For anyone that wants to know, Ground hum can be reduced if you know electronics! First check your guitars wiring, caps etc. Direct solider your ground leads to your potentiometer's Heat shrink as much bare metal as you can, use good quality pickups (Anything with wind information is a good start) get pickups that tell you how there wound, its a simple way of knowing that they were made for reason. Check your jack!!! Jacks are usually the main problem for ground hum, Contact is everything, Make sure your cable end is getting perfect contact with the inside of your jack, unscrew the jack and plug in the cable, is is touching the right spots? Is there gaps? If there is gaps, close them, no harm in re bending the contact points. And remember, don't use a guitar cable you don't need, if your going to an amp with no gate, or a PC connection make sure to keep your cables the length you need, with any cables that are excessively long you'll end up with hum, if your sitting still close to your amp, you don't need a 35ft cable. Your not on stage. And if you were on stage you would be using the correct equipment re reduce any noise you don't intend to make.
It's really common for guitarists to think they need more distortion than they actually do. Even the heaviest bands probably use less distortion than the average bedroom rocker. Also run a tube screamer type pedal into a noise gate, then into your amp and turn on the overdrive on the amp. Turn the gain down and the volume up on the pedal and use the gain on the amp to dial in adequate distortion. That's how I do it. I'm running a joyo bantamp zombie (it's supposed to sound kinda like mesa boogie) and a cheap overdrive pedal and I get pretty good results
Me with emg 81 85s... that's not metal enough... Me with Dimarzios.....what is that mesh of noise???? I like my emgs but that question is for the both of you lol... Emgs are great, but they are a specific tone and generally not as versatile..
To be fair, I liked some of his later tones and I'm not saying it was bad...But Dime had a very specific tone, and many guitar players including myself think him sticking with solid states by randall or whoever was a mistake... Obviously not this 12 yr old kid tone problem Just wanted to get that out there
Yeah but at least in my experience, gating a distortion too hard seems to remove a bit of the tone of it, so you really have to find the specific sweet spot
@@connordrysdale5333 is it a grounding problem cause I definitely had that problem until I went back and wired all three ground cables up, and also it could just be the pick up model cause it’s almost impossible for pick ups to go bad what kind of emgs you got?
@@jay-pi5gn it could be a grounding problem, but idk how it would’ve happened because i followed the diagram. they’re the zakk wylde emg 81/85’s, it’s odd tho because when i plug into rock smith i get all the distortion i want, just not with my amp and pedals
This is why noise gates are so important. And why it’s also a good idea to use as few pedals and shit as possible. Remember kids, a clean signal chain is a SIMPLE signal chain. Also: Please use the effects loop in the back of your amp (if your amp has one). It exists for a reason.
Thanks for the highlight there, my dude. Was thinking about black metal again and maybe trying some techniques on my guitar that I have tuned to standard c. (I know that’s not what you used. But oh well.)
Does anybody have any songs that sound like the second part? I to hear some electric guitar being absolutely distorted similar to what you hear in the second part.
@@gloomsdoom649 I just had a setup done on the thing, and the power supplies are all brand new. I discovered it's the DS-1 I got. Any of Boss' DS products seem to have a coherent ground hum to each of them. Probably using cheap ass chips because I just got a mega distortion and that shit sounds tight.
That's why I prefer overdrive over distortion pedals, though both need dialed in along with the amplifier. Many of the latter were designed to be ran in the effects loop to sound good (I'm looking at you, Boss MT-2).
Depends. I love a lot of the garage/psych bands like The Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Fuzz, CFM, Naked Giants. Those bands utilize feedback quite alot and it sounds badass.
I just got my first foot pedal and finally got a power adapter for it and put in the right connector just to turn it on to an ocean of interference noise. I found out though that turning off the distortion on your amp first will get rid of that.
I'm so confused. I've been able to get good distortion sounds since I was playing on trash equipment. My guess is your gain is too high and the mids are too low, or else the source of your distortion is crap (bad amp, bad distortion pedal).
