Guitar World Gear Tour: August Burns Red Guitarist JB Brubaker | Guitar World
"I’ve been playing Ibanez guitars for years now and I prefer the prestige series necks because of how skinny and fast they are. Great for shredding. The Peavy 6505+ and 6505 amps have been a staple to the August Burns Red sound since our first full length. We’ve always played these amps live and have used them to record all our albums. The Ibanez TS-9 and EMG pick ups are also instrumental in getting 'my tone.' We’ve been using Mesa Boogie cabs since 2007 and have used them to record guitar on all our albums."
"I recently switched to Midi controlling for all of my effects pedals. I found that with our new material I had to do too much 'tap dancing' on my pedal board to get the sounds I wanted and I needed something to that allowed me to change channels on my amp and lots of pedals at once."
"Enter the RG-16. This midi interface has made my life a lot easier. Now if I want to go from, say, my lead channel with my NS-2 and TS-9 to my clean channel with my compressor, DD7, RV5, on and my NS-2 and TS-9 off, I just have to hit one button on my Mastermind Midi Controller. It makes my life a LOT easier and makes tone changes a breeze. The setup was pretty complex and required the building of a ton of custom cables. The cable making was easy though, thanks to the custom cable making kits that Planet Waves makes. "
My rig has come a long way over the last few years. For a long time I used only an overdrive pedal, noise gate, and tuner. It’s funny how the longer I’ve played the more obsessed with gear and effects I’ve become."

Not a fan of the vocals, too unclear and very compressed. The tone is nice though. The kick seems to high in the mix and its making the snare, high hat, and cymbols sound tiny.
That's just what I heard from the first two songs, it's a good production, just needs some tweaks here and there.
Michael looks pretty devastated when he makes a mistake.
So does Steve, but he keeps his eyes closed the entire time so...
"Now"?
They've been on the bill since day one.
Plus Obscura perhaps? Goddamn USA getting all the good tours![]()
I found their "Nightmare Fest Demo" which has demo versions of "All Dark Graves", "Leica", and "Ghost of A Stranger", with what sounds like a different singer, if anyone wants the link i can PM it to you.
You there.Yes, you. Learn how to punctuate.
I think they're underrated. I mean, true, they're not groundbreaking, but I don't see why every new band has to be. And they certainly sound better than a lot of other melodic/thrashy death bands. Good live, too.
man, ive been learning the faceless for about 6 months now, and this is imo, some of
the most funnest **** to play aye. also anyone see them recently, just cause im going to
see them in 2 days and just hoping they kill as much as they do on youtube?
fuckin raptor claw action
I swear The Faceless and Origin HAVE toured together...
what is the thing on the PD album art? is that a spaceship I assume?

I thought the theme was pretty cool.
Aliens taking over and the government knowing about it is a pretty interesting topic, i wish my vocalist would write some creative stuff. Instead of torturing people and shit.
they would rather sing about mountains, kingdoms, and battles (power metal influence present) than talk about gore and death like a lot of metal bands do. It also shows in the scales the use in their solos.
Nothing ground-breaking but a great addition to the genre? Interesting.
I dunno, I kind of agree with him.
Most of the songs have a real fun loving atmosphere. The bell at the start of An Autopsy, the ridiculous sweeps in Horizons Of Chaos II. The stupid keys and synths in Akeldama, the cheesy vocoder...
I dunno. It just feels like they had more fun with Akeldama.
PD is still great, but it feels so mechanical. Like they HAD to prove they could do a serious album.
I'm seein' them tomorrow!!!
I'm super stoked cuz i've never seen them live before. . .
The so called "homoerotic" clean vocals
