Does Any one know some good setting to get a good Static-X or Slipknot tone. Thanks

Sorry, couldn't resist.

step 1: put on clown mask
step 2: sing about mom being stupid and other assorted topics of suburban angst
step 3: ?????
step 4: profit.

does anyone else see the irony in a guy named "tonedef" looking for a Slipknot or Static-X type of tone?

ok, lets ease up alittle..

you do want less mid's and more treble and bass.. lot's of gain and no reverb or delay..

A long time ago when the 1st Slipknot cd came out, I spoke with Mick at a show and he told me his sound was a Marshall JMP1 into a Mesa 2:90 power amp, I think. He also used the eq on some crappy Boss rack unit. I don't know if the old other guitarist played on that cd or if it was just Mick. Jim was using a Mesa DC-10 at the time live. I guess my point is their sound on the CD sounds a lot darker and sloppier than I think I could get out of my dual rec. I'm not knocking the sound... I actually really dig the vibe of the overall sound of the 1st cd. I didn't like how with each cd things started getting clearer - especially the last one where they stopped recording to tape and went with protools hahaha....

I would try setting your dual on the vintage mode - the modern mode has that extra top on the sound that makes it sound a little brighter.

As far as Static-X, I don't know anything there at all. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was a Line 6 or some other fully digital setup.

Static-X is a Marshall MG :wink:

What do you mean you are most likely right.
