gawd.
Makes his own guitars. Through 2 SVT classics Demeter preamp Digitech Hardwire distortion.. An older photo has a TC electronics BB distortion with some boss reverbs and people talk about early stuff having a distortion+ sound.. Could put in a boost in there like the demeter Fat that |v|ark has up.. then what? Gotta research this more... |

Oddly enough I actually know Doyle, as well as a few other misfits present and not part of the band currently. Long story. Anyways, he gets his sound from trying to get a distortion at as load of a volume as he can. He uses the ampegs now because he likes a lot of lowend in his tone. I'm not sure what info he would want people to know the the hasn't told people, so I don't want to give too much away that I shouldn't.
In any event, you might be able to do like a distortion+ into an SFT and get close. |
Cool, you can tell he works at distinguishing himself.
I think I'm gonna have to play around with a couple things. The guy has some sort of Marshall and I'm doubtful he uses the clean channel much. He's throwing me a few ideas. Maybe the bassy wampler mod might do the trick. Might put a bass boost in front too. Thanks, I wish you ny/new england types would come up here more often.. New Brunswick... Canada that is.. |

doyle hates marshalls, and has never been quiet about it. lol. for him they're too midrangey, not enough bottom and treble. another reason for using a bass amp is that they have massive clean headroom. so think about it this way, the amp provides high clean volume with a lot of low end, the pedal does all the dirt. so i don't think putting a bass boost in front of a marshall is going to do it.
i haven't toured with him or the misfits, basically they're all from a town in new jersey near where i'm from. through friends of mine who know them, i've gone to hangout with them in my buddy's basement a bunch of times. from i think the last time i saw wolfgang was a year or two ago, and saw alex graves probably the same amount of time ago. jerry on the other hand doesn't come around that often. i think the last time i saw him was 2 or 3 years ago when the misfits played their annual halloween show, and after the show another friend of mine, who didn't believe me that i knew him, ended up going backstage and hanging out when jerry saw me up front at the end of the show. i actually want to come up your way to vist, i hear it's beautiful. unfortunately, i'm currently bandless, my last one was a dub band that kind went on hiatus due to other projects, our trombone player joined hub city stompers, our guitarist started an electronic project, and drummer is kind of a lush. i really want to get a neopsychodelic/doom/stoner metal band going, but no one around me seems that interested in it. |
Thanks for all the info. I figured that headroom was an issue, because of the bass amps. I'll have to relay that back. He plays in a crust/hardcore band currently maybe I could get him to try playing through his bass player's rig. Doyle is his idol, I guess. Not sure if he wants or can afford a whole new setup though.. I think I'll build him a Distortion + with a bass boost and send him with the info on the bass amps. Then he can try playing through a bass rig sometime..
We've a got a Jersey guy in our scene here that moved up a few years ago. He went to school @ Evergreen (i think it is, that cool school in Washington state) had a band called the Valentine Killers there. I think he's on his 3rd band here. Lots of that stoner stuff going on...Zaum are from here, doom stuff think Om.. later, thank you. |
