Yeah, I’d agree with you on that. A lot of them are just plugging their own gear constantly and just plain talk too much. Not here for old fish wives blether! Here for the riffs!
They are both SAF. Congratulations on the new Matamp. I am still quite fond of that old ROOST ! So if I was put on the spot and had to decide it would be ROOST for the big win. Great Comparison man, Thanks for sharing !
Sounds incredible, I’ve wanted a Matamp for so long, some day.. In the meantime though you have completely sold me on the Raw Heart. I love Yob, and have been thinking about this pedal for a long time. The combo with the Pharaoh is the sound I need. Awesome demo man!
Great demos man. I love that you run through all aspects of a piece of gear and that you play music that is interesting enough that it makes me want to fucking rock out the whole time.
Dude your videos are always the best. I downloaded your videos so I could just listen with my headphones at work lol. Nice work 👍 Looking forward to more videos!
Your songs are awesome. The tones are just a compliments to your writing style. Demo videos without good playing and songs are lame. You apply perfect context to the tones, well done
Great video, great sound ! GT1 is a beast, even with octave up. Rooster has a much more defined sound, but I prefer the dark / low mids tone of the GT1!
Anyone know how to tag Santa in a TH-cam vid? Cause I want everything in this video… riffs included. In all seriousness, and to echo what everyone else is saying, this has definitely become the goto channel for the ultimate doom/sludge tone. Absolutely glorious! Now excuse me while I go plug into my micro dark and cry tears of gear envy
I need an album to listen to with these songs. Watched many of your videos and I could seriously just crank it up and throw my headphones in while out and about. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work
I keep coming back to these videos. They are great! Have you utilized the effects loop at all? I saw a review saying it only works if you’re using a big analog tape delay? What are your thoughts?
Sorry, missed your comment. No, I haven't. The problem is, that the send is too loud for guitar FX, but if you turn it down, it won't be loud enough for the return. But there is a device specifically designed for that, it's called the Dumbleator. Unfortunately they're kind of expensive and hard to get, but there are kits out there.
Hey dude this video inspired me to get a GT1.. was just on the phone with them this morning talking about the different models and and what to get and why-the GT1 has so much cool shit going on. They told me the 120 takes fuzz better but your demos make me think it’ll do just fine?
And ANOTHER blasting demo of the GT1. Sounds dope, SO dope! Great riffs. I realized I hadn’t subscribed, so I jad to to that just to be able to un-subscribe due to the black tolex ;) Nah, kidding, Imma stick to that subscription from now on. Great stuff man 👍 // Wince
Great demo!! Honestly I think guitar tones with massive low end are for people who don't have a bass player to play with lol. On another note would like to see the Acapulco gold going into the Raw Heart.
Well, there is a bass in my demos, but you won't tell a human bass player to turn it that much down :) If I remember right, AG into RH was a bit much high end, but I have to try it again.
cool video, although I gotta say, I'm still quite a fan of that Roost head. I had never heard of them before your videos! I'm wondering, can you use the EQ on the roost or an external eq to get closer to the GT1? The guitarist from Frayle has a video on his channel where he plays the GT1 next to an Orange TH100 (I think) and the difference between them was perceptible, but all down to the EQ as he managed to get them to sound pretty much the same. I know its like comparing Oranges to Oranges right? I don't think the choice of head is *THAT* essential as a hiwatt, laney, matamp, orange or even an marshall will get you in the ballpark..., although that said I saw Boss Keloid recently and their guitarists use a matamp green head and cabs and a peavey 6505 and they have quite a unique sound. Anyway, cool video! I like that midi switch mod. I was thinking of building a passive switching system myself but I like that yours is midi controllable. Nice work and awesome tones dude
