Mr. Browne schooling everybody out there in Rhythm guitar
I would say that his playing is equal parts leads and rhythm
+Kinnzie Martin Well, the modern prog style has kinda blended rhythm and lead into just playing.
+Kinnzie Martin Well, the modern prog style has kinda blended rhythm and lead into just playing.
+Alex Wright true that.
+Kinnzie Martin word!!! awsome blend of skeels
That smile at 1:02 warmed my heart. Such a fantastic player.
Why does this groove so hard.
The improvement in tone between this and his EMGtv performance of this song is actually insane
+KawlumPlaysGuitar I dunno about an improvement. A change, for sure. But both are just good as each other for me here. There are some points in this version where I think just a touch more gain would have brought the sound a bit closer to the album (not too much since this tone uses very little gain in reality).
His EMGtv performance of Atlas I love because the open low notes hit so hard and with so much bass (with the rest of the band behind them), and one part of the chorus here was a little too palm muted compared to the EMGtv one (that's might just be situational though).
it'a the ditching emgs lol ;)
That's a pretty narrow comment seeing that most of Brownes early videos conceptualising these riffs and recording were made possible by both Dimarzio and EMG.
The sound that you love from those albums were created with such gear.
Browne as commented saying that he likes many pickups, but for the more modern songs bareknuckle have been important for cutting through with the more concentrated highs and controlled lows.
So to say that it is better just denounces your interest in their gear.
He wouldn't endorse a company if he didn't believe it would credit and attribute to his sound.
Get off the EMG hate wagon and try and find a opinion of your own.
Peace.
1:40 don't know what's better about that lmao
I like the dryer sound of the Ironheart in the EMG TV videos than I do in the MESA videos, but that's mostly down to preference and how I dial tones in. The tone in this video is arguably "better", but that dry-as-the-Sahara tone is real OG MONUMENTS.
This song is one of the best guitar riffs EVER!
Everything on this song sounds amazing!
He deserves being part of a company as good as Boogie.
Thanks,Ryan Merica - That's a great thing to say and we appreciate it!
And the smile at 1:03 to 1:06!! When you LOVE what you Do for a LIVING!!!
Love how you guys put the amp settings in the description. so helpful for when i dial in tones. Thanks!
Thanks! +Jerrylee Stewart-Gonzalez :)
every time that I am listening to playthroughs late night after work, i finally end up here :)
Browne is one of the most original guitarists out there. Every time I feel a little uninspired with my own playing I watch one of these videos and suddenly the creativity just comes flowing back.
How can you fucking dislike that playing... A fucking master
Children sometimes make mistakes. lol
That song! That beard! That guitar! That right hand! That tone! So much awesome!
I never get tired of this playthrough. And that smile... such confidence. Badass.
1:03 "I'm the fucking boss" laugh
César Ventura He IS a fuckin' boss!
César Ventura he is like: i know right ! :D
One of my new favorite guitarists, favorite amp maker and favorite guitar brand. It's an all win!
Amazing! I love this band, so lucky to have seen them live twice last year :)
Sick tone! Just simply amazing! Bravo, Mesa
these crazy awesome riffs are really perfect matched mesa. nice.
Everything about this video is so good, and I'm loving the custom Mayones!
The fact that his own song can make him smile still is proof of genius!
That riff is retarded good. Like disgusting good
Agreed, Robert Wood ! :)
Love the tone on this one.
Amazing to watch this guy play guitar..
One of the best right hand in the business
Damn I love Brownes work.. Probably best sounding rifts ever.
One of the greatest guitarists of our time playing one of the greatest guitars of our time through one of the greatest amps of all time. I approve of this video.
Thank you for your approval, +zealot027 :D - We agree!
The finish on his mayones is mind blowing how good it is makes me want to custom build something from them
That Mesa sounds mean AF. This is a masterclass playthrough.
Thanks, +Jes Schwartz !
I wonder overdrive pedal he’s using ? Precision drive or Ibanez tube screamer ?
