Nous discutions sur le fil consacré au rock japonais féminin des groupes de fan de ce genre de groupe/musique
A titre d'exemple, voici un post sur le Reddit des fans de Band-Maid, juste pour situer le niveau:
"Lets talk Guitar tones...
...because I love their setups and I'm a guitar nerd.
BAND-MAID seems to do well at something most bands fail at, which is finding soundscapes for each instrument that allow separation. Usually the only time the concept get's messed up is due to questionable mixing decisions either on record or live. The instruments themselves seem well placed.
Miku's base sound is a super fat dark crunch. She's not hugely over saturated, it's a more natural cranked power tube type of crunch tone that isn't too compressed and congested. Outside of the unexplainable Roland Jazz Chorus's that showed up in very early gigs (rented amps provided by the venue I'd guess... thank god for distortion pedals), her sound comes from Marshall style amplifiers, whether they were actual Marshalls, the /13's I heard she used for a bit, Blackstar early on ( when they couldn't afford better), or the EVH she's using now.
I love love love Miku's tone when it's present. For god's sake BM Mixers, turn her up! Most of the time it sounds like she's using the neck pup of the Zemaitis to get that dark sound. At those times when MISA decides to parallel the rhythm parts with an overdriven Bass Sound, it's like a visceral gut punch.
Mikus pedal board is pretty simple.. she seems to basically use an overdrive and a delay.
This vid from Amsterdam is actually pretty decent sound and really highlights Miku's tone. Plus I love how confident she is showing in these clips which were a few years ago.... from nothing to very good guitar player today, it's fun to see.
Kanami of course is playing the PRS and Mesa Engineering Triple Rectifier combination, which basically defined the modern metal sound from the 90's forward. The Mesa Rectifier literally is responsible for the wall of saturation that defines most modern metal. Kanami dials it back a bit but it still has the characteristic saturated, bright, scooped sound that rectifiers are known for. The Rectifiers were introduced in the 90's and literally every other amp manufacturer had to introduce their own super saturated variations to compete.
My personal favorite Mesa amp is the Mark series (I personally play Mesa Mark/PRS when I play electric guitar, which is kinda rare these days). The Mark was also the main amplifier for Minchos guitar hero Carlos Santana for most of his career before he went to some more boutique stuff. The Mark series is more midrange forward than the Rectos, and I like it's lead tone better. I think it would be very cool if Kanami would pull a John Petrucci ( dream theatre) and use a dual amp setup with a Recto and a Mark. The Marks cut like a knife through band mixes.. in fact many people don't like the way they sound on their own but they are magic in a band mix.
This is a nice demo showing the tonal differences between Rectifier and Mark.
that said Kanami gets a good tone from the Rectos for leads, which is because she actually dials back the saturation a bit and allows the sound of the guitar to come through a bit more.
Also the interview Kanami did with Eventide a while back about her pedalboard was cool.

Kanami's board is way more complex than Miku, with multiple delay units and overdrives setup for different tones. To avoid a massive amount of tap dancing she controls the whole thing with the FreeTheTone ARC-3 control unit. That unit allows her to program patches for each song and program multiple effect and amp channel switches to happen on one button press. I wasn't familiar with FreeTheTone before getting into Band-Maid, the ARC-3 ( Arc-4 latest version) looks like a very slick piece of gear, and more compact than other similar units. You can see her using her pedalboard on some of the head shot BM prime videos.
Anyway, I just think their guitar tones are in general pretty great. It's weird, you'd think that professional bands would figure this stuff out, but BM literally has the best balanced and present live sound of almost any band I've heard. Even one of my favorites like Dream Theatre can't get it right most of the time. Almost every band could stand to learn from what BM is doing sound wise."
