| My Fav Guitar Tones/production
So I've been trying to find my perfect guitar sound ever since I picked up the guitar. These are my favorite guitar tones that I have been trying to achieve. I like thick high gain sounds, but also sometimes like the classic Marshall dist sound. Here we go :P | | 1 |  | Devin Townsend
Accelerated Evolution
My favorite guitar sound/production is found on Devin's classic, Accelerated Evolution. The sound is thick and greatly saturated but EQ'd in a way that is slightly heavy but again not scooped or muddy. The easy way to describe it would be a Pop Metal sound. Devin is famous for his "wall of sound" style production which shines on tracks like Deadhead and Slow Me Down. | | 2 |  | Nevermore
Dead Heart In A Dead World
Now after I'm done fooling around with Rock/Punk I love to crank the gain on my amp and I wish i had the ability to dial in Jeff Lommis' tone. His tone is just completely heavy, in your face and drool worthy. The sound is precise, shimmery, and almost mechanical. Listening to the solos and harmonics on songs like The River Dragon Has Come and Evolution 169 make me just wish I could steal all his gear and have that sound in my room. | | 3 |  | Megadeth
Rust in Peace
This album has very distinct guitar and overall album production that I am particularly fond of. Being a great mix of Treble and Mid-range without being completely scooped the sound has tons of gain and heaviness without being overly chuggy or muddy. | | 4 |  | The Flatliners
The Great Awake
At first listen you might think of just a typical generic Marshall JCM sound, but it's the layering of both guitarists with their tones that make the production on guitars really shine. The palm muting in Eulogy, and the clean guitars' bounciness in This Respirator is what I really love to hear. | | 5 |  | Against Me!
Searching for a Former Clarity
Before New Wave's over-produced, poppy sound, there was the raw naturally saturated guitar sound of Searching For A Former Clarity. The opening track Miami showcases the tone very well when the first chord is played. The notes ring out in an eerie dissonant way, this is what makes me love the guitars on here. | |

01.05.11 | 1 and 3 are awesome albums just saying. | SteelErectedb4you8er
01.05.11 | I agree with 1 and 3. My favorite guitar tone lies with Dismember, Entombed, Nasum, Rotten Sound, Trap Them, and Black Breath. | eternium
01.05.11 | That Entombed sound is definitely up there. Also the clean sound on Alcest. My Bloody Valentine is one of my favorites. Also Kurt Ballou's tones and production. | Ire
01.05.11 | alcest is really nothing special at all when it comes to guitar tone
| Hyperion1001
01.05.11 | Props for 2, but i liked the production on This Godless Endeavour a bit better | crowing51
01.05.11 | Needz moar Periphery and Lamb Of God | SteelErectedb4you8er
01.05.11 | hence the trap them and black breath reference. Hell yes, eternium. | eternium

01.05.11 | @crowing51: Periphery yes they do have an awesome sound but i dont listen to them that much, and Lamb of God.. idk they have a straight forward distortion. I guess its cool but its nothing special | crowing51
01.05.11 | Periphery has great guitar tone dude. The Sacrament album was LoG best guitar tone. | MrHigh
01.05.11 | Yes they do and i was fond of the latest Within The Ruins album, that had nice thick guitars | crowing51
01.05.11 | Oh yea WTR has like some of the sickest guitar tones i have ever heard, it almost too polished in a way | bloc
