    His last name is pronounced: "SHUL-DEE-NER". Found out by asking the man himself. Got to hang out with him at the hotel we were staying at during the Symbolic tour in '95. Great person, he seemed like a old friend I've known forever, but just met. We chatted for while about metal music. They put on a great show that evening. RIP Chuck...

      Sweet! My bandmates and I met him and he was so down to earth. We opened for them in San Diego in the 90's (I don't even remember when exactly haha, lots of dates back then). We were backstage tuning the drums and trying to get our tone right through the PA. Chuck came back and was like "Oh hey guys how's it going" It was like he knew us prior and was looking for us haha. I was always approachable, but after meeting him I always kept that in mind to make time for people who want to meet you. Be a good person. RIP.

      Apparently he was well off. His manager Eric Greif said he had a bunch of nice cars and I think he had several houses. Not rich, but well off. Sadly with no health insurance the treatment and surgery he would need would be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our health care system is fucked.

      Yeah I didn't say it's the government's fault that Chuck didn't have health insurance. It's their fault that it won't cover pre existing conditions and charges 5 times the amount compared to other countries for some medicine or surgery. You can go to Canada and get the same exact medicine for MUCH less than you can in the USA. They care much more about dollar bills than a human life.

    Honestly the fact that the amp he used WAS shitty and the fact that he barely used any effects (Wikipedia says he only used a chorus effect for solos) is kinda part of the magic. He had nothing, no fancy equipment, not a lot of money, not much popularity...He was just a visionary who made fuckin amazing music and was totally underground on a quest for himself as an artist, not for anybody else.

    I saw Death live at Peabody's Downunder in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1995 for the Symbolic tour. I met Chuck Schuldiner, who was standing by the soundboard before the show, and talked to him for a few minutes. He was super nice, but said he was a little disappointed by the turnout, but thankfully, the show ended up being sold out by the time Death went on. He autographed my 'Human' CD. I still have it. My hero.

      The V30's are in fact more efficient than the T75's with 100 db/w/m vs 97. I doubt they are louder though, since the 75 in G12-T75 stands for 75 watts of power handling vs the 60 Watts of the Vintage 30.

I personally prefer the v30s, or both types combined, but after years of using it i realized g12 is more dark and muddy than many other speakers, and v30 has more bite.

    I was living in Florida at the time this music took off. A lot of guitarist were using 3 distortion pedals with the gain all the way up. Man, that was such a good tone, every note sounded perfect and the fundamental pitch of each note was indistinguishable. This made it unnecessary to learn anything on the guitar because the tone was soooo GOOD that it did not matter what notes were played. Remixing those records is useless because the sounds was perfect.

    There is a picture from an old Metal Maniacs magazine from the recording sessions from The Sound of Perseverance in which you can see a Boss Super Overdrive. I assume Chuck used that in the studio and live. I also owned this very amp in 2000, and with an overdrive in front, the thing sounded amazing, but it broke down and was never permanently fixed. Dialed in right, it sounds wicked.
    Although the tone Ola achieved was, in my opinion, not very indicative of the Symbolic album, or Death in general, the fact that he did a video about the great Chuck and Death really means a lot to Death fans out there. Chuck was a true original, he hated trends and fashion, and is my guitar hero. If he were alive today and saw this video, I'm sure he would be smiling and very pleased with it. Thank you, Ola, that was very cool.

    A friend of mine had a Valvestate in those days, and he was constantly hunting for a better rhythm sound. What he ended up with was an overdrive pedal, used as a clean boost, into a distortion pedal, going into the front of the amp. He would take that clean boosted signal out of the overdrive pedal, the distortion pedal would provide about half of the distortion on his signal, and the valve state would provide the other half of the distortion on his signal. It ended up sounding pretty damn nice for back in those days.

    get ZZ Top kinda sounds from it on clean channel with just a bit of crunch. I loved it however it was just to powerful, if you have a guitar just for metal but you don't like active pickups X2N is the best choice, otherwise i didn't find it as versatile as other Dimarzio pickups.

    Oh... I forgot.. A locking nut is pretty much mandatory on the Stealth as you found out with the tuning issues. In lieu of this the little string 'trees' or a tension bar behind the nut, which will increase the angle the string path follows does wonders in the tuning stability dept. Not sure the reason Chuck designed his signature axe with so minimal an angle to the head stock, oddly enough, the Satriani signature Ibanez headstock is almost flatly, exactly the same. Maybe it makes string bends easier or something ?

  • @LoreAccurateHusky
    @LoreAccurateHusky 4 роки тому +4

    I've owned that amp for a while and learned that if you want it to sound like a real Marshall you need to have a OD boost in the front end and set the gain and level to about half way.
    I use a TC Electronics Dark Matter with the gain no more than half way and the level no less than halfway and it really improves the sound of the amp dramatically.

    I played thru a very similar setup in the '90's. My setup was simple. Original Valvestate 8100 with a quality replacement tube, BBE Sonic Maximizer in the effects loop, original Tube Screamer. I pushed it at 100% into a full stack. Slant stack was fairly standard but the bottom cab was 4x12 200 watt Carvin bass speakers. I tuned down to drop D and I had the most crushing tone you could ever imagine. No one ever knew what hit them and I'd always catch the guitarists from other bands looking at my setup as they could not figure out how a shitty solid state amp was crushing their tone and making them look like little gurls. :) Excellent show btw.

  • @raytsh
    @raytsh 6 років тому +9

    Yes! Symbolic is my favourite Death album! Sold my Stealth a few months ago since it was way to neck heavy, the action was high despite the bridge being as low as possible, it would not stay in tune and the scale was too short for proper string tension, even with 10-52. :/

      Yeah, that would have been an option, but I don't like how such thick strings play and feel. 52 is the largest gauge that I like and it works well on 25.5'' in D. I've put 10-52 on my Stealth, tuned to D. This is also the gauge Chuck used, from what I read.
