I have a quick question, how is Roope getting that synth/organ/orchestrated type sound out of his guitar in the 'Passage To The Reaper' demonstration that Alexi Laiho and him did together? I have tried to recreate it with various effects and have not come close to that sound. Is it a synth pickup, or the amp he is using, or effects, or a combination of all three? Thanks in advance.

"What the fuck are you talking about? What band? He's in many you know. Did you mean in Children of Bodom? Well, if you knew anything you would know that they have a keyboardist who does all that.
"
i do know that, I didn't mean Children of Bodom, I meant his demonstration video with guitarist Roope Latvala from Sinergy (I believe). If you need to see the video to know what I mean, i can send it to you. Sorry for not being clear enough.

What do you mean? CoB has a keyborardist who does all the keyboard-ish shit. You have a link to see the demonstration? Cause otherwise, I have no idea what you mean.

Hey, try reposting it man, it doesnt work. Thanks though, im dying to hear this...

Yeah, someone asked this before on a diff. forum but I forgot the answer he got . If you had the Young Guitar issue that came w/ that video CD, I think they like showed Alexi and Roope's guitar that they used for that demonstration, sorry though, I can't rembember.

I'm uploading on some crappy free hosting for now:

http://jguitars.sky.prohosting.com/..._The_Reaper.WMV

That download link should work

Edit: None of these hosts are working, so until then I guess i wont get an answer until I get a host to work.

I've seen this video before


im really not sure how he does it


maybe a guitar synth?

do guitar synths actually exsist?, or did i just make them up in my head?

Thought it was winter....and you can get a good enuf tab of it on G-pro. I wanna learn the fucking 2nd demonstration on that vid.

OK I just watched the video, and I think the synth stuff you are talking about is just the backing music...

__________________

nope

pwnd....

well whatever, thats what it sounds like to me... that the backing music is just a bit louder than the guitar

__________________

watch roope latvalas hands. now watch alexis hands. alexi is playing the lead guitar. roope is playing the guitar synth, its not hard to work out. fuck, even my POD has a guitar synth sound. nowhere near as nice as that though....i'd like to know what he was using myself.

Well, at least I figured out exactly what their playing. They are playing the intro to "Storm" by Mozart.

ive seen a vid of that alexio guy with another, playing some classical piece together, and the other guy had a violin effect/simulator sound.

i guess ifs just a effect, i knwo they exist in many different types like violin, and flute.
i know hate eternal used a flute effect on the solo of darkness by oath.

im not completely sure, but if the vid im talking bout is the same as ur talking bout its definatly a violin effect.

ill try makign some screens of the vid, maybe u can tell if its the same one

screenshiot from the vid im talking about.

yea, same video...i am learning a lot from that video.

oke sweet, i dont like bodom at al, but this was pretty cool stuff,


and its a violin effect for sure after watching this again

I think it's Vivaldi....

Acutally, thats not Bodom stuff, that video is stuff more like Sinergy I believe, definitely not Bodom-ish.

well i dont like sinergy aswel, i dont like a lot btw

Found this on another forum. Only covers the distortion part.


Marshall AMP- JCM 2000 gain:8, Master:2, Bass:10, Middle:8, Treble:10, Presence:2,

Rack: Lee Jackson GP-1000, Rocktron Intellifix, Engl 840/50 tube poweramp

pedal specs: BOSS ds-1 distortion, BOSS phaser, BOSS flanger, BOSS delay. sorry but the specs in the magazine only cover the distortion...

ds-1: distortion: 3 o'clock... level: 9 o'clock....Tone:1 o'clock...

Delay Pedal time:
445ms... he uses an equalizer pedal but i have to look up the specs again...

So that's what he used in the video? Cause I know there's a special Young Guitar Magazine issues with him in it and he explains what gear and settings he used on the Follow th Reaper. I also found the same info as you, but in this form:

GUITARS:
2 ESP RV-350 AL
1 ESP RV-398 AL
All 3 guitars have installed active circuitry EMG PA-2.

POWER AMPS:
ENGL 840/50
PEAVEY CLASSIC 50/50

EFFECTS:
ROCKTRON INTELLIFEX

PREAMP:
LEE JACKSON PERFECT CONNECTION GP-1000

CABINETS:
MARSHALL JCM-900 4 x 12"

That's all he's using now (that I know). In the past he used Peavey 5150, Rocktron Velocity power amp, I've seen him live using Marshall JCM 2000 head. Of course he had 3 custom Jackson RR guitars (for guitars look at scythes-of-bodom.com), he had RR1 (sold it), for Something Wild he used Ibanez RG-220B, and he's first guitar was white Tokai Stratocaster.
He uses DR strings (gauge 11), and picks by Jim Dunlop (thick Jazz 3 picks).
Concerning tone, he likes a lot of midrange, cuz it makes guitar stick out in the mix.


Well his settings are set at
Amp :
Master - 2
Bass - 10
Mid - 8
Trebble - 10
Presence - 2
Distortion:
Tone - 6
Gain - 8
level - 2
and the active equalizer set for a dip curve, setting the lows and higs at high levels, the mids at around mid-range frequency's and the presence set at 0 (equalizers run between -12 and 12 so zero is the middle setting)
got all that form the young guitar featured on alexi and the equpiment said he used an ENGL 840/40 power amp but he does switch them around alot. the second bodom U.S. tour they had Randall full stacks,

I thought these eq settings were for lee jackson GP1000.

Wtf ^^.... how could he have had an ESP back then?

I copied that out of www.sycthes-of-bodom.com forum. He really didnt have ESPs back then, I guess the guy that posted that just edited the guitars section.
