Wes Hauch - Mesa Boogie Triple Crown 100 High Gain Playthrough

This song is called “As The Crow Flies” from Alluvial - The Deep Longing for Annihilation.

Follow me here for more content:

I completely re-tracked the guitars for this song using the Mesa Boogie Triple Crown 100 Head and an Ibanez Ibanez FRIX7FEAH.

The wet effects on the Clean section and the Reverb on the Lead Guitar section were provided by the Seymour Duncan Vice Grip Compressor and the new Silverlake Reverb.

For Bass Guitar I used a Squier Jazz 5 and the trial version of the new Neural DSP Darkglass B7K Plugin.

All instruments strung with Ernie Ball Cobalt and Paradigm strings.

I re-programmed a good portion of the drums using Toontrack Superior 2.0.

Additional synth sounds used in the intro of the video were done with Logic Alchemy.

When I first started was pentatonic and it didn't really make sense to me...Then Malmsteen and all the shredders came along in the 80's and that was more "linear" in the approach that I could understand....Then along comes Wes Hauch and blows everything out of the water....It sounds so abstract but so beautiful....It's a whole 'nother level of

[tromboneman]

There’s more riffs in this song than most bands come up with in their whole careers.

[guitargogden]

Incredible tone and playing as always! Thumbs up if you wanna see Wes rip through Gabrielle!

[Taylorlit]

I aspire to achieve that level of action economy in my playing .

[kmhMESA]

One of the cleanest players alive.. or ever.

[v.triol]

Seeing the Gojira shirt. Imagine Joe Duplatier singing on this.... Amazing playing Wes. Love that album so much.

[jaylistudios]

Came here to check out the triple crown, stayed for the effortless playing, music and tone of Wes Hauch.

[andounis]

This is probably the best solo I have heard in modern-era metal...

[mrhamburgler]

Wes has the best picking technique period. No wasted energy, no unnecessary movements. I aspire to achieve this level of technique every day, I've been re-learning guitar with proper technique (especially my picking chops) applied as much as possible and the changes after 15+ years of playing have been all positive. Have this dude to thank for the motivation to put a mountain on that plateau.

Wow. Putting 7-strings to good use. I *LOVE* the songwriting. Awesome.

[chrispeterson]

One of the sickest metal tones I’ve ever heard. I can’t even get my JP2C to sound quite this good.

[ESPSJ]

That solo has got to be one of my absolute favorites all time and I genuinely mean it. The album version sounds really great as does this.

[tylerwells]

I’m so glad you keep putting shit out! You’re seriously one of the best musicians we have in metal/guitar today. IMO

[skylinestring]

Top-tier. One of the essential guitarists of our time.

[Deamonition]

Wes is simply the best metal guitarist on the scene right now.

[NorthwestGuitarworks]

The world needs more Wes Haunchs to assult our ears with these heavy riffs. Phrasing on the solo is ridiculous

[Allyinchains]

No one person on this planet writes music like Wes!

[victorgracia]

Man, i love you fkn tone, high gain yet smoothie, with no scooped mids. Damn!

[CygnusVoyager]

The girth on that tone... an absolute unit.

[progpogs]

I rewatch this video all the time. The tones you get with your triple crown are inspiring.
