Welcome back to the channel!!
This week I thought I would try out a death metal guitar plugin I came across recently online. I first noticed the physical version of the Kohlekeller Studio “Grindstein” with its blend-able channels, but then I came across the plugin version with a few additional features allowing it to be the only thing you need to create an awesome tone in your DAW. The plugin version includes two gain channels that can be blended to taste via the Mix knob and further refined with respective EQs. The Grindstein plugin further includes a noise gate, additional 5 band EQ with boost and cut knobs, and a cab IR section.
I picked 4 of my favorite tones I was able to dial in for the song in this clip. To try and present a flavor of what the plugin can do on its own - none of the 8 guitar tracks or the master have post EQ or compression, only high and low pass filters. At the end of the video are screen shots of left and right pedal settings used for each tone as they appear in the track.
Signal Chain:
- Fender Telecaster
- American Ultra Noiseless Pickups (S1 not used in video)
- MXR Custom BA Overdrive (slight signal boost)
- Pre-Amplifier
- Logic Pro X
- Slight room reverb send for all guitar and drum tracks
- Additional delay and reverb pedal on lead tracks
Drums:
- Drum kit Toontrack EZDrummer Modern Metal EZX American kit.
- Drum midi Toontrack EZDrummer Death Metal EZX Euro 4/4
Have you tried this plugin yet? What style of music did you use it for? Which tone did you like best in the video?
