    You have such a unique technique that even though you changed the tone it still sounds like sylosis playing chimera esp on the palm mute

    Interesting to see you using varied Peavey's from STL, I've done the same before. A few months back I requested Fede to add a post EQ for each mic and to allow cab-sharing between Amphub/Tonality. He developed and released the EQ for Amphub, I'm hoping he does the same for Tonality and makes all the cabs common

    Another great video! Lately I've been trying to up my rhythm guitar game regarding stamina, consistency and overal cleanliness when recording. I have one question about your playing: I know you are a real heavy hitter and your right hand/arm make some pretty big movements when picking outside of palm muting. Are you usually hitting extra muted strings when you do it? For example, if playing a power chord on the fifth string, do you hit the muted sixth string and let the pick glide through strings 3-1 (wich are also muted by your left hand)? Or do you just aim for the two strings of the power chord? Thanks a bunch for the attention! Hope to see more vids soon! Looking forward to your new drums too!
