Members FWAxeIbanez Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 I'm listening to "this is what I know..." right now, and as always I am blown away by the guitar tone... any of you guys know what they used? I'd guess a strat on the neck pup (or neck/middle) for guitar most of the way, but what amp is that? anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MacBradley Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 The singer plays chords and does the finger picking strumming parts on a telecaster on neck pickup. The Lead guy taps almost everythin he does on a PRS custom 22 on the neck pickups always as well. They both play on fender amps, twin reverbs If i remember right. The both use Ibanez tube screamers as well If I remember right, the turbo model if that's the one with 4 knobs. Huge part of their sound is all the 6 DL4 units they use for syncopating stuff and the fact that most lead parts are tapped even if they don't need to be.

Members shredhead666 Posted October 24, 2005 Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 Where can I hear those guys??? I've heard a lot about them through word of mouth, but never seen any music for sale/download anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FWAxeIbanez Posted October 24, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 heh, its not the kind of tapping a shredder would go ape{censored} for... but if you're interested check out "They Make Beer Commercials Like This" or "This is What I Know About Being Gigantic" it's really good indie rock drinking music... and the guitarist is amazing, he came from Botch, an incredible (and I do mean incredible) hardcore/tech/metalcore band... and the lead singer came from a band called Sharks Keep Moving which is pretty good too, he's great at sounding sarcastic and non-chalant... great band all around! Very original approach to song writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FWAxeIbanez Posted October 24, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm wearing a Botch shirt as we speak... easily my favorite band and yeah, MTB is catchy as hell... I love this line "She comes dancing up to me, and she can't dance, but it's alright!" haha, I get this image of a drunken girl trying to look sexy while hobbling over to some guy at a bar, the mental images alone kill me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dead|3olt Posted October 24, 2005 Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 Does any one happen to know what gear dave used in Botch. Both bands are really good, although botch holds a special place in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tyler N Posted October 24, 2005 Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 Dave is a great guitarist and I really love both bands... I think I liked Botch more though. I wish they were still around. I think We Are The Romans is one of my all time favorites. I think Dave used a dual recto in Botch.. not sure though.

Members FWAxeIbanez Posted October 25, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2005 thats a dual recto on the album?? man, my recto never sounded like that... my uber is a bit closer tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members facefirst Posted October 25, 2005 Members Share Posted October 25, 2005 Menos El Oso is my new favorite album. I love how most of the songs are sung in third person. My god, they are sooooooo good. I first saw them a few years ago opening for a band I liked and I remember telling my friend that they will be huge. I still think their marketing potential is huge. Regardless, they're writing awesome original music instead of trying to fit into some genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
