| I remember reading an interview where he said that part of the sound that he got for his guitar tracks was due to him recording the guitar on tape at twice the speed and then playing the tape back half as fast. I dont know if it was that method he used on "last" or "suck". someone get trent on the phone, dammit. |

Thread Starter | Useful info. Mind you, my guess is that it can't have been used on Last, because of the speed of the riff. If you play something back at half speed, it would halve the frequency, or drop the sound by an octave ... so that's a pretty common technique. I've just pitched the track up by an octave, and you'd have to be a nutter to be able to play that riff. The tape thing is probably part of the sound though, because the guitar does sound saturated to hell :-) |

| I can totally answer this question. Almost all of the guitars on Broken were done using the Zoom 9030 amp simulator/guitar processor. Trent said that in several interviews and if you've ever heard one it's obvious. Trent was always way into recording guitars direct. This preceded the Pod by several years...I still own one and love it. honestly, one of the best guitar sounds I ever got was using only a stereo track of the 9030 and I'm generally the kinda guy that records several tracks of real amps, simulators, crazy panning, different tones, blending etc. It feals kinda harsh and digital by todays standards, but it was TOTALLY ahead of it's time...people seem to think amp simulation started with the Pod. |

| yeh zoom is good despite some snob it I use to have a cheap zoom 707 and i got the best distortion sounds out of it, upgraded to a Rolland vg-88 and all the bull s@#t that goes with it, no matter how much i tweaked i still couldn't get as warm n fat crunch distortion as i could with the zoom, i sold it and im back on the bay to get my 707 back. There is an interview on the NI website about what he's been using lately, mostly reaktor and guitar rig |
