Fucking mondays.

Devin it is! Coursework is all done now and I can kiss goodbye to this fucking god awful semester. Back to musics! \m/

I'd second some Dev.

Anyone got Mastodon's new album? I heard Curl of the Burl and was very 'meh' about the whole thing but I'n probably going to go see them when they hit the UK in a couple of weeks, as well as Periphery (again).

Yeah the album is certainly different than the previous. Wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, but it's worth a buy if you like the band.

I'd recommend Black Tongue, Blasteriod, COTB, Spectrelight, and the Hunter

Mastodon's new album was pretty impressive. I bought it for once.

Yeah its great, I still prefer most of there albums to this one though. In my eyes mastodon can rarely do wrong

metal schmetal

anyway.

in other news, got a pair of Flow NXT bindings on the way. only 5 more weeks til we head off to alpe d'huez for some snowboarding shenanigans.... :)

So, I get sent a link to a song by a friend whom I haven't talked to in years. He's been a bedroom guitarist for a while but everyone thought he was this typical Iron Maiden dude just riffing through some songs here and there to impress the guys he knows. Turns out he's effing insane, and I want to do something with him so fucking bad. Check it out:

Mad chops right there yo.

actually quite enjoyed that, good thing it's not actually 10 mins long

Quite enjoyed that

Not my style really but excellently played. 0:44 was one of those wtf did I just hear that moments.

On the other hand, I am loving this:

Uh oh, DP.

Thanks for showing me The Mire SBT, been listening to it all night^^ Gonna put an ISIS tune on before I go to bed and welcome the weekly binge.

Got into The Mire very recently, they've only done an EP so far but it's really promising stuff. I mean if they can put out stuff of that quality and they don't even have an album yet...

They got more work to do...their music actually made me go back to this band:

So yeah, Alestorm just played at my pub, then wouldn't fucking leave.

OK Lod I'm seriously drawing a blank on amp ideas. Looking at Laneys, JCM 900s, JCM2000 DSLs, and then I'm stumped.

Bogner? Friend of mine replaced his JCM 900 with a used Shiva and loves it to death.

Yeah because they're in the same price range.

I'll just have done with it and buy a Dumble.

Well you didn't mention a fucking price range. Don't give me that shit like you're looking for a good tube amp under $500 USD. Shit he got his Shiva for a little under $1500 with 4x4 cab.

This is pretty amazing.

That's $600 and is just the head, no cab. So what's your point?

It's called common sense.

"Oh hey guys I'm looking at getting a new car, I've been looking at the Ford Mondeo, Focus, Vauxhall Astra, any other suggestions?"

"You should get a Veyron."

And by the prices of the amps I listed I clearly wasn't asking for sub-$500. Seriously everything you say is either boring, stupid or unfunny.

And I bought a Laney TT50H anyway for £440, BOOM.

Hope she lasts, laneys get somewhat farty-sounding.

edit: Although that one isn't their class a, so it should be pretty damn nice.

[QUOTE=SugarCoatedSour;18805784]Hope she lasts, laneys get somewhat farty-sounding.[/QUOTE]

That's the thing, the GH and VH series are pretty decent, but the TT to me is leaps and bounds ahead. 3 channels, independent EQs, 2 master volumes, shit tons of options and switches AND is the smoothest Laney I've heard.

You were listing stuff that I usually see for $1k give or take a little pending on how beat up they are. Sorry for mentioning something that was a little more. Did I suggest you go buy a brand new Bogner Ecstasy? No... stop making it seems like I offered up something that was horrendously more. Shit, you can't spot yourself another $200 or so for something worth it?

No. I can't.

I don't[I] really[/I] have the £440 to buy the Laney but my JMP-1 is no more and I'm recording guitars soon, so I've scrounged and pilfered to get something pretty decent but not bank-breaking.

TBH I don't really dig the over-processed sound of the higher-end amps recently, far too polished for my liking. I want the tone in this from about 5:30 onwards, [I]especially[/I] 6:10 onwards.

yeah it's a nice a/b amp, +effects loop is nice. Kind of wish I had one in my amp.

Gotta say, if you had the chance to own a bogner xtc you wouldn't think "oh, that's too polished for me". Same goes for any amp in that range...ofcourse depending on your preferences, if all you wanna do is bash away powerchords you can do that on anything.

If you don't want help SBT, don't fucking ask for it. How about that? At least don't berate some one for actually answering you.

Grats on finding something you like.

No one cares LFD.

Of course. I had my "OH EM GEE I WANT A RECTIFIER" stage quite early on, and after that just drifted further and further away from really tight, typical 6L6 sound. Most of what I'm listening to/inspired by recently is more rough round the edges and uses a prett decent amp and then loads of dirt pedals for maximum noise.

Also, I'm kinda looking to make my own sound; every tone I make with a 5150, Mesa or whatever sounds exactly the same and I'm so bored of it. I'd rather have a alright tone that's mine than have a £3000 amp that sounds like everyone else's. Case i point for me would be Reuben's guitar sound, not great by anyone's standards but vertainly recognisable.

seriously?

Slightly hyperbolic but you get the point.

[QUOTE=Left Face Down;18805697]That's $600 and is just the head, no cab. So what's your point?[/QUOTE]

My point...

I bought my 2x12 cab for like ~300.

My other point...you can go buy a used fender deville for $500.
You can buy this combo for a little over 500 http://www.guitarcenter.com/Egnater-Tweaker-112-15W-1x12-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp-105934020-i1515758.gc

Trying to nail some post rock... Any of you guys care to give me feedback on this tone?
