Truth

This got a good chuckle out of me.

Haunted Smores I actually own a 2012 compaq laptop and boy is it a piece of shit. Was. It died.

Dude you're a genius

No....a line6 spider

You’re a monster.

Metalzone is actually a good pedal! People just don't know how to use it correctly.

Man... I need to get some companies to make me a Signature Guitar, pickups, amp AND pedals... guess no metal tone for me haha :(

Lol wats wrong m8 u too not dedicated enough to buy a real amp on Reverb?

Thomas Mims he’s literally making a very valid point here, the whole thing is a giant ad.

@@Heath-vz7lc Of course it is. When you’re sponsored you are sort of obligated to sell the gear. Also if you spent a ton of time designing gear then you would damn well advertise it and only use that gear because it does exactly what you want. This video isn’t about the gear. It’s about dialing tones in. The gear is just what he uses. But he shows how to dial tones in which is the actual point of the video. Do you want him to show you how to do it on a dual rectifier, a Marshall or a line 6 spider with a metal zone? Nobody has time for that.

@@Heath-vz7lc Dude, This not a demo playing random riffs ,he is just making an informative video using those gears.

Metal Zone. Scoop the 'Mids' !! Noise Gate. Down tune to Drop Z tuning

clearly not... One , the tone suck. Two, you can easily clone this tone with ozone eq and a good amp sim like helix for ex.

Hardly true, I use a 6505 with a boss super overdrive. Actually sounds tighter and brighter then this

Eddy van Marwijk chügg

about 7k in USA with around 3,5k cash a month... In my countrie, would be 42k brazilian reais, and the average salary is 1000 reais per month. would take 4 years to buy everything

In a way, yeah. But these methods work with most amps, OD pedals, and guitars. It's not as if it's impossible to achieve tight, percussive and bright-but-not-ice-pickish metal tones without these pieces of gear. People have been doing it for years. He just used what he was part of developing, and why not? They're exactly what he had in his mind, and what he can best articulate this points with. Should Paul Gilbert also not teach with his signature guitars?

The Invective is not a signature amp, he was just a consultant. Supposedly.

Im totally cool with it as long as he doesnt go full Chapman and say "obviously, I'm the owner of Horizon Devices and this is my signature amp with Peavey" every single time he mentions the gear at all. "Also, these are my signature Bareknuckle Pickups, I am a Bareknuckle artist, and I'm also the owner of Horizon Devices go check out Horizon Devices" that shit gets annoying.

J Har come on man....this is obviously a commercial masked as an educational video. If sweetwater sells any of these items he probably gets a percentage

why you butthurt, need a hug?

Neo Cortex it's actaully already out

I NEED THIS

signature oxygen for when ure out of breath from playing

I'm trying to get his signature speaker cable xD

I'm waiting on his shirt that says "theres a couple ways of doing that"

but the last ad at least did djent

*laughs in 2019* (Explanation : There are 2 ads before some videos)

@@MrPeezySleezy thank you for explaining the meme peter!

people love to whine and complain, don't they?

His bands 1 big tech demo, but hey mishas gotta eat too i suppose

Yeah I agree. They also get real people that actually know what they're talking about instead of hacks.

Excuse me, but I'm going to need you to keep your common sense and logical arguments out of this youtube comment section, thanks!

Right? Who needs that stuff?

hahahahhaaaaa

Huh? Musicians demo non-sponsored gear all the time. If it’s presented as an instructional video, then yes, he should promote whatever works for him, regardless of brand. Part of what brought viewers to this page is the ethos of his name and respect for his sound. If he’s purposeful omitting key components or gear for the sake of advertisement, criticism is justified. Nothing wrong with plugging your products in an advertisement, but trying to present it as genuine instruction is dishonest.

The last thing I want to see is an artist being distracted from explaining their technique and tools because they're using tools they don't normally work with. In that scenario, we would have likely heard, "This really doesn't achieve the gating, mids, attack, low end, or saturation I'm looking for, but if I had my pick ups, amp, and booster, you'd see what I'm unfortunately unable to convey with this limited equipment." Which is more instructional? The assumption is that you can provide the free lesson he gave with some other, unspecified equipment. Because he didn't use this unspecified equipment, his character is now being called into question because he used what he uses. This is why I tell people to keep their kids as far away as possible from public and most private schools, because very basic standards of critical thinking are nonexistent in the vast majority of these environments.

Never fails

federz666 Yeah really, how easy was that? Lol

SEE CHEEP METAL HERE bro! -- The SlayeriZer

The guitar is 2800 but ya i see your point, some of us are broke. Some of us are not.

dont need all that if u just stack mikus.

