Screams of a Ghost

By Nyarlos on January 9, 2022 5:11 am

Welcome back! Blast blast blast, yada yada yada.

This year I have given myself a broad challenge of using every single pedal I own at least once on a WB track, and has to be a significant or noteworthy part to count as being ticked off the list, this is probably going to fail, cause I have a lot of pedals, and plenty of them that aren't very good. But that will be the challenge, getting a working guitar tone from something I don't think much of will be a great learning experience, like all of weeklybeats is!!

Seeing as this is first week, this track was mostly about getting my tracking rig back up, so I just used decent amp distortion, and used these pedals:
1. TS9 Tubescreamer- Still the best and easiest way to push a front end. There's fancier, but it just works every time.
2. Some Earthquaker clone I built- Spacey as Fuck.
3. Way Huge Supa Puss- A Banger of a dark analog delay.


Hope everyone gets through as many weeks as possible, glad to be here

Nice one! Loving those screaming E's at the end, massive sounding resolve from the solo. The entire track seems to lead into it. super satisfying haha.

working guitar tones from that part of the pedal collection for sure

Great way to start! smile I dig the challenge, I'm looking forward to seeing how you handle the less palatable pedals tongue

Great tones! Really cool goal you've set. Looking forward to checking in and hearing the sounds you can pull out of your pedal collection.

Very cool and wonderful!

Lovely riffage. Nice to have some metal-inspired music on here and from reading the challenge you've set for yourself I'm hopeful it stays that way smile

Nice metal track! I like the tones you are getting especially in the intro. Nice pictures, the Orange amp head especially! smile

this is really great, i had been relistening to metallica recently.

how'd you do the drums??

how many guitar pedals do you have?

Hey Orange, Drums are Slate SSD Drums, but the answer to the pedal question is who knows!!!! lol. I have 2 Full cabinets of them, I'm a guitar store guy so I get staff prices and first pick! And I also built a bunch a few years ago, so my pile of pedals is significant to large.

Epic~

Awesome riffage as the track progresses.  Definitely a cool challenge to use all those pedals.

Yes, so good to hear your riffing again.  Curious to see what pedals you get to unleash on us.
