Awesome sound. Not enough people chasing the Alexi tone which is honestly one of the greatest guitar sounds out there. I’ve never cared for screaming vocals but he was a hell of a player and one of my favorites. Such a melodic player with amazing phrasing and tone.

Yeah, was just revisiting Are you dead yet and was thinking how good his ryrhm playing sat in the mix, can hear everything. So started researching what he used for amp and cab. Marshall all the way aparently.

Thanks for capturing Alexi Laiho’s tone, he was my favourite guitarist

Can not express my love and adoration for Alexi R.I.P.

Excellent video, Alexi was such a unique melodic player, he used all of the fretboard and tremolo bar to create a style of his own that separated him from other boring shredders.🤘🏼🎸 RIP

Thank you for doing Alexi’s tone dude. Awesome tribute. RIP Wildchild 🤘🙏🤘

The Everytime I Die solo is my favorite out of all of the bodom solo’s, so hearing it played so closely to the original at the beginning was something special. 🤘🤘

Gone way too soon. I still remember hearing Follow the Reaper for the first time and being absolutely blown away. There's so much music I would have never been exposed to if not for Alexi. RIP

Man, thank you so much for posting this, I was just learning that Everytine I Die solo and looking at buying that amp, I can't wait to try out this sound! I was waiting for you to make this one!

I've rewatched this video many a times. Good stuff man. Appreciate the share!

That's amazing! Gotta say that I never realized how unique his tone was. Thank you so very much! Great job!

Really well done, watching your other tone chasing series and enjoying myself. Love your bird.

This was great - That guitar looks awesome and I love the paint job! You're really spot on about having to be articulate with Alexi's tone, its super unforgiving and you really have to attack the strings like him for it to work. Great job and god bless Alexi Laiho! 🤘

That was so bad to find out that he's gone... Still remember the moments of that live show back in 2016...

Thanks for such a great & informative channel ! I bought one of these Marshall's after watching you get several great sounds out of it & amongst my 18 amps this little guy is my favorite.

Would love to see you try and replicate EVH's brown sound from the first two albums.

@@Sigmachadofficial There are literally tens of thousands of videos, forums, presets, guides, etc… on the internet, at your fingertips, for the “EVH Brown Sound” tone. It’s been covered to DEATH lol.

@@Sigmachadofficial Everyone that plays guitar, has their “Everest Tone” I call it. The ultimate tone they dream of achieving. It’s usually what inspired you in your youth to play guitar in the first place. For me, it’s that late 80s Hetfield. It’s super difficult to nail, I have come very close using Fractal products. Before that I tried several real Mesa Boogie tube amps. You’re either a Boogie guy at heart, or a Marshall guy. Sounds like you are a Marshall guy. More specifically a PLEXI guy. My dad is too. That EVH brown sound is a dimed out plexi. Totally different beast than the DSL. If your journey is toward that tone, youd want to go for the plexi with an attenuator/variac just like Eddie used! What amp/gear do you own that you’ve been using on your journey for the tone? Are you a tube guy? Digital sims? Take care

i get very envious when i'm looking your gear. Greetings from Finland!

You did right boosting the mids that way, that Lee Jackson GP1000 preamp Alexi used to use had overwhelming midrange.

Holy shit man, you nailed it. Captured the tone very well. Good job.

I’ve had his EMG ALX set in a previous guitar and didn’t like it at all. The tone wasn’t natural sounding and really strange to what I was used to in a pickup. I remember seeing a rig rundown some time ago and they said he had chorus. I can’t hear it in any of the albums though. Maybe just a live thing or it was set fairly low. 🤘🏻

Thank you for making this! Alexi will always be my favourite guitarist who ever lived. I've been put off getting the DSL as apparently its scooped with the mids. I see with the right pedals you can create his tone

Alexi is still deeply missed! Awesome vid man🤘

Damn you nailed the tone and really played the parts well!

This is incredible to hear. I'm making my own video soon about how to get this tone using the dsl20 and I love how we went down very different routes to get to almost identical sounds. I mainly used the gain boost toggle on alexi's signature emg and dialed the gain down alot on the Amp,theres alot of info on his jvm settings out there. Cheers mate. Love the content.

absolutely killer, well done man

Excellent job once again bro! Your demo's really have shown me how much you can manipulate an amp to get so many different killer tones. I wish I had this knowledge back in the 90's when I was in bands! I've been trying to decide on my next amp and I'm leaning towards that Marshall. My only concern is if it would keep up with a band? Great playing too! Thank you.

