King of dark tone!

I just got a EMG 81 fitted in my jackson, its running into my marshall tube tsl combo, I have an MT-2 and a super overdrive, I was just looking for some expert advice on how to get a black metal tone, like immortal in order to chuf out their riffs. I know immortal use marshalls, so I should definately be able to dial in their tone, thanks!

well, if you have a tsl, then sell the mt-2 and super overdrive....

for blackmetal dist. lots of lows,reverb, and presence, with not so much mids(but not scooped all the way!), plenty of highs and gain but not to much.
hmmm... dick with it.

#1 dispose of any and all external overdrive devices IE: MT-2 and any other similar pedals.

#2 Get an overall idea of what exactly you want to sound like

#3 tunr the knobs.... its scary at first but sooner or later you'll overcome your fear and learn to turn them to change the sound of your amp.

Depends what era of Immortal you are talking about. Thier old stuff had alot of mids and treble. Thier later stuff had that standard Abyss studio guitar tone.

You're a fucking moron if you think that. Pure Holocaust kicks the shit out of most of what they did after.

Im sorry dude, I merely stated my opinion. Here listen carefully. Ill put it in bold too IN MY OWN OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont like the really fast guitar riffs that i cant hear, and the constant blast beats. I like it in grindcore but not in black metal. ok. thats my own opinion, dont like it dont get offensive to me.

Wow way to be even more stupid. No shit it is your opinion, you wrote it. And in the same token It is my opinion that you are stupid for holding an unsupported since old Immortal does not have constant blast beats and riffs you can't hear. Listen to "Unsilent Storms in the Northen Abyss" or "Mountains of Might".

I have listened to those. Now you listen to ....
Battles in the North
At the Stromy Gates of Miist
Through the Halls of Eternity
Moonrise field of Sorrow
Curse Realms of the Winterdemons
Throned by Blackstorms
Descent into eminent silence
Grim and Frostbitten Kingdoms
Circling above in time before time
Nebular Ravens Winter
Battlefields
Winter of the Ages
and the last track off of Blizzard Beasts.

Out of the only two old albums i own that is 13/19 tracks with blast beats in them. Oh and they dont have alot of blast beats when more than 2/3 of their songs have blast beats.

And yes I said riffs you cant hear. That was only pretty much on Battles in the North. They jsut have entirely too much gain, I cant hear any chnges really.

I just find it quite funny when people get all bent out of shape over being insulted over the internet by a person they don't know.

Anyway, it is a tad unfair to summerize Immortal's earlier stuff with one album.
