Favorite live distortion tone?

Ram27 · 01-19-2019, 12:12 PM

When the loud part in Mayonaise first hits on 8/14/93 holy fucking shit

esp like the change between the 2244 chord and the 466 chord. gets so much deeper and rawer

mcis rig muscle / attack / cut

Mals Marola · 01-19-2019, 01:36 PM

yeah in terms of original lineup era or whatev, MCIS is hard to beat

a lot of his lead tones in the Zeit era were pretty sweet as well, tbh

cork_soaker · 01-19-2019, 02:04 PM

not sure at what point in the tour he started doing this, but during certain passages in certain songs, bill’d switch to a patch that gave it extra squeeze/cut.

gm place, where boys fear to tread, descending riff (3-2-1-1-0-1–1-0-1) is a great example

Billy's Machina live tone(in person) changed my outlook on tone. That's why i bought his amp after 17 years of waiting. I never found a perfect recording of it on any live video but the closest to what i heard from the front row is the Utrecht, NL show.
It's low output pickups into a jacked gain Diezel. I prefer higher output and the gain down some but it's fun to tinker with every once in a while.

perhaps a simple nerdwarning will suffice for now

houseofglass11 · 01-19-2019, 05:32 PM

His 1993-96’ JMP-1 rig was the best. His tones have never been as good since.

So that’s a B5/F# chord and and a C#5 chord...

I would, but it hasn't been made yet.

Mals Marola · 01-20-2019, 06:55 PM

ok then what is

132030 ??? (from thickest string upward)

johncg · 09:39 PM

Fmaj7(9)(13)

or

Fmaj7(add6)(add9)

or

Fmaj9(add6)

or

Fmaj9(13)

You could add (no 3) to any of those notations as well if you want to be super specific since technically there is no third in that voicing.

So, for example:

Fmaj9(add6)(no 3)

Honestly though I would just think of it it as “F” with open strings and color tones from the major scale thrown in there .

johncg · 01-20-2019, 09:37 PM

That was fun. Thank you for indulging me and my useless knowledge.

Mals Marola · 01-20-2019, 09:39 PM

ya i've got a lot of chords i use fairly regularly that i usually just refer to as "that weird F chord" or whatev

from what you just posted above, it looks like i may just be continuing to call them that

johncg · 01-20-2019, 09:46 PM

That’s a pretty one. I love those kinds of chords.

8x9070 is another fave of mine

or

8x9080

I honestly just think of it as “C” even though technically I know there’s extra notes.

“Keep it simple, stupid” as the recovering alcoholics say.

redbreegull · 01-20-2019, 11:01 PM

I'm going to steal your guyses secret chords

Ram27 · 01-21-2019, 02:38 AM

lol my guitarists made fun of me for how i notated chords in songs i wrote then posted to google share

like i just said 'here is no why intro chord' [fully intending to show them what it was at practice] and they were just laffin

Mals Marola · 01-21-2019, 09:13 AM

isn't that one just an Amaj7 tho

Mals Marola · 01-21-2019, 09:13 AM

when it starts gettin' to shit like Amaj7(add9[subtract5]) i just say FUCK IT & call it the "alien A chord"

It’d be WAY easier and more accurate to call this Cadd9/F.

cork_soaker · 01-21-2019, 11:39 AM

when is a chord not a chord?

when it’s a neapolitan sixth