Laiho said in a Rig Rundown he's got a Boss Chorus on pretty much all the time live and a delay for solo if he doesnt forget to turn it on.

Nice tone!

Cool male Eclectus parrot man! Killer too btw, you nailed it to the "T"!!!!

Grazie per insegnarci cose riguardo ad Alexi. Il tuo setup mi è stato molto di aiuto. Mi ricordo che un mio collega di lavoro, bravo chitarrista, mi parlava sempre dei COB. Quando davvero capii quanto erano bravi, è successa la disgrazia.

Great video! Can you do capturing the tone of Killing is my business and business is good. I would love that video

Early COB was the Lee JacksonPC preamp into a VHT Poweramp.

Because of the Chopper I bought a DSL 20 head and a EQ pedal!! Great videos! Can you maybe do a few Death metal tones for us on the DSL?

I LOVE THIS TONE U HAVE GOING! I like slightly more than A.Laiho’s actual tone. Dialing ur shit in on my Marshall right now!

You’re missing the EMG MM-04 preamp booster installed in the guitar. Alexi had his amp’s gain way down and used the booster in his guitar to get an aggressive sound.

I'd love hear you try and capture Michael Amotts tone of Arch Enemy, has you've nailed the bodom tone perfectly. Specifically his and Bill Steer in The Carcass Heartwork album.

Ok. Just got to hear that 600. lol. That is Beautiful.

You really nailed the tone. I would add a bit more bass like the one you can hear in the song Follow The Reaper.

Oh it's painted already.... Blood red would be an excellent choice I'd say., thinking of it.

Very nice!! Could you the TWOAF guitar tone next please?

Absolutely. The right pedals infront of this thing annihilate at any volume. My revv G3 sounds like god. But my point was it has KILLER unadulterated tone if you just crank it theough decent speakers (V30s in my case). Also a Tung Sol valve in V1 also gives it venom.

Hi mate thanks so much for this video, really helped me to craft a better sound for playing COB songs. But I’m still new to some of this tech…how do you hook the Captor X into your PC please to record please? I can’t crank my amp as much as I’d like because of the neighbours

what a speaker cabine from Marshall ? nice Video.

Awesome vid! As always. Can you dial in Lil Wayne's incredible tone next please?

It would be so cool if you did necrophagist - such a unique tone

Your ear and attention to detail are 2nd to none, no matter what tone im chasing or amps used my playing still sounds the same. The same shoddy thrash riffs dont help the matter 😂

Would you ever consider doing Amon Amarth’s tone? They’re my favorite band!

O heck!!!!! Yes!!!!!!

Amazing. It would be awesome to have an IR of this :D

Awesome! Can you do a HEATHEN tone?

On rig rundown Alexi said he had a Chorus pedal on all time.

A cracking video this one. I’m getting back into guitar playing, “real life” got in the way. Anyway back to practicing Bodom and this video is fantastic. You’ve nailed it and your presentation is excellent. Can you advise how the Alexi EMG signature pickup might affect this set up? For example i don’t have a 6/10 band EQ stomp box. Can the pickup replace that? I’m looking to upgrade my old (very old) ESP EX351 which has a EMG HZ H1 in both bridge and neck.

@@niallcampbell The thing with his pickup is not so much about the pickup itself, but the built-in preamp circuit in the guitar. It acts as an overdrive in front of the amp. What you want to do is focus on boosting your output and initial signal before it reaches the amp. For the amp, use the heaviest channel you have, with the least amount of gain from the amp as possible. You basically want to engage the power amp/tubes and clipping, and hit it with the boosted guitar signal, but keep the amp gain low to avoid fuzzy saturation. Of course, on this setup, you have to attack harder and snappier with your picking hand, and a bit closer to the bridge, to get every note to sing out nicely. That's how you get that ballzy, percussive but articulate/audible notes for your leads.

He used always bass almost on full. Lol. He used chorus effect to push midds out more. You can look it up now.

I have a question lamchopper, I have the dsl20hr and also a mxr analog chorus which is supposedly the same as the black label chorus. In my fx loop there is a horrible very noticeable tone suck. When i place in front of amp, it does not do this. Have you noticed this with your setup?

@LambChopper678

Chorus pedals are notorious tone suckers. I always place mine furthest from the guitar in the chain just before the noise gate. I prefer mine through the fx loop but I’m not really a big fan of them at all.

Would love to see you do Alice in Hell by Annihilator! I got the tone down pretty good but would love to hear it on a dsl. The original was just a boss sd-1 boosting a jcm800.

Hey Sir! Do you mind doing one on Dino Cazares guitar tone?

He had a boss chorus that he left on all the time
