for DJent, all you need is a stick, an EMG81, a string, and a Line 6 pod!  check this out:

I'm not entirely sure if this is the place for this, but I guess this counts as music?

I kinda like djent now, now that even a stick can produce it! well, the article poses an interesting question on 'gear snobbery'.

What are your thoughts???

I'm pretty sure that 99% of all djent guitarists can play circles around me but I tend to find the genre cold, unappealing, and generally boring.

Regarding that stick thing, I'm quite sure a decent doom or stoner or sludge song could be written and recorded with it.

it is cool to ponder. spook needs to see this.
this gives me more thoughts about what to do with my beat schecter. the slide-violin idea is atill ahead of the rest.

but yes, that thing sounds good, and very capable of playing that song. to me, the problem is that song.

actually I been lost in brushy 1-string videos. that fucker brings it. now I want to cover that chicken in the corn song haha


Seriously, between shit like this or crazy revelations like the fact that you can make a righteous fuzz out of 5 components and other crazy crap like that, the lid is getting blown right off of the mystique jar in a hurry.

I don't get it. What am I missing?

What the fuck is djent?  Dude has some pretty badass right hand chops.  I remember when I was about 14 and interested in EMG pickups the owner of the local music store told me you could put those on a 2x4 and they'd sound the same as in a $3000 Les Paul.  He meant it as an insult to EMG, but I guess it's pretty badass if you have 2x4 money, not $3000 Les Paul money.

Basically, if you cut all the mids out of your signal and replace them with distortion products, it doesn't matter what the fuck your instrument sounds like.

Pretty cool,  I'm going to make something like that for my next diddley bow type project, very cool!  Imagine if Rappers had built these instead of playing around with turn tables in the 70's!  These days anyone can afford to Rock!

One can also get a cheap used Epi or whatever for the cost or less than the cost of a pickup. 6 strings.

I might make one of these tomorrow for pure shits and giggles.

so at this point are you just listening to the sound of the effects unit that can be excited by any source guitar to hit that same high level of distortion and w/e other processing?

this may sound redundant, but I wanted to ask the question in different words to make sure I understand what is going on here.

also, would then heavy compression sort of seal the deal? like one mono-blah..what im trying to say, sound no matter what?

if you listen to old school cut and paste songs, specifically the funky cold medina , and fight for your right to party, what are they doing there to get that cool choppy hard sound?

This is a sick rendition.

Compression is part of the distortion. Because of the gain, gating is necessary, which is why you go via multifx units, as there is mid scoop eq, distortion, compression, and gate going on for the attack stoppy startyness. Wonder how close you could get by using the guitar envelope to bust open a noise gate to let white noise through and have no guitar signal pass.

Sounds like metalcore to me.

I bet that guy gets mad pussy.

I want to beat his face in with that guitar for being such an annoying fuck, though.

[liquidsmoke]

What the fuck is paw muting? hahahahahaha

Does your cat have to help with that?