This is why Mesa is so cool! I already photocopied a roadster heat with a recto panel and downsized it with couple different faces. If it existed I'd unload my EVH 50 watter tomorrow. Just never bonded with the lunchbox recto. Thanks again
Thank you for this!
This is so intense to play along with. LOVE IT.
Can anyone briefly explain how the intro makes you feel? haha
pumped as fuck
+Jacob Butler Makes me want to fucking bounce wherever i am. Started doing a bit of a shuffle while on a bus once, people were dicks about it, as usual
Amazing love the tone ! And John is amazing too!
MιleZεro hahaha
Am I the only one that after each time i see him play, i find that my jaw has hit the floor by the time the song is done?
So nice and refreshing to see a beautiful non digital rig. ^__^
So Sick!! Great Tone!
MR. John Browne is a fckn genius. This song is a fckn masterpiece. Melodies , rhytm fckn everything. He deserves like 124452676347 attention for it.
Agreed, Yago! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
YO! His riff are insaaaaane!!!
This dude is a monster -- so amazing
I want a MESA now. hahaha Thanks for sharing the amp setting too!
Killer riffs.. and that right hand
I'll say it again... that Action on that guitar its super LOW!!!! Love it!!!
The best track on the album and i think this album is undoubtedly the best record of 2014 in prog metal genre
Man, this.. is... so... f*cking good!
Great stuff. Love the guitar, amp + cab, and tone.
Thanks!KillerShark73
SICK AS HELL!
DUAL RECTOS.........enough said! that sound is AWSOME!!!
this dude is insane.
Brilliant.
KILLER !!!
i saw Monument’s in toronto and they sounds killer live and i got a chance to chill with this guy for a while, pretty cool dude. but this sounds awesome ....... fuck i want a dual rec!
HeyMetalDerrik - Agree! John Browne is a good dude - and a serious guitar player. Thanks for the comments and hope you get a Dual Rec soon! :D
no problem and he really is a awesome guitar player. i've actually been looking into get a Dual Rec and im hoping thats soon. (ps would LOVE! to see mesa start offering LEDs in these bad boy like you do the Mini Rec) :)
I have this dual rec for sale hit me up
how much good sir ?
Hey are you still looking?
Well Just ordered one :D
My power song 🤘
This sounds so much better than the recording on EMGtv
+Jake Summers because EMG pickups are shit for starters haha
Arghhh I miss my Mark iii >.< I needs another one... and another Mayones :D
TONE FOR DAYS!!!
Dat tone doeeeee
My best advice to anyone trying to get there, train your ears as evenly as you practice. With the right patients, anything is possible.
Killer!!!
a quien rayos no le gusta esto??? maestro de la metrica djent john!!!!
This guy is fucking godly.
Listening back to this, it’s essentially the 7-string version on Animus
animus was called "atlas pt2" when they were recording it. You can find it on the tables in their album documentary
Very helpful for Rectifier owners like me :-) Great tones and interesting percussive playing!
Are those settings values out of 10? Thanks.
Hi Spirituality1980 - Yes - the settings suggested are values out of 10. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
MESA/Boogie Just wanted to say as a proud mesa owner of 2 dual recs 2 triple recs and a rectoverb along with a 2x12 recto and 4x12 recto cab over the years, It's great how you guys post videos like this and ON TOP of that interact with the working class musicians like us in the comments. Just saying THANKS.
p.s. Though i had to sell a bunch of my mesa products over the years mainly do to overstocking myself ahah, i still own My multiwatt Dual and Triple Recs which fuckin rock! thanks again
Thanks, William Potter - We appreciate the folks who take the time to let us know they dig what we're doing, or... letting us know what they want to see, etc. Thank YOU for your support and hope your current Mesa rigs continue to rock!
they do man loving em
音作りがすごいですね...すばらしい..
こちらの7stringguitarはどこのメーカーですか？
Saw them in Worcester, looked like he had a DR and a MKV?
That smile at 1:05. Yep.🤘🏻
Such a nice tone. I miss my recto.
It is. What happened to it?
It left you didn't it? I get it if you don't want to talk about it. I'll be here when you decide it's time.
