Great song and great player, but I didn't hear any Djenting in it. Correct me if I'm wrong but Djent is a technique not a style. Like this...

>Mmmmm duel recto. That video proves I don't need a real recto, but one day when I can hold off the Line 6 GAS I usually get long enough to save £3K..... Then a filthy djenty recto will be mine.

I'm not a Djent guy but my understanding from hanging out with lots of Djent players is that most Djent aficiandos do not like the Dual Rect for that style as the amps is "too loose" in the bottom end. Engl for example, is a more preferred brand of amp (example: Invader), alot of folks are hip on those new "Dar" amps as well (I think those sound terrible in the clips, I've heard, though). The DRs can certainly be setup and used for it, but they're not considered ideal is the vibe I get.

Ironically, a lot of the Djent guys use modelers, also. The Periphery guys used L6 gear before they went AxeFx as did Meshuggah.

It needs power. You can use it with a guitar amp head or go direct to a PA or some other full range flat response amp like a keyboard amp.

That POD HD300 might be what I am looking for.. But can I just plug it to a regular cab and use it as "head" Or does it need a power amp?

I think he's using external IR's. Also if you look at FearedSE's youtube channel, his recodring methodology shows him double-tracking, plus using compression to thicken up the palm mutes. plus he's got a full mix going, so it's harder to hear just the guitar sound.

i think if you heard just the guitar tone, single-tracked outside a mix, with no post-processing, using one of the onboard IR's, you'd be much less impressed.

+1 on the slightly slack strings! Thick, tight strings just don't cut it for me. You lose all that cool attack

If you really wanna Djent you have to make sure your strings are a little slack so you get that slightly sharp sound on aggressive pick attacks. A lot of people like to rip on "Djent" bands, but most of them are way more talented and intelligent song writers than most tradition metal bands. ie Periphery, Animals As Leaders, Meshuggah (inventors of Djent?), The Contortionist, Cloudkicker, dot Three, Encircle, Nociceptor, Uneven Structure, etc, etc...
