TESTAMENT GUITAR TONE - The Gathering
Рет қаралды 119,311
Күн бұрынBringing back this series and today I'm taking a look at one of my favorite albums, The Gathering by Testament. I'm using a Dean Select V going straight into my Mesa Boogie Tremoverb and Mesa 4x12 cabinet. Shure Sm58 Beta microphone. Basically replicating the gear that was used on the actual album produced and mixed by Andy Sneap.
Songs mixed by Jocke Skog

The Gathering is one of the few albums I can listen to from start to finish. There isn't an ounce of flab on it, every track is absolutely crushing. I can put it on, and it still sounds as fresh and heavy as it did when I first heard it twenty years ago.

Yep. And considering this is considered to be one of Testament's ''weaker'' records, it says a lot about the band's ability to write music. Unlike the weaker albums from The Big Four, this one stood a test of time and sounds fresh and epic.

I often felt like Laney VH100R was 90% there. You get the right character of distortion and eq right away, even with a wrong cabinet (had JCM900 with g12t-75 instead of the laney cabinet). I suppose a PRS into that does the rest. Although they did list triple recto as well on their website. Quite uncommon to have a band list all the gear used to record their albums on their website. Found it through google and tried to reverse engineer how to find the links to the albums' gear with no success, only googling it gets me there.
@silverstaralchemist 2 жыл бұрын
I've found that using way less gain than you think you need helps a lot to nail the Deliverance tone. I've gotten pretty close running the ultra gain channel on my Marshall DSL at a quarter or a little above, with a clean boost. Too much gain and all the complex chords get way too muddy.
@Shezmen88 2 жыл бұрын
@@Yupppi Mh, well...because I heard of the vh100r, I got one back in 2008. It wasn't close at all to me. It was more similar to Paul Gilbert's sound. Nowadays I use a rectifier mixed with a 5150 with a prs and it gets close. Still, it's missing something. So the vh100r I believe it was just a marketing thing...and live, they simply used it for its clean channel.

I was fuckin' lucky to have seen them on The Gathering tour. It was at The Whisky in LA. I was 17. The Haunted was the opening act (their first album is their best). Kerry King was there. I asked if he was there for Dave but the douchebag said he was only their for The Haunted. Dave joining Testament was a dream come true. He took them to a whole new level. So much power, energy and just great drum writing for the music. And of course, DiGorgio on bass and Murphy on lead guitar. Just an all-star lineup. Too bad it was such short-lived.

@@TheHill1798 Yup. I only like The Haunted's first album. Pure Swedish thrash and no bullshit. I saw them again in 2000 at November To Dismember fest. Good times. Yeah, when I first heard the dark string orchestra intro then it exploding into DNR, I was blown away. Not many albums have done that to me. Lombardo also recorded his 3rd album with Grip Inc that year. Love that band. You were at Live In London? That's awesome. That's such an incredible live album. The drums sound amazing. Tama Bell Brass snare. John was excellent. Loved his version of Sins of Omission. And they finally played The Legacy! Such an underrated song. I hear ya. Hoglan is one of my favorites but I'd like to see him playing with a new band where he can further explore his creativity. Would be cool to have John back.
