So, I thought I could just try to create my own sound, which I heard is not really common and actually not possible with a Kemper and rather an AxeFx kind of thing (that's at least what I read several times). They just don't sound as huge as they should (nor do they in the mix, when recorded. Most of the time, the problem for me was that they do have the metallic/lots of treble sound, but they all just sound like they come right out of a tin of tomato soup. I tried many many profiles, but so far, none of them could really please me. When I talk about Djent (I actually don't like that word, but everybody involved in that kind of music just knows what sound it is), I'm talking about tone in the likes of Periphery/Meshuggah/Monuments and so on.

Djent's typical uses give rise to a 'genre' of djent that is characterized by hi-fi compressed production, polyrhythmic/staccato distorted riffs and ambient clean passages which make liberal use of 9 and other 'jazzy' chords. Engl and Mesa amplifiers are typically used when tube amplification is preferred.ĭjent is widely acknowledged to have come first from Meshuggah, but Misha 'Bulb' Mansoor has arguably popularized the sound. When possible, an amp model such as the Big Bottom or Modern High Gain on these devices is used in conjunction with a modeled Tube Screamer in front. Lower-gauge strings are used to facilitate this.ĭjent tone is many times created using a Line 6 amp modeling product such as the Pod series or the Axe-Fx.
