About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!
I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs.
Thanks for checking out my channel & please subscribe!
And this was a tutorial on how to play Slayer solos
It's funny cause it's true.
8:15 sounds like Raining Blood.
Glenn Fricker doing dive bombs? the fuck is going on here
When I recorded with him he told me "I bought a 27 fret Washburn with a Floyd in my 20s, and all I did was whammy shit." Then he played my guitar with a Floyd with pristine finesse. I was blown away.
Schecter Magic!!
stfu Glenn can only play an e a and d
This is the worst technical demonstration I have seen of this pickup... but certainly the most fun
+Esteban Cortes :)
It's honestly really basic, as if it's a newbie trying it out. But fr if someones who's never tried a sustainiac, tries a sustainiac, does exactly this.
I always found Schecter quality to be great.
Yup, i had 2 and just ordered my hellraiser fr today. Solid guitars
Yeah they put alot of detail... Especially their carbon fiber inlays..
I just got a Wylde Audio in the mail yesterday. It is fantastic.
I got a Demon-7, got me back into guitar. I'm looking at getting a 6-string right now and I've honestly thought about getting a schecter again, but for 6 string I'm looking all over as I wanna get another 7 and that'll be a Schecter again most likely atleast.
Me too but I can’t get away from the Gibson and fender stuff but I had an s1 elite, a syn gates, and I had a silver mountain and each one was really fun to play Around on but I didn’t use them to record with….
hey! sustainers are not only for diving bombs, there's a bigger world outside!
Schecter is amazing guitars. Anybody is a fool for not trying them especially with their prices
Someone please make 2:31-2:39 a GIF
Colin Clay you can do it xD
Google "youtube to gif"
That Schecter is fucking beautiful.
Pete Thorn is an absolute badass! been following him for a year or two on YT, and there's not a single person that I trust more for for honest, impartial gear reviews (Apart from you of course, Glenn!). He was Chris Cornell's guitarist FFS! badass. nice to see him on your channel! Winz!!
Glen, what's your opinion on Synyster Gates and A7X?
Quiverworm Play was gonna ask the same thing loll
LaCroix Productions! Xd
Say what you like about him, but he's one of the few 'guitar heroes' of recent times. Even modern guitar heroes like Jeff Loomis are still not that young. Synyster Gates is inspiring a lot of young guitarists, a lot of popular music these days just doesn't have bitchin' guitar solos and lovely lead lines, (he has riffs too obviously). He's a Van Halen type figure in a soundscape that's losing them. Great musician and stage guy to boot.
ScottishCunt Fuck yea man. He's the best guitar is of the 21st century by a landslide
Quiverworm Play..Synyster gates is nt even the 20th best guitar player out of the 21st century by a landslide...Synyster Gates is also pushing 40 yrs old...jus sayin....also A7X hasn't been good since City of Evil and I might even say Sounding the 7th trumpet was better
Pete Thorn is awesome, but if I was Schecter I would pull this video. This is the worst demo of the Sustainiac and what can be done with it imaginable. I don’t blame PT because I don’t think he knew anything about it, but the other dude should have.
Wow... the end sounded like all of Slsyer's guitar solos!
Glenn what is your opinion on guitar/ vocal harmonizer pedals Such as the boss Harmonist series for use in live situations or in the studio, would it be a good solution for iron maiden style guitar harmony on lead's or would you pan them differently, in the track, most of the leads that i do i generaly pan the solos dead center in the mix. so would the same principal apply for harmonized lead parts? could i get away with using something like the boss harmonist in the center of the mix or would it throw the lead channel out of phase?
The sustain effect is great, but what I really want to know is how it sounds as a neck pickup. Aside from one video Synyster's masterclass solo, I don't think I've actually heard the pickup on its own. Of course, that's not the reason you'd buy one, but I am curious, nonetheless.
I don’t know if it’s your type of music, but insane shredder types like to use it for it’s clarity for fast runs. Look up Berried Alive, some of his guitars have the sustainiac and it has this really distinct tone when playing fast.
Rob Chapman has a video of some schecters with sustaniacts in it from a few years ago where they demonstrate the neck pickup
Pretty clean tones on its own
These guitars are made for season in the abyss
The Keith Merrow signature model is incredible. Schecter has really impressed me lately.
Yeah, I really want one!
I have the KM-6 in trans-white, it is an awesome guitar. Love it too much.
