The tone, the drums, the riffs,the blues, the everything. Rob’s always created incredible guitar sounds, but I’ll never forget being 17 years old leaving circuit city with IOR and jamming it at full volume in the car in the parking lot from front to back. Implements of Destruction is STILL my go-to when I’m around non-metal heads that give me music privileges for a song. It’s also really good money spent at a jukebox. 13 minutes for .50 cents? Take my goddamn money.

Rob Arnold 2020: "Anyways, when you turn it up, it sounds better" true words. nice vid!

I've been playing guitar for 15 years. Rob, I gotta say that your sound and chimaira helped shaped my sound and how I play. Sad as fuck to not hear new music but grateful you have a KZread channel. So, basically I just wanted to say thank you for being a huge influence on me. But most importantly, being a sick ass guitar player.

Hey cheers Daniel👊 Glad to hear it bro!

Those riffs from impossibility of reason got me to stop playing around with my guitar and got me serious about it when i was a teen. For me chimaira and Rob's playing was the most inspiring thing ever. I remember jamming the album on repeat always trying to nail all my favorite songs shit was my after school ritual. Thanks for the great music im not the best at guitar but i learned a lot of cool shit from you. 🤘🤘

Yep, me too. From that point and listening to Machine Head's Burn My Eyes, I started taking riffing seriously. Rob Arnold is just a monster when it comes to riffing.

Man those riffs just take me back to every Chimaira show I went to over the years. We would stand gripping the guard rail on the front row waiting for Chimaira to play. It was like being on another planet as you guys ripped through song after song. I truly lost my mind every single time and when it was over, just sat in a state of disbelief of what I had just witnessed. Best times ever.

The resonance helps to tighten the low end up a little and enhance it somewhat too. Not as much as an OD pedal up front, but it does help for sure. At least, it helped mine out that way with my past 2 6505’s. Great vid Rob. You’re an inspiration, keep them coming good Sir.x

I had the same set up over here in Oz for a while and I just felt it was missing ‘something’. I saw that a few bands with 6505’s were using Maxon 808 OD pedals in the chain so I went out and bought one and never looked back. The subtle increase in the sounds of attack on palm muted strings was simply superb. Love the content mate, been into you guys for 16yrs, hoping Chimaira makes a comeback sometime soon 🤘🤘

6505 or 6505+? 6505's need a boost sometimes due to their much flubbier low end. The + version is much tighter.

This is very cool to me dude. I learned all the songs of Impossible, a few off Resurrection and a bunch of infection. I tried for quite a long time to mimic your sound. After years I finally got it using a Line 6 Crunchtone with a Peavy Bandit 112 and EMG pickups. You were always a big inspiration and always wrote killer riffs that were challenging and fun to play. Now I'm old.

Back in the day (2002 or 2003) I only saw Chimaira once @ the Huntridge in Las Vegas. Me and the other guitarist in my band at the time were both in agreement. You guys were the heaviest band we had ever heard live. We toured in a death metal band for years in the mid 90's. We had either seen or opened for every heavy band you can think of. Your guys live tone was terrifying! No bull shit! 🤘😤🍺

Classic set up with the 6505 and Mesa! That ISP decimator is an absolutely great noise gate, as well!

I like the approach you and Matt have with one of you covering the mid range and the other making the scooped mids. I've always liked the approach of having complimentary guitar tones, not identical ones for 2-guitarist bands. Such as simple way to differentiate yourselves despite running nearly identical rigs.

I've been banging on for years how the impossibility of reason has my absolute favorite guitar tone (also why I fell in love with drop C) and now I've found a video showing me exactly how to get it with the equipment I actually own!
