  1. you knows it, that and cheesy metalcore... Killswitch, Agony Scene, Bleeding Through and other equally keech bands that wouldn't be touched in any other situations (except ETiD). Devils Sold His Soul for night time most definately.
  2. correct. from what i've seen/heard AVTs are seriously(!) unreliable and produce a very sub-stanmdard sound. there is no - despite what marshall say - sculpting to the sound. with the EQs everything seems a bit too weak or a bit too powerful. the effects loop makes odd noises and just doesnt sound very good. i reckon you actually get a better overdrive sound out of a 40 marshall 10w practice amp.
  3. an ideal for which i'm prepared to die and pulled apart at sea do it for me. lush. there some parts where songs go on a wee bit too long in places, but you have it sussed with the new songs... especially in the live setting. you boys need to 'hit the road'.

  5. Excellent, bar some gear malfunction and, therefore, some standalone harmonies.
  6. Need cash to fund other gear. was bought for 236 about 4 years ago. Hasnt really been played in about 6 months as i've got a head cab set-up sorted. Its in mint condition, great amp for (pretty loud) home practice or even gigging. 75 watts into a 1 by 12" speaker. 4 programmable presets with 6 amp models and a range of effects. questions or tryouts just ask. i'll let it go for 110 ono
  7. i am... hopefully make it back for meet me in st louis though. Och thats still a top notch line up. would have really been up for that. get yous back up here soon though.
  8. yeah, i've heard good things. i wish i was into good music when you were putting on gigs in aberdeen.... *capitol!!
  9. yeah i know. he said the pressing plant were pretty unreliable. just can't wait to slap it on. i think it shipped on tuesday though, hopefully come on monday. this weekend is tional for gigs... Friday Night Gunfight, Archives and Mesa Verde in Dundee on saturday Explosions + Eluvium in Glasgow on Sunday Meet Me In St. Louis etc monday. oucha.
  10. cats and cats and cats/this town needs guns split cd. the twilight sad - and she will darken the memory 7" deftones - around the fur poison the well - versions non phixion - the future is now the high and mighty - home field advantage the twilight sad - fourteen autumns and fifteen winters in the post: the twilight sad - that summer at hom... 7" cease upon the capital - react with protest #24? isis - sgnl05
  11. yeah. shaping up nicely. i'm excited for this. i'm STILL waiting for my vinyl copy of the album. Will be bliss though.
  12. occasionally i get tracks that entirely don't work. i just deleted them off and put them back on it worked fine.
  13. i really didn't enjoy Glasvegas for some reason. If they are in anyway comparable to the twilight sad (if only for the Glaswegian accent) they lose, miserably. Did they coin that phrase by the way? This Town Needs Guns. Not sure whether i like the name or i don't, either way i think they're good.
  14. the only reason i blew my amp is because i am a tool and forgot to turn down the gain on my distortion when it was on full. Bye bye tweeter. i think when your amp is red it is 'peaking'. your cab usually has 2 power ratings RMS (root mean square?) and peak. the peak figure is usually a HEAP higher then the RMS figure so as long as you only are really hitting red when your strumming/plucking/picking strings then i think its fine. at least thats the way i understand it. if your always in the red you probably want to tone it down a wee bit. since your amp and cab are matched your pretty safe with gain as long as your not putting through any dodgy frequencies. a compressor woul;d probably do your distortion a bit of good, take out any unwanted high end i think. Tuner first though.... Boss TU-2, do it now. Sell one of your distortions!
  15. yeah, i was told. i kept quiet to save my blushes. how embarassing.
  16. chops! a lot of those solos/leads are quite tasteful actually (as far as solos go), cool scales and stuff. harmonic/melodic minor-esque.
  17. you do. its quite something. The captain tom's gig was SUPERB. By far my favourite local band.
  18. i agree. but i'd prefer it if it was just a 'Bands Forum' where anybody could post a topic about a band they like and it could be discussed at length. I know the answer will be 'use the music discussion', but i never find it works there. I'm not sure if its just because people don't want to discuss the bands at length.... probably is.
  19. i put my bass into rnb with 50-110 guage. still found it a bit slack. might get some of those GHS strings off thomann that go up to 115 and get it set up somewhere else.
  20. so i buy a 5 string set up for EADGB (low to high) - instead of BEADG - with heavy guage strings than tune it down to CGCFA? please tell me i'm right. it took me a long time to get that. i have no idea why.

    is hardcore anything with 'screaming' and/or distorted guitars? what about screamo or 'avante-garde metal'?
  22. so tempting... what kind of sound does it give? gritty/ warm?
  23. sure that'll sort out string slackness?
  24. B up to C E down to G A down to C D down to F G down to A or am i being spastic?