I've got the Syn custom.... 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Can I buy just the pickup?
Zephyre it would be expensive to install and I don’t think all guitars can adequately house it.
$250 if you install it yourself. About $400 plus shipping to get them to install it. It's a tricky install, so if you haven't done guitar modding yourself, you'll have a hard time installing it yourself. The owner is a really cool dude, and he'll help you install it yourself over email if you're having trouble.
Zephyre
That would be a fucking mess of a job if you don't know what you're doing. If you're paying for it to be installed you might as well save a bit more and buy the guitar.
Is it really much harder than soldering a normal pickup? Wouldn't it just be a few more wires? I don't deem a pickup swap to be difficult to do...
Dan, you have to add a bunch of switches as well. To switch the settings on the sustainiac. It'll be messy for you to control it if you want your guitar to look good but it can be done and it will work.
I love the Sustainer - it is so much fun and so useful! The Sustainer makes your amp sound the way you wanted it too!
Don't let the guys in Sunn to get ahold of this.
I just bought the Schecter Banshee Elite 6 frs. Same as the one Glenn's playing but in Cat's Eye Pearl. It's awesome. I haven't really found much use foe the sustainiac yet but for recording it could make for some really cool background layers to add some more dynamics to songs. I like what Synyster Gates does with it on Dose. You can also get cool feedback from it. I'm just not good enough to work it into a solo effectively.
RealGamerManz Banshee honestly looks like the finest instrument ever.
Stefan Jankovic
Lol that's exactly what I thought when I first saw it. It had all tue specs I wanted for my next guitar too. I can't think of anything I'd rather have besides maybe a Musicman Majesty.
Stefan Jankovic yeah You are right bro. It’s like an organ among pianos.
I think this is the first all dive bomb guitar video I've watched.
This is my new song people. I call it epileptic!
Wuuuuuuuuheeeeeeeeeeuueuueuee
Anyone is planning on getting schecter with sustainiac, *STAY AWAY* from that shit!
I got the hellraiser 7string and that sustainiac drains the battery like crazy even when unplugged and switched off and eventually kills the neck pickup completely until the replacement! I had to go for rechargeable 9v but tops a month while the other battery powering the EMG is still good as usual. I am looking forward to replacing the sustainiac with another EMG x; it's just the wiring inside is crazy!
Trust me, you don't want infinite sustain, go for a good compressor and use NR properly and you will get killer sustain better than this junk. It's all gimmick.
etherlords88 schecter is over rated trash. It’s like the new upcoming Chapman.
@@silverdragon0000120 I started to feel like that as well... Within few weeks I started to face issues as well I never had with my other 2 Ibanez and jacksons for years....
I’m an idiot that I never really paid attention to Schecter guitars A because I’m lefty and they make almost every mode lefty I played once recently I think the banshee and I was like holy shit I need to save up because I want like 4 models
Does the sustainiac pickup still work when the sustainer mode off and the battery is flat?
Does a phone still charge if the charger is unplugged?!??
Schecter is straight garbage in terms of quality. they remove bad reviews online, their warranty is non existent. Don’t bother buying one new and expecting support for it. They don’t care and ignore your emails. I wouldn’t ever buy one. horrible price and quality. buy a sterling by music man jp edition for like $800 instead. the doo plays one and it sounds cool.
That shit was sick as F**k!
I would love to fk with that guitar thru a Digitech Rp5, or any of the Rp models.
Badass!
Thanks for sharing the video.
Love & Metal Horns Up High!
🤘🏻👽
This is like 20 years too late for us Satriani fans, but OK...
+dirty harry1881 lol
Not all of em. I dig him and it aint too late for me
They demonstrated sustainiac with the worst possible way! It seemed like kids who took two guitars and tried to have some stupid fun without respecting them! What a poor unprofessional video...
Kinda pointless when you're playing 64th notes at 360 bpm though...
