Members anomaly Posted February 25, 2006 Members Share Posted February 25, 2006 Originally posted by The Idiot Ocean Machine and City are his defining moments. I wasn't too crazy about his new one, too idiosyncratic, too eclectic for my tastes. Kinda rubs me the wrong way like the Physicist did....He uses 5150 with a Roland GP-100 for effects. I think he also uses a ds-1, a tu-2, and a morley wah. I think it's a boss sd-1. If you have the synchresta DVD you'll see his pedal setup, a morley bad horsie wah, a boss sd-1, a tu-2. For amps, Gene and Jed on the SYL site said he used an amp called a Morin for City. I've never heard of it. Other than that, he's always used Peavey 5150's. Jed used mainly 5150's up until Alien where he switched to Dual recto's. Devin's been using Recto's live too lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I may disagree about the hyperbole I can certainly see where you're coming from. It's certainly cut from the same cloth IMHO. Yes I love Devin's work as well.

Members GuildGuitarist Posted February 27, 2006 Members Share Posted February 27, 2006 i can't believe no one's mentioned his amazing production and engineering skills, the work on misery signals is just wow i can't describe it he added SO much depth to that album. not to mention the LoG album he did.

Members metalcore Posted February 27, 2006 Members Share Posted February 27, 2006 One of my all time favourites. I think Synchestra is kinda patchy. Terria is far an away the DTB's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BrendanO Posted February 27, 2006 Members Share Posted February 27, 2006 City is one of my favorite albums. It's pure {censored}in' genius. From those opening blasts of All Hail The New Flesh, I knew these people were going to remain ahead of their time for quite a while. And, it must be said that while Townsend may be a madman, Hoglan is just as equally a monster. Between the two, I still don't think City has arrived yet. It still gives me goosebumps. The production is unreal, and I dig how they incorporate those samples and noises in the backround that make it sound like the {censored}ing walls are caving in, above and beyond the music itself. I hate City. I hate it with the fiery passion of someone who know's they'll never come close to something that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
