal for classic humbuckers and low gain amps. No favourites for me anyway. They're all great :)
Awesome!
You get an automatic like for playing a drop c 5,7,8 riff 🤘🏽
Good video bro. Dig the pitchfork pedal. That's really good stuff. Thanks !an. Rock on. 😎👍👌💪👋🎸🎸. Agree with comments below. Metal zone is badass pedal 😊😊
Great sounds great to play with ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Where are those vertical pedalboards/holders from, awesome for pedal demos!
Marcus D'Luxe! 🤘
thank you so much for this video👍🏽
I love a good proco rat and chorus
Metal zone kicks ass ❤
How does it not get noisy when Dagan stopped playing? Do you use noise gate? (Which can affect the tone of the distortion)
Yeah, thats the first pedal he talks about 👍
anybody know what song he is playing at 7:15 ? thanks
I like the digitec death metal pedal
Ik I'm a bit late but does the pitch fork muddy the tone much
The metalzone needs a foot pedal connection so you can control the mid sweep like a Wahl pedal
Is that an actual thing you can get and do? or are you just speculating?
And if so, what about an automatic setting, like an auto-wah?
@ Jank Willson it's possible but I have know idea how I just remember me and my friend playing and one would play and the other would turn the knob
Revv G3 is my favorite
Question? if you break a string on stage is there a pedal or a way to switch guitars quickly.
Step on a boss tuner
The Revv G4 has been the most phenomenal pedal Ive ever played... (Although I havent had the pleasure of trying the G3, theres no doubt in my mind its just as badass)
The G3 has a tighter low-end and has less high mids and more low mids than the G4.
I like to think of the G3 having as a more wooly “American Capitalist” kind of sound, whereas the G4 has a more clear, grinding Dimebag kind of sound.
Agreed. Probably the best purchase I've made pedal wise.
yes it kicks ass ive played it into an IR loader, it would work great in the FX loop but i found the EQ to be very extreme and had to roll the bass way down
So only have one amp, when he says distortion in pre-amp….is he saying that run distortion through the send/return effects loop?
What riff is that from 7:20
For me all i want is reverb noise gate fuzz and 100 distortion pedals!!!
Dude you remind me of the Character Russel Brand played in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I can’t remember his name
What song is played at 7:15?
I’d say that probably the best all rounded is the metal zone pedal.
Nothing beats a good well set up pedal board. However with today's digital plugin world you can REALLY get damn close for a LOT less $. Pedals to me are like paying $80 - $150 for salt and pepper on a dish...great but DAMN!😮
how do you run a pedal as a preamp? like do u just set it up as a normal pedal
You would run it through the fx loop (usually on the back of the amp) if it doesn't have one you're not going to be able to.
I use EQ to kill noise and leave room for bass/drums
The HM-2 is of course the most necessary pedal of all.
Metal zone is always a good time
suggestions for metallica tone? specifically Kirk's tone? I have his KH-602, wah and the ibanez tube screamer. I have a Line 2 Spider v60 MKII amp
Check out the thrasher pedal pretty cool indeed!
DAGAN RULES
I use a boss metalcore
Would you recommend the 5150 pedal for a solid state combo without an fx loop?
So.. the.. shit I need to buy a book or something… the bypass mode with the preamp thing that goes through the something something and does a thingamajig… can anyone recommend a book of some kind that could explain guitar amp configs?
Or replace the most pedals with the Laney Ironheart😉
Top! 😎🤘🏽
i love this guy's crack-level enthusiasm, so contagious
No DigiTech Whammy or Boss HM2. I am disappoint. Although, i was happy to see a chorus, even if it was kinda glossed over.
I don't know why all the hype with noise gates... I actually like the noise.
I’m a gear noob. Been playing on my line 6 spider III for ten years lol. All this stuff just seems a little intimidating to get into.
Pick you up a Digitech GNX3000 it'll have everything you'll need to get started and it's older so you can pick it up at around $130
@@JK-qp4jy awesome, I appreciate the recommendation. Hopefully this will be a good “test the waters” experience.
@Austin Escobedo there's still full support for it over at Digitech if you have any questions . It's got a great base for recording also that pairs well with older model computers or newer . I have mine paired with a Behringer Audio Interface and it seems to work pretry well. I can't afford an Apple or any of that DAW software so it's a low budget, high performance setup
Dude if I were you I would be playing that flying v,lol.
There's this youtuber thedooo, who just used something for his guitar that made it so every time he spoke, the note he played would autotune his voice. You should try that for metal
There were so many times in the video that I thought you were going to play Smoke On The Water😂😂
You are delusional
300 American dollars for that pitch fork. Wtf?
This is the best pedal of 2023 for metal: Ibanez Pentatone Preamp PTPRE
🙋🏻♂️The Boss “Metal Core”-It’s METAL ASF🤘🏻🙀👀🫣🎸!!!!
The Metal Core IS amazing! 🔥
@@PMTVUK Metal Core is my main...Too simple....Lol...Raw !... Then for the middles higher I use it with Metal Zone and Sd1....Thanks for your vidéo...
i also love chubeshreamers