Following up on a year old comment? I admire your commitment. Sold it because I thought I would get better tone using a Mark IV but could never get the sound I wanted. Am seriously considering selling the Mark and going back to a recto.
+Michael Beltran understandable. Rectos have a steep learning curve when it comes to eq. But when you get it right , oh my. I find the mark amps a little nasal. Reckon I may ditch my Framus Cobra for a Recto at some stage.
I'm glad we had this chat. ;)
What sexy guitar .. wow
monsterous
my dream company that I wanna work for, and also wanna own a Mark V !...
Mesa Boogie 😍😍😍😍
all my love!!
Thank you, +Arshdeep Singh - We truly appreciate the kind words! Rock on. :D
Hey ***** - The 2x12 Recto cab is an EXCELLENT choice for rock. Its design is basically the bottom half of a Recto 4x12 cab, so it carries great low end support and overall frequency range balance. If you're not able to haul a 4x12 around, the 2x12 Recto is THE next best thing. Highly recommended! :)
Hi ***** - The Roadster 2x12 is slightly smaller and therefore offers *slightly* less bass that some would perceive as tighter bass due to less resonant space in the cab. This is the most noticeable difference between the two but doesn't really make one better or worse than another for any given style - just different flavors. The difference is probably between 3-4% between the two - just in the bass. Most people get a Roadster 2x12 to match perfectly (aesthetically) with a Roadster head - OR - they like the slightly smaller footprint & couple of pounds less weight, AND/OR the tighter bass. Keep in mind, the overall amount of bass is mostly controlled by the bass knob on your amp and your overall sound, BUT - since everything affects everything, a little less bass response affects your overall sound. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest!
+MESA/Boogie
you seriously made my day by replying...thanks a lot... :)
been your fan ever since I got to know that Lamb of God (and eventually almost every big heavy metal band uses Mesa Boogie!)
I've owned several rectifiers over and over, and always sell em just to getxanither! Lol! Really wanted a mini, but is chassis was just too small. Any interest in making a head in between more sized like v the "ouch" evh 50 watter?
This sounds like a great idea,Praetor1320 :D
Cool, a killer 22 inch half power rectifier with more of a roadster or road king meets a stiletto look! A "Speedster" 50 watter, 2 or 3 channel. Usable clean, sick dirty all recto! A perfect for home, studio or stage! Then throw in a white tolex for the flashy clients!
Copy this,Praetor1320 - I'll pass the thoughts along to the design team and let's all cross our fingers! :D
MESA/Boogie while were talking to the design team... for the love of God can we get a setting on a recto that does what an OD does to tighten the tone.... just one switch... on the red channel.... for those who WANT this tight thump attack... the added gain of the op amp helps too... ive also experimented with cutting 12dB of 30-125Hz out of the front end and cutting 8-12dB out of 250hz. I find the attack trightens up and the preamp gain can go as high as 3oclock. Someone at Boogie ... go to the tone lounge with a 2ch, an old 3ch and a Reborn... plug into a recto 4x12 and just try this...i love your amps... a few more tweaks and youll have players come back from a lot of other companies if you have what they need
... KILL ON CONTACT BOTTOM END!!!
....few more details.....i have a 2001 DR 3ch. Boogie 6l6 and pre's. Red modern. Similar settings to johns. I've experimented with an MXR M109 6band in the input with good results.... but the best result when using a EQ to boost was an MXR KFK1 (or M108) due to the added input gain. Either way the input bass attenuation allows the bass pot to be set between noon and three with no flab. And allows gain pot on Red Modern to be almost maxed out... the added gain slider on the ten band EQ tames the gain yet allows full harmonic saturation. Some one try it and let me know..... im willing to talk anyone through this setup if i lost amyone.... cheers
All great suggestions and killer experimentation, Sixtyfive O'five . Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed thoughts. We'll pass this up to the folks in the Tone Lounge and see what we can come up with... :D
The recto might not be the tightest or clearest amp out there but it's got soul. Angry soul :P
Guys is a Duvell better for tone than say a regius or setius? I don't know if I have enough kidneys to sell for anything above a Duvell.
