Doing the Giant Elephant Rock
By Nyarlos on January 14, 2024 9:21 pm
Not all my amps are suitable for the total Brutalz, so this week I grabbed some English Crunch goodness, the Laney GH50R, and straight away conjured some vaguely Mastodon like sludge/rock/metal. I even detuned a little!!! Guitars were mostly my Ibanez FR800 none more black guitar, had Bare Knuckles in them, which are just awful, so yanked them and put in the DImarzio Super Distortion and Evolution, and leads where on my Ibanez Xiphos, cause I just gotta have that Floyd.
This Amp was discontinued before her time, I thought such a good versatile rock head, the 2 channels can be run either clean or gain, and a very pleasant reverb and comprehensive EQ section, with laney's push/pull knobs that change certain responses.
Rhythm tracks were: left the "clean" channel pushed with a low master volume, right is the gain channel with low master, high channel volume. Used the Danelectro cheap and cheerful overdrive, but I also layered a second track a bit cleaner and then whacked a big muff on there to fill out the bottom end. Delays and stuff were just the TC G Major.