Don't buy the sun valley shredder series! schecter is using mild steel to construct 100% of their truss rods in these specific models and a couple of others. Watch out for the spoke wheel adjustment with a shinny stainless steel spoke wheel those have weak truss rods. The Merrow signature has a painted black spoke wheel with steel alloy for the rod it's the same kind of truss rod I installed in mine after I was taken to dr. Longfinger..... Mild steel is basically raw or soft steel and can be bent easily. Well I basically starved myself for a summer to buy one of these. The white one to be exact and yeah adding some slack to the neck aaaaaand toast. Also I had a "tremolo-no" installed which has nothing to do with the neck and isn't a permanent installation schecter decided to really bend me over and let me have it, by telling me that my warranty was void and there wasn't anything they could do to help me... Gee thanks Schecter. Boy am I still healing after that ass blast. I've done everything to repair it myself all I need to do is relevel my frets and crown them and I'm good as new. But it was still shitty way to have your favorite guitar manufacturer burn you. But yeah watch out with schecter even on their more pricier guitars
Butchery of the whammy bar. :)
Leave it to Satch, Vai and Dime.
I dont know maybe take some time to experiment with this pick up and learn to use it before you make a demonstration video ???
These are really cool. I have a 1990-or-so Kramer Sustainer, with the original hardware in it. It does exactly the same thing, but I think the design has been improved quite a bit in the last 25-odd years.
Dude the guy with the purple hair is very strange looking his eyes go crossed randomly its hard to watch this seriously
sounded like they were gonna go into Raining Blood at the end there
Kinda Beavis and Butthead ! (inverted) I mean, when you gone crazy with sustainer.
This video was more about the dude on the right than a demo of Shecter's product. I learned nothing.
If you want to hear superb master-class vibrato technique, listen to Adrian Smith and Andy LaRocque. han
Meh, rather Steve Morse
I own a Super Shredder and i think ita a badass guitar. I love it!!
Why get sustaniacs? Just another excuse to crank the volume to level 11!!!!!!
What a slap in the face to great tech, ,think heroes Bowie riff,,Steve via Satriani, ,not space invaders ,
I love schecter but I don't like EMGs
Holy shit! It's good to see Pete here. I remember watching his series on "How to play Eruption" when I was first starting to play guitar and it helped me out so much. Much respect!
How quickly does the sustainer kill the battery with abuse of the use? I've heard that the Phil Collen sig goes through batteries like crazy quick.
Noeffnwaypal the battery drain isn't that bad. You just gotta remember to unplug the guitar after use. Leaving it plugged in will drain the battery even if the sustainiac is off but I've had my 9v in for like a month now and I abuse the crap out of it.
I heard you can use it for about 10 hours. I'm installing one in my guitar next week
Mrpres17 I thought it was about 15 minutes with constant use. 10 hours would be acceptable
I didnt know Cable Played guitar!
Big repect to BOTH guys, but as a long time sustainer user I can tell they haven't used one much at all...Harmonics dont work well at all with the unit on... just sayin' :) Keep up the jams and vids !
Total misuse of the tech... turn the tone back a little delay vol pedal... instant cello. Wammy it up and its a violin....
Adrian Belew invented the elephant noise and Eddie lifted it... ok back to being pedantic elsewhere
"That sounds like noise, Mr. Vai!"
Need an opinion, I have only the electronics of a Line 6 Spyder 4. I run the output to a Peavey KB 60. It has a this wierd thing with the volume through either channel. I can either have it set low to no sound or too loud and distorted. Anywhere in between crackles and sounds like the speaker is being punched. Is what I'm doing my own fault? Love the channel!
Can someone tell me what that white schecter is!? That’s going to be my next guitar!!!
Volumes Sun Valley Super Shredder FR S Gloss White
My cousin has the matt black model its sick as tits lol
Nice demo. Now every 14-yr will be begging mom for one. I guess we can forgive you for indulging your inner teenager once in a while. Would like to see a more diverse demo at some point. Maybe Schecter will hook you up!
The elephant thing (Elephant Talk) is Adrian Belew not Eddie. This is my favourite Guitcon video. :-) I'm surprised no one reacts when Pete mentions he worked with Michel Polnareff. A huge French star for decades.
Hey Glenn, a quick question about tracking. Unfortunately for the moment I don't have access to recording real drums, but I have a drum track on my DAW. When I add more tracks (guitars, bass, vocals etc) the mix clips--not the individual tracks. Is that something to worry about when mixing, or do I need to turn all the tracks down?
Pete Thorn is a machine!
Why would i buy these guitars from the link you shared in the description where it costs over $200 more? Thats ridiculous.
Because there are people from Europe who watch his channel
Yikes that sucks to have pay that much more. Didn't realize how inflated the prices must be over there.
Bwahaha! Coolest futuristic guitar toy ever!
