What sort of string noise you getting? Fret noise, or string buzz? If the latter, nothing other than setting your guitar up properly will get shut. And fret noise is most definitely goooood.

Yes that's fret noise, it's sexy and cool and great and should be embraced. I haven't listened to Veruca Salt for a long time....

it's sexy and cool in that riff, it's not sexy and cool in my dirty grunge song about my grandmother being a whore.

i don't have a choice, it's 16th notes at 154bpm, if i don't rub along the strings to get to the next fret i won't make it in time. i already tried not doing that. i tried it for about 2 weeks but i could never get it in time, except at 133 bpm tops which isn't fast enough.

The smooth flat wrap is easy on the fingers and eliminates string squeak,

Yeah, flatwounds are the only alternative. They sound wank though. Mind you, you're putting it through that manky metal amp anyway....
Fancy buying an Analogman King of Tone? Yours for £450... without the waiting list...

lol! no. i have good toanz. i don't use them lololol. i tweaked the amp to a dirty st. anger type sound for that song i uploaded. my amp being the one used to record james' rhythm parts for both st. anger and death magnetic (for which the amp is better suited tonally but i always set it to sick nu metal toanz for demos to make sure the song in itself is good enough)

Your tone sucks. In my opinion of course. But it really does suck.

Many tones usually equal many bad tones. You vid example proves this. That's a fucking awful awful awful guitar sound.

I think you'll find the nomenclature is "BREEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWTAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN".
And no I don't have "different" taste in tone, I have SOME taste.
