Devin Townsend – Summeria
anyone know the opening song?
6:15 sounds like Deftones…
I dont believe you have a clue of what you are talking about sir.
He talks about balls & weiners a lot…
cool
i would like to know which settings and which DELAY is he using.
fag
WTF with this reverb ?
OMG that argument below me hurts my eyes 🙁
Open tuning is cool though 🙂
Peavey?:/ not sure about that!
Lol at first i tought he was a jazz guitarist.
It’s you’re.
Thanks. Won’t hurt having another listen to that album 🙂
i know ive heard it before, i think it’s from something off of ghost.
I would’ve if it wasn’t already tuned to open c from seeing an old video he did.
Wow, the last melody was really good. Is that used in a song of his?
My guitars are always tuned like this.
6:45 Synchronicity Freaks from Contain Us… if anyone is wondering!
it’s a custom model, so you’ll never get one unless you get a contract with peavey.
you lost me at it’s for fags.
Building tonal sculptures like layering guitar octaves & adding harmonies to those (panned), etc is gonna sound THICK all by themselves. Using proper room mic placement, and huge compression was the cornerstone of Spector’s instrument mixes, thus leaving room for reverb to actually be heard on vox,and selective solo instruments. I’m not slagging Dev; he’s one of our few latter-day musical geniuses left…but I find that reverb pretty harsh. Of course, that’s why they call it personal taste.
