Axe-FX: Killswitch Engage "My Curse"

[Nolly]

Hey guys,

I thought I'd have a go at recreating this awesome metal tone with my Axe-FX, since I bought a Red Wire impulse pack today.
I found this great backing online, tweaked around a bit, and here's what I got:

It's not dead on, but I'm quite happy with how it came out

The guitar is my Blackmachine B6, with a Bare Knuckle ceramic Nailbomb in the bridge, straight into my Axe-FX.

Cheers!

Nice tone man, plenty 'o crunch and the P.h.
Not a huge fan of the band but it sounds great !

holy crap dude that sounds amazing.

 

[Nolly]

Wicked, thanks guys!

Personally, I feel this tone is slightly too "5150-y" for the KsE sound, a bit too snarly in the upper mids and not rounded enough in the low end. I may try with the Uberschall, Recto or VH4 models next, or even the SLO.
Cheers for the feedback

recto and 5150 would nail most of their tones boosted with 808s of course.

 

[Nolly]

Yeah, you'd think that would nail it but there's still something missing. I have hope for the Uber and VH4 models though.

Wow,very nice sounds like the album. Killswitch Engage also a very great band to have in the collection!!!!

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

That sounds frickin rockin!

 

[Nolly]

Thanks guys!

 

[lolzgreg]

Sounds awesome.

I would try to get a bit more mid content on those guitars to put the nail in the coffin.

 

[Nolly]

Thanks for the feedback Greg, I sent you a PM

Like I said on BKP forum, this is a very good representation of the ceramic nailbomb. Great tone!

 

[Nolly]

Cheers nbarts, your clips always sound great so very cool to hear that from you

 

[AdamB]

When did you go from coldsweat to ceramic nailbomb?

Sounds great too mate

 

[thiswaythatway]

Shit, that sounds damm close.

The closest I came to nailing the KSE tone with the Axe-FX was with the SLO model.
I can't record for shit though

Who cares if it sounds like KsE, because this sounds fucking AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the comments guys!
I've since done a clip that sounds better to my ears, you can hear it here:

this is AWESOME! i am so jealous of those skills.

did you end updating your Axe-Fx? I think I saw on sevenstring that one of the updates wasn't to your fancy and you went back a version. I have an an Axe and need to start tweaking.

It's sounds really heavy, the only complaint I have is that I hear some crackling before the right guitar part kicks in.
