  • Apparently I'm having my mid-life crisis at (nearly) 30 cos I've just bought a guitar. Basically I've been listening to too much doom metal and want in. Does anyone know a good forum for getting info from about all the beginner shit? I last touched a guitar in 2005.

  • Weirdly all my doom pals are moving to old Laneys or solid state type amps after many years of playing 70s Oranges and JCM800s and the like. The 'classic' fuzz for the sludgier end of doom seems to be the Boss FZ2 but Behringer do a surprisingly accurate clone for about twenty quid. I don't really know of any actual forums for doom but I do know some of the guys from the London scene so I could ask what they're using if it'd help.

    Btw I'd never been a huge doom fan but then I heard Serpent Venom and I've never looked back. Are they on your radar? Great band.

  • Moose Electronics

    I know I always recommend this pedal company but if doom/ sludge/ stoner vibes are your jam then these are the best!

    Dylan Carlson uses them along with some other mega doomy boiiis.

    What guitar did you buy anyway?

  • Jason from Fuzzlord Effects does lots of practical doom beginner stuff on youtube and on his Fuzz Life podcast - setting up a downtuned guitar, fuzz pedals with buffers etc.
