Rig Rundown - Amenra
Рет қаралды 45,513
Күн бұрынOver the course of seven studio albums, two EPs, and five live albums, the Belgian quintet have explored the extremes of pounding doom, grinding sludge, spacy hardcore, haunting folk, and thematically grim that all coalesce together to create Amenra.
In this episode, Amenra bassist Tim De Gieter interviews bandmate guitarist Lennart Bossu (also of Oathbreaker) who showcases a rare Les Paul hybrid and early Kurt Ballou design, breaks down his 100-watt fascination (and a slimmed-down contingency plan for cleans), and demos core sounds that involve ethereal reverb and gruesome gain.

Holy shit, you guys actually have AMENRA on here! Yes! Please ask Brutus, another great Belgian band (Post-Hardcore/Post-Rock) for a rig rundown as well! Please, please, please! I‘d also love Oathbreaker but they‘re almost disbanded as far as I heard. Thank you so much for this episode!

I've been a low key fanboy of Lennart from the days he was still in Janez Detd (2004). Every project he's been involved in has such an amazing variety of guitar riffs and sounds. He's truely one of the best and most versatile 'heavy' guitar players in Belgium. Been waiting for years for a rig rundown of him and I could watch him play for hours.

@Mindartcreativity 3 жыл бұрын
In the past, Mathieu used a Gibson Les Paul Custom, a JCM 800 set cleanish on low input with a Mesa 412. For distortion he used a Proco Turbo Rat, a Boss delay and a Line 6 DL4. There’s an old video about him here on YT. Now he might be using a Lichtlaerm Audio Ritual as distortion. Lichtlaerm Audio is a German one-man company and he did a highly modified Rat with multiple clipping options and boost, the Ritual, that started as a custom-ordered pedal to replicate the sound of Amenra and Daniel, the guy behind Lichtlaerm ended up getting Amenra‘s blessing and Mathieu might be using it now himself which I think is pretty cool and speaks for the quality of that pedal. I have a distortion/pre-amp pedal by Lichtlaerm and I love that thing!

@@DoominMacGruber Yeah, no. DADGAD is not a drop tuning, that would be DADGBE. This tuning is made for playing chords with open drone strings, sort of like bagpipe music, which is also why it's popular in celtic music.

@@nicholainissen dadgad is an alternate tuning, but it's also a drop tuning since you're dropping the low E down a whole step. And like they said, they tune B standard in this band, but oathbreaker does use drop tunings, but not "dadgad intervals" of any kind that I'm aware of, however I'm in no way an expert on this guy or any of his projects, but completely agree with your opinion on dadgad's in general.

@@Auspexgetchell John Browne (flux conduct, monuments) also uses this "tuning interval" a lot, if not exclusively. Not a big fan of his projects, mostly because of the vocals, but his first Flux Conduct record is instrumental and tuned dadgad. I believe Tesseract also use this intervalic relationship as well, but tuned Bb/A.

Love those dissonant chord progressions! Also great sound, heavy and growling, dark and sparkly at the same time. What is the secret to preserve that string separation and clarity despite the heavy distortion?
@Astral_Wave 2 жыл бұрын
Nice pickups that aren't overly wound (vintage spec rather than modern high output). He may also be running both amps at the same time, so the clean amp would be providing clean clarity in tandem with the distorted ampeg (I'm just guessing). Technique also plays some factor , damping the low notes slightly with pick hand, as opposed to muting entirely, when picking higher notes in the arpeggio 🤷

What happens to the twin when he plays the heavy parts with the Marshall and the Ampeg? Does it still sound clean? Does it turn off? Does it sound with the providence distortion? And the same question with the other two amps when he plays the clean parts. Do all amps sound for clean and dirty tones?

He says the pedal switcher also switches which output he's using, so there's no signal to the Twin for his heavier tone and vice versa.