This is another great example of the tone I am looking for. I have a Mesa boogie dual rectifier as well and I want that really crisp chunky tone he has and John has in the other video. I love my Mesa believe me, I know they are using some sort of pedals to get this sound. Is he even using any pedals on this? because my Mesa sounds nothing like that with those settings.
HiJason Nolet - Congratulations on your new Dual Rectifier! Glad to hear you're enjoying
it. Regarding getting a tighter sound, the first thing we would
recommend is noting where John Browne has the gain set in this video -
fairly low. This is because the higher the gain is set, the more the low
end and bass frequencies 'bloom'. If you want more gain but still want a
tight response, turn the bass control down - don't listen with your
eyes, listen with your ears. (In fact, don't even look at where the
controls are set - turn the knob until you get the sound you want... :).
Also, the louder your set the amp (Master), you'll perceive the bass as
increasing in percentage amount compared to mids and highs and
saturation/distortion. If you want the amp really loud, AND you want
more gain, you might turn the bass down particularly low to compensate
for all the different relationships that are happening in the amp. Just
spending time with the controls will help you find the sweet spots for
different styles - it's a very powerful piece of gear. Finally, it helps
to have ridiculous technique like John Browne if you want to have this
tight of response like his downpicking skills delivers... ;) Hope this
helps and thanks for watching!
Jason Nolet - Couple of things to note - John Browne's technique is world class and this is a big part of where the tone comes from. Second, he did have his signature JB Overdrive on in this video, set as lots of guys in modern metal set an OD to tighten the bass. That said, his overdrive settings are NOT what makes the tone in this video! Second, keep in mind that there are the original guitar tracks on this video which are mixed lower in this video but help to create a thick, double tracked effect in the video which you can only get... if you double track. Finally, learn how to pick like JB and you will sound great no matter what you play through. Hope this helps!
MESA/Boogie Thank you so much for all the responses, I could not be happier with my purchase. I wrote quite a message in the other video so I just want to say thank you.
Note, I did take into account when you overdub guitars like in the video you get a fuller, fatter, and just overall awesome sound. I record myself as well, and so far not any other amp has come close as this amp has to the tone I am searching for.
I will take everything you just told me into account and work with the settings some more. Thank you again for the responses!
Great tone! Can you get a similar tone out a throttle box eq?
HiCirej DC - Thanks for the kind words. The Throttle Box sounds great but a pedal will never sound quite like an amp & 2x12 closed back cabinet. The Throttle Box does some great high gain sounds so if you have a small practice amp that doesn't offer a lot of good high gain, the Throttle Box will be a great addition. Thanks for watching!
2:28 IS THAT AN UPSTROKE?
Ha! :D
The fact that the world is still turning, I don't believe so.
Does anyone have tabs or lessons for this song?
I want to play this song so hard but I havent played in years.
Just got myself a 7 String after over a decade so lets gooo
No way! Monuments is the best DJENT band ever!!
Hi! Love this sound! Have dual at home and thought I would give the settings a try. But I din´t understand the settings. I have read the comments and on one comment you say it is in the step of 10 and on another comment you say it was in the face of a clock. In face of a clock I guess 6 o clock is the knob at max. So is it in step of 10 or the clock? Best regards
Hi +Anders Fogelqvist - The settings as listed in the video's description are based on 1 - 10. So, 4.5 on the Gain control is just slightly below halfway up. Or, opn a clock face, just below 12:00 (straight up). Hope this helps and thanks for watching! :D
+MESA/Boogie Thanks! That was very helpful!
Anyone happen to recognize the pedals he's running? you can see them around 2:00
I think I have that same t-shirt. Primark, right?
Some may call this metal (not sure.) I call it JazzRockFusion. Whatever category it may be? I like it.
someone give me that settings which he has here its amazing sound
Hi xx2 - Settings are in the video description. Check em' out! :D
It needs to be about the size of your 212 vertical cab, and more than the mini and still a real rectifier! With a nice clean and a sick dirt channel. Usable as a real gigging amp! Use the roadster look. Call it a speedster!
