The first 3 songs on Forced to Bleed were done with the rp21 (floorboard version of the 2112, basically the same as a 2120 also). The last 5 songs were done with a 2101.

Awesome thread idea mike!
Alright down to business. Right now i have a Marshall AVT50 combo for my head and a Peavey valveking 412 slant for my cab. I'm looking into buying a head head but don't want to spend more than a grand on it. I want to be able to get death metal tones to jazz fusion tones and everything in between. Any suggestions? |

Matt, if your feeding back at high volumes; reduce your treble.
Thats what I find to be a major cause in whistling amp syndrome |

I use an ENGL Savage 120; it´s a bit more expensive than the powerball but it has a better clean chan and way enough gain. It has an overall better sound anyway imho. If I would live in the USA, I would go for a rectifier I think...ENGL amps are too expensive in the USA... :X @Archaeon: do you want a tube amp? channels? effects? watt? :o |

Tube amp is preferred, 3 channels (clean/rhythm/lead), watts I'm not really sure, and I'm gonna buy a rack latter so effects aren't very important right now

errr...so, you are just going to buy an effects processor?
I´m a little bit confused...do you want a head or play over a rack and buy all the different components you need? |

yeah used amps would be your best bet for getting something really decent for a good price.
i don't know much about tubes but i have the line-6 HD147, that things pretty mint for a solid state. not bad effects either, several clean channels to play with, models some pretty cool amps like 5150, triple and duel rectos(messa) Diesel and several Marshall amp simulations, 4 programable channels so you can set up with like a clean/crunch/lead1/lead2(solo channel).. plus i think with a special pedal board you can have more channels i think.. it's pretty versatile for it;s price.. but it is solid state so if you're really game for a tube amp then no use in checking them out.

Man, I was thinking about getting a 5150 again.....I was going to get the Voodoo mod done but ended up selling the head. Are the block letter versions of the head better? I have seen alot of people saying the older ones were better, but my brother had a 5150II and it killed!

I got a question as well...it´s not really about gear stuff, it´s about guitar-recording and maybe someone can answer my question. :) Sine we are going to record our CD (homerecording) I would like to know, if it´s really needed to double the guitars. Or can you get a full, "fat" guitar sound with a good mix only anyway? |

And to agree with MAtt and others who have replied, for under a grand you don't have many good options besides a 5150 or 6505. Great amps, well worth the money.

It CAN sound good but it's not going to sound as full or as heavy as 2 guitars for rhythm. |

And yeah, Engl's are quite expensive here. But still well worth the money. Mesa's are more affordable, but they just don't compare. |

So, you would say that MESA´s "suck" compared to ENGL´s?

i had a 5150 for a long while and loved it. I like a lot of mids, so with my settings it sounded a little weak on the distortion side. So I ran the signal through a BBE 481i sonic maximizer and it clarified the sound considerably more as well as beefing up the sound.

However, I dont find a need for more distortion with my 5150, shit... I have my gain on like 6 1/2. It seems fine, tons of note definition, and still punches and crunches very hard... especially running with 2 cabs. |

ok :/ ...but in case, that a band isn´t "doubling" the guitars. should they use just as much gain as they use normally? I mean, if you are doubling your guitars, then you won´t use as much gain as usually...but what if you don´t? I mean, should there be as less gain as possible on a recording? I heard that too much gain will cause the record to be sounding flat etc. |
