Kid_a2 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 When they perform Unsustainable live do you think it is mimed? After watching the making of videos it looks like Matt uses quite a bit of pedals for making the dubstep sounds but live he is no where near any pedals and just rocks back and forth. Sometimes live it also makes the higher pitched sound that he gets from hitting the strings above the nut in the making of video but he doesn't do it during the performance. Any thoughts?

kueller Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 He has the pedals midi controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I also really don't see the point for having the whammy automated. Is it that hard to just do it himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparker Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Didn't his guitar tech control the whammy for that song? They play it live, but I'm sure the tech controls the whammy pedal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 No the whammy is MIDI controlled. Still not miming, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillyracer Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 He whammys his nuts while miming his strings. Bells does it all the time these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars_515 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I gave the Ziggo Dome boot a good listen and compared with the hamburg recording, cause i wondered the same. They are quite different so it looks like his guitar tech controls the whammy. Or Matt has installed something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Can we have this in a bloody sticky thread or something that when they play Unsustainable live they control the Whammy by MIDI? If anyone's miming it's Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I also really don't see the point for having the whammy automated. Is it that hard to just do it himself? Well he'd still need it automated in some way to switch between the modes that quickly no? Although yeah, I personally think it would be a lot cooler if he did the treadle action by himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although yeah, I personally think it would be a lot cooler if he did the treadle action by himself Well yeah you could have the automation to change modes (although I think you can pull it off with -1oct) but controlling the treadle himself would be a lot cooler since it would mean variations each show. The main argument for using automations is to move around and shit, but all Matt really does is stand over by the drumkit instead of standing over by his pedal board.

Yeah, and everyone loves a bit of treadle action. Just lube that Whammy up and rock that motherfucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'd be totally ok with him not using the pedal if he sang the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'd be totally ok with him not using the pedal if he sang the song. There is no pedal part during the singing. My guess is just that he doesn't want the first thing they hear to be OHHHHHHHHHH instead of those first lyrics of Supremacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would be happier to hear his voice in that part rather than him controlling the whammy by himself. I think it's mainly that fact that it's a hard part to sing. And yes, this is true too.