Adam Youdell No but a Spider IV set right with this pedal and some good pickups might sound very usable

Adam Youdell Glen would kill himself if he heard you talking this smack

Rotten Cheerio hahaha, love it!

/w\METAL/w\ -- The SlayeriZer

ALL THE GAIN, NO MIDS. SLAYERRRRRRRR

oh hey bro

Yeah with a 3K guitar and a peavey invective lol

@Johnny13Ghost get an orange micro dark and a mini tube screamer :P

@@bdaquatics7584 naw man. I mean, the gear is awesome and it’ll get you there easier but you can get these tones fairly easy in terms of setting up the gear.... but a lot of misha’s tone is his playing style which is obviously impossible to replicate exactly. But in terms of the gear a decent guitar with good passive medium output pickups paired with some kind of tube screamer style overdrive pedal (you will want a noise gate somewhere in there) and a peavey 5150 or 6505... boom. You’re golden. If you use software emulation just find the equivalent to this gear and fiddle with the settings. Avoid too much gain though. Also make sure you get a really good IR because that is where a lot of software amp emulations kind of falter. You gotta remember. Misha didn’t have this sick gear his whole life. He grew into it and any serious guitar player will do the same. The player dictates the sound. The gear are the tools that help you get there. A bad guitar player can make the best gear sound like ass. But a good guitar player can make anything sound good.

@@pmckeown22 that’s what I use, a micro dark and a TS9, nice tone

Sick, it does work like a charm with that head doesn't it! I definitely tested the prototype versions of the Precision Drive with that head!

Have you used it along with the Axe FX? I've got a helix and curious on how this would match up in the loop(or up front).

wyldelabel357 I think there have been videos done on the way this pedal interacts with the axe fx

I have used it with both the Axefx and Helix, and both of those units play wonderfully with pedals, so it pairs really well with them!

Misha Mansoor btw don't listen to the haters on this video, this video can be really helpful for beginners even without the precision drive as this can be achieved with any tube screamer (maybe not as good though ;D)

Pitdog360 was it worth it? I have the 2x12 50 watt and Everytime I add an overdrive I end up never using it. Amp sounds killer on its own.

His tones on Metal Guitar Gods are sweet!

sounds like a better deal right there.

Fractals are great, but they don't respond like tube amps unless played through a tube power amp into a cabinet..

Eh. Second hand 6505 and a decent OD (love the Green Rhino) and a noise-gate and you have a pretty great metal tone for not too much.

@@xxczerxx agree 100%

me too

AAAhhhh! it's you! That made my day. Keep killin it man.

Meh I feel like anyone who actually cares already knows hahah

This is most certainly true :)

So what if it's his signature gear? The advice is still the same regardless of the gear.

Signature gear is stuff you use because it’s your favorite. Makes sense to me

I kinda did too. It was warmer and less harsh. Depends on genre and taste I suppose.

Or use a guitar with overwound parallel wired humbucker coils in the neck and a underwound dual slug bridge pickup... And some 1kohm pots

The fun is, several years later, they still call it modern. It could also be called arrogant metal or poser metal as far as I care. Just write songs and stop worrying about genres or gear. There is a MAJOR distraction going on in the industry, people only worry about sounding the same as your favorite band with a KZfaq channel and are completely occupied by the thought of having the exact same gear. All that while you should practice and try to get inspired to write a decent song. And a bunch of riffs with weird sounds isn’t a song btw.

Herrdesrings dampening the springs' vibrations on tremolo guitars is also quite useful

First mistake - using tremolo guitars :D I tend to block them anyway but I kinda like string thru tuneomatics most!

Herrdesrings my favorite are the adjustable wraparound ones. Such a clever design. I didn't like trems when I bought my strat but I wanted a strat so...

^what he said.

they did it

Too bad it’s made in China. You’ll spend in repair costs the first 2 years what the amp costs retail.

@@joshbarnes6759 or just treat your gear right..I've never had to have any gear I purchased brand new fixed

They did this year!

No worries! It's a Nomos Ahoi Atlantik Datum, made in Germany and they have their own rather fantastic in-house movements!

Cooool! Thanks Misha, great time piece, in-house movements are all the rage now! Good to know that you have a very exquisite taste on nice timepieces! Nice to hear your new amp along with the Precision Drive too! Cheers!

Alex Screeton what i thought. Blackstar id 150...

like a 5150 block letter, since it is a straight copy plus a ton of awesome features. In the mix the highs and lows will be cut anyway so im guessing this is more of a recording tone than a jamming tone.
