Fractal Fanatic
Hi everybody!
I've been a meshuggah fan for quite some time now and ever since I heard about them playing 8-string guitars I wanted to have one!
When Ibanez came out with their first ever production 8-string I got one right away.
I had fun with it for a while but I eventually sold it.
Since then I've owned some other 8-string guitars from LTD, Schecter and Agile.
None of those guitars really got me to where I wanted.
The sound from Meshuggah is dependent on a few specific things.
1. The way they dial and play their sounds.
2. The way their guitars are built + string gauges.
When Ibanez released the new M80M (more affordable signature model) in 2013 I knew that I had to get one!
Soooooo, yesterday my guitar arrived!
It's such a beast!
It sounds so damn good, gnarly, rich and full.
This guitar surpasses all my other 8-string by far.
All this because of a few specific things like the 29.4 scale, the string gauges, the body wood and the Lundgren pick-up.
I thought this was a good time to make some meshuggah tonematches.
I did quite a few rhythm sounds actually.
You can download them here:

Listen to a few riffs I recorded with these patches here:
I also own Cubase 7.5 wich features some signature presets for the guitar plugin called 'Amp Rack'.
They used those sounds for the recording of their latest record, Koloss.
I also made matches of those settings.
There is also a basic 'general' patch in there that uses a user cab called 4x12 Metal.
This IR was made by Clawfinger and you will also find this in the RAR.
This sound was tweaked by me to get a good general Meshuggah type 8-string sound.
These sounds will probably not sound the same if you use another guitar but they will get you really close!
The RAR features sounds from Destroy Erase Improve, Chaosphere, Nothing (re-release), I, Catch 33, Obzen, Koloss, Cubase presets and Alive.
Enjoy!