Then again, I like precision classical music, so...Not my style of Metal either.
More of a spectacle suited electronic instrument. Still fucking cool though.
This is painful to watch them attempt dive bombs 🤣
Show us how it’s done!
You get the coolest people on your channel bro.
Know any metal songs that use sustaniac guys?
Hey Glenn, me and my band are soon switching to in-ear for live performances. What guitar amp would you recommend for this? We are currently looking at the laney IRT-studio SE. Is this a smart option or is there better bang for the buck?
Hey Glenn
+R0BO1 hey Rob!
Is it me. Or is it next to impossible to play regular chords on a Schect. The necks are too skinny! and frets are too high. Other than that it sounds good. But damn
I own a Schecter Kenny Hickey model and a C1 Hellraiser, both with a Sustainiac, and they fucking ROCK!!!!
Glen, being Canadian, does your bi-lingual schooling help get gigs like Pete Thorn was talking about in France?
Dive bomb at 4:50.... LOLOL!!! Made me think of Billy Squire. Everybody wants you. Good vid guys.
Acoustics are awful!! No excuse when yer all staying hotels ... Free duvets!!!! ha ha mint though!
Spinal tap. But the striker t to for a coffee, come back and it will still be going....lol. Can't wait to get my schecter
This explains why the lead player for Black veil brides uses the Sustainiac OEM SYN. He does really long divebombs.
I need one of those omg! I have a schecter blackjack ATX FR, but no Sustainiac......it's amazing
Well I'm sold, on never buying anything related to a Sustainiac system ever.
Schecters are typically really solid guitars though so is anything from World Musical Instruments.
This is the worst review ive ever seen
I fuckin love these pickups
Great Job my friends !!!
I have a schecter hellraiser c1 fr s diamond series, its the best guitar I've ever had in my life man
Why does Glenn always looks like he just smelled a fart when he's playing ...lol
juanchis is metal jajajajajaja
So, you mean I can make the cat screaming while its intestines are being ripped out back alley fight go on forever? Damn!
LEO!!!!!!!
What song did you use for your backing track? It stole my attention, and I need to know!
Am i the only who notices that they're talking about the sustainiac pickups, but neither one of them ever uses that pickup in the video!? They're always on the Bridge!
because the sustainer is not actually a pickup, it's an inductor, its got a switch.
Glen! you've always talk about vintage 30, have you ever tried any eminence speaker, like the man-o-war? do you have any comments?
Pete could probably play the shit out of a double neck guitar.
That really s*cked
And I'm still wondering if those can be drop-tuned.
that is fucking amazing
I just recorded a solo for a new song using the Sustainiac that's on my new C7FRS Red Reign. I played a series of slides and taps up and down the neck on the low B, three tracks using the one of the three harmony positions per track. With a touch of effects, it is truly a one of a kind sound that cannot be described easily. Most people that have heard it, and didn't know what I used, assumed it was either synthesized voices and/or a combination of synthesizer sounds. The guitar in general is absolutely perfect for me. But, I think the pickup is like super frosting on the best cake ever. I expect to see them show up in a lot of recordings/ videos in the near future...
dude... you say you don't play but to me it seems the oposite... just a little rusty
At the end I swore you guys were going to bust into reign in blood...SLAYER!!!
I got a Diamond Series Hellraiser Solo-6 about a year ago. Best purchase I ever made.
+HEXcellerate they're great!
Got some crazy sustain out of my les paul straight through a marshall recently. I like the hellraiser model. Will have to play one next time im at GC.
they make a lefty of the one petes playing that looks just like my strat i was thinking about trying it out having the Floyd rose and the sustainiac might be kinda cool to play around with
Glenn is the Alex Jones of the metal community
ALEX LIFESON IS A GUITARIST
GUITARWARS.COM
SniffSnoff Alex plays plenty of metal on his fucked up retarded show, I wish he'd stop.
No way you can’t even compare Alex to this guy. Alex is great.
I have not seen anyone use the Sustainiac with chords - does it work?
Was Glenn actually using the sustaniac? Wasn't the switch on the bridge?
Yes
Glenn are you playing through that PRS Sonzera behind you? Sounds killer man!
I love my Hellraiser Special, but damn I want the sustainic pickups so bad. Killer stuff. Schecter is my favorite guitar.
Thought I was listening to a nascar race at first
Pete's the fn man