Oddly enough, I actually don't get that. Even without a single noise gate, I don't get much background noise, if any at all, unless I have it dimed. Then again, I have an HM-2W, not an original, so that may be part of it.
A noise gate is essential, and a ultra high fidelity instrument cable like the Boss Premium BIC-P series models, is totally worth the investment, especially with their lifetime warranty. This is assuming you have already resolved any grounding issues the guitar may have.
Relatable lmao , my friends actualy started complaining about my distortion, but I dont actualy know how to fix it properly. One cause is my Phone microfone, since I use it to record and the other one was Delay and Hall, I love these effects but I cant play with them if I would want to record.
Noise reduction does wonders for distortion along with setting up a mixer or if you lack a mixer toning the amp and any pedals you use to give less static and feedback. However, i still enjoy the local shows where gain and treble are at 10 and you leave with tinnitus, a headache, and multiple bruises.,😅
@@freewayross4736 actually I was quoting the late great Dimebag when I went backstage and partied with them. He brought a guitar that someone won off a radio contest or something like that but this guy tried showing off and was playing one of their songs and that’s close to what he said he actually said you can be the best technically sound guitarist but if you don’t have any soul in it then you’re just playing with it, as he pointed to his private area. So you can take that and put it in your pipe and smoke it because I was only commenting not trying to be a DICK like your trying to make it sound
@@medusa6491 you know Medusa he actually commented back and said thank you 🙏. So with that being said I guess there’s always a jackass in every comment section. And I’m thinking that it’s you and one other guy who thinks I’m STOOOOOOOPID . And who’s stupid here when you spell it stopped 🤔
Jamie, I just have to say it's nice to see someone else playing the domination riff with slides. Every time I post a video, everyone tries to say they're open notes because of the monsters of rock concert, not slides. 🤦♂️😂🤷♂️
Anyways, here’s how to get a metal tone on electric guitar: step one put the pick up thing all the way down to the last pick up step to twist the knob on the guitar fort to the left. Make sure it’s all the way and then twist it to the right hook your guitar up to your amplifier and turn on the gain to 10 or 12
Dimebag's dad, Jerry, said that Dimebag liked to create music that people would air guitar to with a groove. Out of the many musician deaths, I think that Dimebag's death was the worst. Was he a rarity in Metal and he just kept topping himself and he kept contributing tabs to Guitar World. He was a hell of a guy to the fans and would treat you like family. When I hear someone play Pantera songs on the guitar, I think about what Dime might have gone onto as he got older. Maybe an acoustic guitar set and some singing ? Who knows. He definitely still had ammunition ready for more amazing electric guitar work. He had countless plans for Dean guitars and gear. His unfortunate death caused a huge rift that never could be mended.
Well fuckin said brother. RIP Dime, we lost a fuckin god when they took you from us. Way too fuckin soon man, way too soon. Cheers! (Holding up a Black Tooth Grin, & lighting up a big fat number) To Dimebag!
Live, practicing with a band or recording this isnt really a big issue since when your guitar is super freaking loud then you need less gain to sound great. At home however at low volumes people will crank that gain to somehow sound at least somewhat metal…
What manner of wizard am I? I am playing Filtertron pickups through the Ultra Gain channel of a Marshall DSL with a tube screamer in front to play everything from Megadeth to Tool and I get zero ZERO noise. Maybe it's because the pickups are low output? My tone is definitely heavy by any standard.
Second part sounds like an entire different subgenre and imho sounds so much better that the first "expectation" solo. So much funeral black metal vibe \m/
I'm an idiot and use P90 pickups since the only guitar I own has them. They sound incredible with distortion, but if I stop playing for even a second, the horrible squealing feedback is unreal.

How do I get rid of that what do I need to buy

A properly connected Boss NS-1X fixes all of that. It gets inserted into the signal chain at two separate points with one pedal.
