Create YOUR Perfect Metal Tone (for 7 String and Down-tuned Guitars)

From the EQ to the gain settings on your amp, this video is all about helping you dial in the perfect tone that you love when playing a 7 string, down-tuned, or drop-tuned guitar.

And we're not talking about bedroom or practice tones. We're talking about a ton that's going to work well in the full mix (there's a difference and I explain that in the video here).

Note: 'Good tone' is subjective. And the tone you create today may be different 6 months, 2 years, or 10 years from now.
Also, you want to consider focusing on creating a tone that fits your style and the song, album, or project you're currently working on.

The point of this video is to share some things to think about when dialing in a metal tone that's going to sit well in the mix when 7 string guitars (or low tunings).

***Special thank you to my sponsor, Blackstar. In this video, I'm using the Blackstar HT Venue MK III amplifier.
Check out my complete overview and more tones with this amp in here:

I go through all of my EQ settings and share why I have the bass, mids, and treble at certain levels to accommodate my 7 string guitar.

It's also important to note that I'm using a guitar (ESP E-II Horizon FR-7) with active pickups, EMG707. The guitar itself has a more natural bottom end across all strings, not just the lowest string.

These are important factors as you'll need to adjust your gain and settings accordingly.

I also go over some special features that the Blackstar HT Venue MK III amps have and how that affects your tone.

At the end of the video, I share the details of how I recorded this 7 string metal song just for this video.

Again, good tone is subjective. I hope this video helps you dial in a metal tone that you love.

Keep it Metal,
Jason
