Grabbed my copy of the new Queens of the Stone Age album this evening. Loving the stripped down production on this one.
About 12 different flavors of cocked wah/harmonic energizer/frequency boost in that tone.
thanks for bringing this to my attention. Purchased it last week and been listening to it quite a bit
I'm going to also mention I've been listening to this entire album on heavy rotation. Mark Ronson of all people produced it, which speaks to it's stripped down funky sounds. But it's still QotSA, so there's a good deal of No F's Given too.
Appearently Josh is BFFs with the Stone Deaf PDF-2, which is a modern interpretation of the Maestro MPF-1. Chances I'm going to tackle a build of that this winter? 100%. I really have a thing for the Queens sound. I often use my Dual Voice Filter with some cocked wah sounds combined with channel 2 of the Aion Lab Series preamp (mids almost dimed with the fun filter stuff set for the midrange frequency) into a hint of dirt amp. Then bludgeon it with a Giant Hogweed when you need that stoner sludge.
Check out the behind the scene video for this video, set to the studio recording. The whole album is a groover.
