Would Metalcore SUCK if It Had No Guitars? (Metal Synths Only Challenge w. Presets!)

Posted on by admin


In this video, Dr. Mike Trubetskov challenges himself to create a modern metal sound using only metal synths, completely avoiding guitars, amp sims, and guitar amp distortions. The goal is to replicate the feeling that guitars give to heavy music listeners and explore the broader role of synths in metal. Mike shares his findings, conclusions, and the presets he created during the experiment. He demonstrates how synths can enhance or even replace guitars, discusses the limitations, and shows examples of synth patches and techniques used to mimic guitar tones. Ultimately, Mike concludes that while synths offer exciting possibilities, they cannot fully replace the unique feel of guitars in metal music. Instead, blending guitars and synths can create a powerful and modern sound.