Rick Pimentel & +Praetor1320 might be on to something here... :D. I think the Sppedster name has already been used (bummer cuz that's a cool name) but I like where you guys are going with this.
I'd love to see a video with the guys of The Contortionist, they are avids Rectifier's users ;)
Good call, Daniel - we need to set that up! :)
Holy cow, I never thought you will reply me so fast. I liked your Monuments and BTBAM playthroughs, and , obviously, the JP's demos, so it caught my attention the fact that you didn't record something with Robby and Cameron. Looking forward for that happening ;)
Any guitat tuning you guys know?
Does anyone know what string gauges Browne uses?
They seem rather light, but that Ab looks tight af
+Mason Stanley 10-59 for the stuff in Bb, 11-64 for the stuff in Ab and a 74 for F#/F. In this case it'd be 10--13-17-26-36-46-64.
Part of the reason it looks so tight is because of the little bend/vibratos he does on some notes. Blink and you'd miss it sometimes, and he picks hard enough that he can probably afford to tune the Ab down a few cents so that when it goes sharp on the open notes he can compensate.
Of course I could be -completely- wrong, but that's what I do.
In the settings is it like, "4.0 o'clock" or, "4.0 notches" on the knob?
jaime Peck - clock as in the face of a clock. Thanks!
Lol dat smile 1:03
+Prog Pogs The joy of getting some part just right and it sounds sick!
isn't it endearing?
Judit Molnár-Tuovinen You are everywhere! Seen your comments All over thall youtube.
Mad Architect is that a bad thing? Lol. Avid Monuments fan here, that must be the reason behind this strange phenomenum
El pelucaa sappeeee!
what are those pickups
Wow who knew Post Malone could play guitar like this
This wasn't funny the first time you posted it on the other video and still isn't.
I think his mind warps time, and he really sees his fingers going 0.5x speed.
Oh sheeit son, nice
I'm thinking about moving over to the Mesa team but not sure what amp will suit me for heavy metal and progressive metal...any suggestions?
Hard to beat the RectifierMarco Sorto, although the Mark V is also killer for modern high gain sounds, although it might take an extra minute or two to find YOUR sound. The graphic EQ on the Mark V really makes it though, especially for extended range and lower tunings. Can't go wrong with either of these for modern sounds.
MESA/Boogie thanks for the reply I think I'm gonna get the Mark V :) I tried it sounds pretty badass
Marco Sorto Great choice, but it may take you more than "an extra minute or two" to find your sound, especially if you have never owned a Mesa with the graphic EQ before. The Mark V is a tone perfectionist's dream, simply because you can tweak to your heart's content. That being said, it can take you weeks (if not months) to really understand the ins-and-outs of the amp. That being said, if you stick to it, you will get a sound that will sound bigger, thicker, and fuller than anyone else's. Watch John Petrucci's playthrough of the amp on this channel to help you learn how to set it up. He does a phenomenal job explaining the ins and outs of the Mark V. Also, if money becomes a problem, look at the Dual Caliber series. You can easily find them for under $700 used (US dollars), and they sound very much like a Mark IV, but with a little touch of rectifier fizzyness. That is my amp, and I love it.
+Alex Wright yeah man it did take me a while to figure the amp out and get "my tone" hahahaha. but I managed hehehe finally found it hehehehe. I'm gonna look into that amp you are talking about and give them a try :) thanks man. wish I had seen this earlier sorry for late reply lost account :/
Marco Sorto No problem, just trying to help wherever I can.
If Meshuggah and KSE had a guitarist.
what is the tuning? ??
tuning?
I'm still wondering what tuning is he using with the 7 string stuff.
+chino Mndza Four tunings, depending on the song. This particular one uses Ab-F-Bb-Eb-F-Bb-Eb. (it's a variant of DADGAD tuning if I remember correctly with the D dropped a full step and an extra string on top).
thanks,I guess Im gonna be needing an extra set of 7's and 8's just to play their songs,since my solar 7 is tuned to periphery's regular 7 string tuning
Was this an open back or closed back cab?
Closed back 2x12 Rectifier Standard, +Cameron. Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks! How could I not with such an awesome geetar player.
