[The Dev]

With the perfect, loud clean tone...heavy riffs sound CRAZY...it's the way you pick it...

The ad999 replicates the effect of my GP100, and the Vibro King is ridiculously responsive to pick dynamics...basically one sound...ANY dynamic...it's all how the riff is played.

The EJ is (obviously) in C, and the 5 positions are all completely different, and the one knobs are almost like a wha.

I just want a perfect guitar to be LOUD AS FUCK, no distortion (other than the tubes) and only my delay, which I must have for my sound.

The compressor is always on, and just subtly puts things together.

Perfect sound for any of my styles.

Cool shit.

D-Von Dev should do a hip hop album!

D-Von Dev should do a hip hop album!

He already did that - with Stuck Mojo. Well, kind of... ...crosssover.

i really wish i was a guitar nerd to imagine what that sounds like

Thanks for the update! I guess it never hurts to ask for one sometimes. I'm sure everyone here is on pins and needles waiting to here what your coming up with this time around.

That guitar info makes me want to hear it even more!

no clue what Dev said...but yay!

Awesome!

Yeah, it was my impression that Devin did a lot more than just the vocals. He got a demo and then put his part together and sent that back to Arjen. So, he followed what Arjen had written but he put the Devy Sound into it. It's very obvious to me that he did the music for that section he sang on.

Or watch the DVD off the Special Edition of The Human Equation

I consider myself pwned now. Thanks!

yo...

A hugely complicated, dynamic metal 'symphony' thing...mainly instrumental...(except for the choir vox type shit) 72 minutes

I've already started it, and it's far over the top...the most complex thing to date.

tentative title: 2. (Zilly was 1)...whatever it's called, it's going to have a '2' in the upper right hand corner.

Maybe by Dec?

Seriously...FAR over the top...TONS of guitar...TONS of solos...TONS of layers, some Devlab / Hummer bits, some beauty, some hell...no breaks between songs...some super clean quiet bits...

No Ziltoid wackiness... I see it as a real DIY honest, adult thing. I want to write symphonies, but I'm a metal head, so here we go. I find it really natural.

Making music without touring IS a break as far as I'm concerned...

We all knew nothing could hold you down Dev =P. It was inevitable that after a short while of having your break, you'd suddenly have a huge spring of ideas burst open in your head like someone split the jugular from the neck of your creativity all over your brain....ok maybe that was a bit of a graphic illustration but you get the idea =D.

Serves me right for not checking the forums for a couple of days, I miss out on all this great news.
New album news so soon after Ziltoid is amazing plus the concepts Dev is talking about just leaves me wondering what to expect! I love it like that.
Cheers Dev.

I waited longer =[. Although life caught up with me and punched me in the face, begging me to take notice of it instead of wrapping myself up in Dev's eternal and almighty musical glory....I really need to stop using adjectives >=[.

Fuck yes. Can't wait.

I have no clue what Devin is saying with all the mechanics of musicianship, but I have a rough idea that the album is going to be huge. Haven't been here in a while and it seems like I have missed so much good news.
