black metal distortion?

i'm generally looking for something that'll give me that super chainsawy fuzzuzz, ala leviathan, "filosofem" era burzum, or weakling.

 

if none of that sounds familiar, think of a super distorted chainsaw jacking off on a ghost.

try stacking fuzzes and distortions. also, those recordings (leviathan, xasthur, etc) usually have several layers of multitracked, fuzzed out guitars to get that ambient fuzz/drone effect.

 

 

thanks. any fuzzes you can recommend? i've been out of the loop for awhile.

get a guitar pod and tascam 4track mkII portastudio. find acceptable tones by driving the pod's various amp emulators and the portastudio preamps at high levels. this will accentuate the inevitable artifacting brought on by pod distortion as well as the ugliness provided by tascam's gain. following the preamp stage be sure to crank the channel eq gain on one if not all three bands of the 4track. manual automation from tascam output to cdburner accentuates the {censored}ed up sound.

wow. a bunch of people are oddly hostile about black metal. :freak:

try a few fuzzes and distortions, together and seperately, to get the sound you want. i have a fuzz factory, but i'm sure you can find something cheaper that will give you nice buzzsaw sound.

I had the old version when DOD still made them. Was too crunchyot harsh enough for my liking.

 

 

Maybe you'll like this one better http://www.digitech.com/products/Grunge.htm

 

Don't let the name fool you, this little pedal can produce some

buzzy chainsaw sounds - just crank the high and grunge knobs.

 

I don't consider myself an expert in black metal (heard very few

known bands and some local bands here), but I think there is

a good chance you'll like it, and it's really cheap.

What's your setup, amp-wise? The black metal band I share my rehersal space with uses a bunch of stuff for the various guitars, like the HM2, a Trimetal (both already mentioned), a turbo rat and the gain channel of a JCM 800 head. The unifying thing about their sound is, though, that everything runs into a loud tube amp.

5150II running into a behringer cab. it's nice for other types of metal that require clarity and crunch, but all the time in my recordings i feel it could use that compressed-fuzzier chainsawness.