Thanks, nah, the EQ only brings you so far. I already matched them as good as it gets. I'd dial in a bit more mids on the GT1 normally, but then the Roost would have been sounded like a wet towel in comparison :) When it get's to the top end sparkle though, not a chance with the GT1. With the Presence knob past 12 o clock it becomes unbarably harsh. With an external EQ? Well, probably. But when it comes to EQ'ing distorted guitars, I just don't. It's the most tiresome and unsatisfying task and it always only gets worse. I know the Frayle videos, the GT1 video was a huge help in making the decision to buy that amp. I can't remember a comparison to an Orange, though, but I guess they can be pretty close, yes. Anyway, thanks for the kind words!
Hey man, great as always! I think the roost is way more defined and mid focused. The matamp is a beast on its own the sound breaks easier... I don't know which one I'd prefer depends on the context I suppose... So I also noticed that you've drilled the fuzzes, is it for the midi system you refer to? Also if you don't mind, were the customs fees, taxes etc for the matamp too much? If I recall you're eu based, and I've been thinking at some point getting a matamp but I can't get some solid info from the matamp guys... Doom!
Yes, exactly, that's for the MIDI system. The circuits of the pedals are untouched. As for the order process, I ordered them from matamp.de. This guy handles the whole shebang. It was actually the first order for him after Brexit and it was a nightmare and took forever. But he handled everything and checked the amp and biased it again before shipping it to me. Downside, it was a bit more expensive than the listed price...
sick video! Got any advice for getting tones like these on an orange th30? Im running a eqd hoof and plumes, got a walrus iron horse too. Really want to try and make the most out of what I already have without spending a load more money. Should i be running into the clean or crunch channel of the amp? Dimed volume and moderate gain on the pedals or vice versa? Is there simply not enough headroom on a 30watt amp to get tones like these? Cheers, love your channel!
Thanks! I would use the clean channel and get all dirt from the pedals. Dirt channels of Oranges sound great, but I never liked it with pedals. 30W are plenty!
Tentacle > Roost sounds absurd, wish i could hear that cranked in person. Its like a tidier, way better sounding dimed HM-2, has that chainsaw quality but you can still tell its a guitar haha
Love the bass on the gt1. Just gorgeous. I have one. In band setting I tend to dial the bass down and mids/treble up. Any tips on bringing out those bass tones while playing with others?
I think in a band context your approach is the best. Turn your bass down and let the bass player handle it. You could try to talk your bass player into turning down everything above 120hz and let the guitar handle that. I guess your bass player will not be amused :)
I rarely had good results with single fuzz pedals. Stacking is the key. A low gain OD in front of the fuzz gives you a good and tight low end. The type of OD determines the amount of low end. TS is very tight, Bluesbreaker not so, for example. And for the fuzz, I'm a fan of Muff-style pedals.
@@OscillatorDevices good to know cheers, I'm about to order a gt2 and want to get a fuzz but I have always struggled with the lack of low definition. I got a life v2 a while back and while it was fun it wasn't functional for me.
@@OscillatorDevices Yeah I am finding that too, you got a nice mix out of them tho, I am thinking bouncing all the drums and using plugins instead of the in AD box EQ ect.....
Man, putting your midi shenanigans genius aside, u seem to be the gold standard of doom/sludge related demos(imho)
It’s the “show, don’t tell” thing.. most people love the sound of their own voices lol
Yeah, I’d agree with you on that. A lot of them are just plugging their own gear constantly and just plain talk too much. Not here for old fish wives blether! Here for the riffs!
Sounds massive. Guess there's a reason this has become my fav gear demo channel on YT.
I've put these videos in a playlist that I just keep on repeat.
There's a world, and we live in it, where you are free to run both amps. I highly recommend it on these two based on the tonal differences.
The Roost has more on top but the way the Matamp spreads and envelops you is really nice.
Good job dude. The Tentacle is one of my secret weapons as well.
Yeah ok. The GT1 is my next go-to amp. Killer demo.
They are both SAF. Congratulations on the new Matamp. I am still quite fond of that old ROOST ! So if I was put on the spot and had to decide it would be ROOST for the big win. Great Comparison man, Thanks for sharing !

