Hey Devin or anyone else who really knows,

What Frequencies are you rolling off with your High Pass & Low Pass Filters on your Guitar?

What Frequency Bands are you Boasting and Cutting with your Multi-band Equalizer for your Guitar?

What are your Compression Settings on your Guitar? Compression Ratio, Threshold, any and all settings.

Where do you Typically Pan your Guitars in the Mix?

How many Rhythm Guitar Tracks do you Typically do per track?

Any other Tidbits of Info on what exactly you do to your rig to tweek your sound would be much appreciated

Do you do any Final Mastering with Logic? I have Logic and was wondering which setting you'd reccommend

When will Peavey be releasing the PDX-7 "V" (seriously...I can't find out any information on when & how much)

Like Ki, Love Addicted & but Can't Wait for Deconstruction!

Thanks,
Tony

What Frequencies are you rolling off with your High Pass & Low Pass Filters on your Guitar?

...typically most things below 60, and I usually cut a bit around 3.5, then boost more at 12-16

What Frequency Bands are you Boasting and Cutting with your Multi-band Equalizer for your Guitar?

...cut a db or 2 at 250, but boost at around 640 a db or 2. Always close mic, but never direct on the cone, always a bit off, but direct on the grill

What are your Compression Settings on your Guitar? Compression Ratio, Threshold, any and all settings.

...I never compress heavy guitars. I do it manually with automation, but mostly with the highpass and my picking technique.

Where do you Typically Pan your Guitars in the Mix?

...hard left, hard right

How many Rhythm Guitar Tracks do you Typically do per track?

...I used to do 4, now I do 2 per part. Sometimes it's many parts though...

Any other Tidbits of Info on what exactly you do to your rig to tweek your sound would be much appreciated

...track fx separately, If the guitars get lost, try boosting high-mids a bit before turning the physical volume up. When using the hi-pass, cut the lows until you notice, then back off...the hipass is just for getting rid of the shit that muds up the bass that you don't hear anyways.

Do you do any Final Mastering with Logic? I have Logic and was wondering which setting you'd reccommend

...I use Logic for synths and loops. I use Protools and hardware for all mixing and mastering. The hardware is expensive, but I've been collecting for years. An ssl stereo compressor, G-series, into a Manley Massive Passive. You can get a similar effect with a Waves package of ssl bundle.

When will Peavey be releasing the PDX-7 "V" (seriously...I can't find out any information on when & how much)

...I think so, they're hard to communicate with, but they keep making me what I want so... there. I hear 3 months though...

Like Ki, Love Addicted & but Can't Wait for Deconstruction!

... thanks, I love Ki, really like Addicted, and have had some pretty interesting moments with Deconstruction that seems like it could be monumental. It could just be awkward though... time will tell.

Yeah, I'd been searching like mad to find some sort of info on when they'd hit the stores. 3 months, huh? That should give me enough time to put some green aside. I'm predicting the price to be somewhere between $1500 - $2000 US. I may have to sell a testicle or something.

If we do the Strat, about 700


Oh pleeease do, Dev. I absolutely love the way the strat one looks.

My Google skills are lacking, I guess. Just found this info:

PXD Vicious Devin Townsend Signature Model

Designed with Devin Townsend
7-string baritone instrument with 28" scale
Maple neck-through-body design for incredible sustain
Alder body wings
Locking Sperzel® tuners
Adjustable bridge with string-through design
EMG® 7-string active neck pickup
EMG® 81 7-string active humbucking bridge pickup
Volume control
Three-way pickup toggle switch
Ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets
Glow-in-the-dark side fret markers for dark stages
Gun metal gray finish with black accents
U.S. MSRP $1199.99


Glow-in-the-dark fret markers = pure win. If there were just more glowy things in the world, life would be that much more tolerable.

Haha I guy I used to be friends with had a guitar kind of like that (except less good).

He gave a old strat-style guitar to his brother (one of those really awful budget brands), and told him to do whatever he wanted with it. When he got it back, his brother had cut it into a massive cock and balls.
