I'm Daz and I play LOUD. Spent years on the road playing modern metal — drop tunings, seven and eight strings, the works — so high-gain tone is genuinely my whole life. Honestly, I came up worshipping tube heads and 4x12s, then digital modellers got good enough to change my mind completely, and now I run a profiler at every gig. I care about two things: does it djent, and does it hold together when you stack the gain? I'll measure the noise floor so you don't have to.