Thanks, yes indeed, so glad I found that combo.
My god. So incredibly HEAVY
Ooft! That opening riff is delicious!

Dude your videos are always the best. I downloaded your videos so I could just listen with my headphones at work lol. Nice work 👍 Looking forward to more videos!
It would be great to have a bunch of these instrumental doom tracks available somewhere. They sound fantastic and some sweet skull crushing riffs.
Your songs are awesome. The tones are just a compliments to your writing style. Demo videos without good playing and songs are lame. You apply perfect context to the tones, well done
Definitely the ‘go to’ channel for my musical tastes. Seeing loads of kit I can’t afford is depressing though. But I’ll live, I guess:)
Great video, great sound ! GT1 is a beast, even with octave up. Rooster has a much more defined sound, but I prefer the dark / low mids tone of the GT1!
Dude, yours demos are the fockin best on YT. No fucking talking, just sounds and very informative subs - awesome!
I love your demos. Keep them coming.
Wow man, I found this channel thanks to your reddit post. Awesome videos and you totally sold me the raw heart-pharaoh combo.
Love this Channel!! Thanks so much for all the killer content!!
Great tone, riff, and also mix.
Dude. Yes.
Awsome fn Awesome
So good :) This was really interesting to hear.

Excellent excellent excellent videos my dude :)
5:34 big Swedish HM2 DM vibe here
Never mind the green Tolex, where are the chicken head knobs?! 😂😎
Great demo! What cab are you using for this demo? Or if it's a load box, what IRs are you using? Sounds massive!
It's a load box. I use Ownhammer IR's. Heavy Hitters I, sometimes II. Preferably the Orange cab from I.
Awesome demo 🤘
Me want one! Nice work
Im thinking about purchasing addictive drums . How do you like it? any advice on what package? I want to Doom.
I need an album to listen to with these songs. Watched many of your videos and I could seriously just crank it up and throw my headphones in while out and about. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work
Thank you for that comment :)
I tried the raw heart with acapulco gold excellent sound

I guess he's right. The GT1 doesn't take fuzzes well on the dirty channel. Kind of like a Rockerverb.

Congrats for the guitar tones you achieve in all the videos! I really appreciate your music too: do you got some link for the songs?
Thank you! All the demos are on Bandcamp. oscillatordoom.bandcamp.com
@@OscillatorDevices I'll check it out.

Would you say the collider is the best of the delay/reverb pedals?
I havent tested any other delay/combo pedals yet, but I really like it.
Realy like your Matamp, its iconic no doubt, but still leaning towards the Rooster as a better pedal friendly concept. Great video as always🤘
Can you recommend a pedal that will give you some chug for the Gt1? Was thinking a tubescreamer would tighten it up. Thoughts?
Have you seen part 2 of the gt1 demo? And use the voice knob, I think it can give you plenty of low cut for chugging.
@@OscillatorDevices Any thoughts on a pedal as opposed to using the voice knob?
@@orion10x Like in part 2, the BD-2 works good, but in the end, any overdrive kinda works.
So after a few years with the GT1, how do you like it? Have you had any repair issues with it?
No issues, but I don't use it much. I always come back to the Roost.
thats a nice sized pedal board. what is it ?
A Pedaltrain Classic Jr.
What in your opinion is the best fuzz to retain low end tightness (as much as possible) on palm mutes?
I rarely had good results with single fuzz pedals. Stacking is the key. A low gain OD in front of the fuzz gives you a good and tight low end. The type of OD determines the amount of low end. TS is very tight, Bluesbreaker not so, for example. And for the fuzz, I'm a fan of Muff-style pedals.
@@OscillatorDevices good to know cheers, I'm about to order a gt2 and want to get a fuzz but I have always struggled with the lack of low definition. I got a life v2 a while back and while it was fun it wasn't functional for me.
@@1527nick I have one, too, but rarely use it. But a OD in front of a Rat circuit does wonders, too. BD-2 + Rat is great, for example.
Sounds lovely, were the drums a preset?
No actually. I use the United Heavy pack from Addictive Drums, but the presets all were basically unusable.
@@OscillatorDevices Yeah I am finding that too, you got a nice mix out of them tho, I am thinking bouncing all the drums and using plugins instead of the in AD box EQ ect.....
@@darthvader5701 Actually, I started by removing every single effect from the drums and suddenly they sounded kind of nice.
Would sound better with solid state amps.
So …… the Green amp is Orange, you say? Dude, put some more tobacco in it next time!:)
calling these demos are unkind to the performances at hand! wow dude you have an album??!?!? these tracks are ripping hard!
Thanks! I have two of the demos on Bandcamp, more to follow: oscillatordoom.bandcamp.com
@@OscillatorDevices yes!!! thanks dude!
You ever demo any of the Reeves amps? I’ve been checking them out lately. Great Vid!!!
If I'd get my hands on one, sure. But for now my funds are exhausted :)
