Here's more info about this amp and my other 800s if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/5I6nTYCEpVs/v-deo.html
Marshall should have you on their video promoting JCM800,ways tooo great That TONE!!!!!!
While I’ve got your attention, Bro, you really got to check out LPD Pedal’s Eighty7 JCM800/ Hot Rod Plexi stomp box; it ‘bubbles’ like a real JCM800, has that ‘phantom bass response’ & is so very close to the real thing, it even reminds me of the things I’ve always hated about JCM800 100w Back-Breaker Boxes! 😆👍
Thanks for the inspiration! Just ordered a JCM 800 2203X, 1960a cab and Two Notes Captor X (flexibility to run direct and attenuate) to pair with my Gibson Les Paul Standard.
Cool!
I’m not a big fan of the 1960 cabs T-75 speakers but more of a V30 guy but that’s just my opinion 😊.
You just spent more than I make in two months
Ordered the same thing yesterday minus the Two Notes - went with the Rivera RockCrusher instead.
Euge never disappoints in producing killer tone with his Monster JCM800 and the SD1 boost... killer player as well.. Nicely done sir. I salute my hat to you.
Thanks man!
I just found out this channel and the desire for a JCM800 is growing in me incredibly fast. Not healthy for my wallet AT ALL!
😁👍. Glad to hear that you found! 🙏
Lol same! Subscribed today and have already been researching the JCM800.
I just got a mini because of this channel
Same 🙌
Then get yourself a “Joyo Jackman XL” and save your wallet of something else.
That's what is all about. EMGs with Marshall. Zakk Wylde heaven!
Yeah! 🤘👌
Or Slayer. LoL
@@herrcobra4144 Indeed :-)
I was about to say the same. I am thinking if i buy the JCM800 (to boost it with the SD1, of course) or the Mesa Dual Recto (to boost witht the TS9), but i am tending to get the JCM, cause the purpose is to use on my DIO tribute bands.
I like 800 a lot more. Mesa to my ears are kinda dull whereas Marshall, and especially 800 2203s are the total opposite 👍😎.
Euge.....man your time giving us an insight into your rig etc is way MORE than we deserve..... sales of 2203's new or used can only help the wellbeing of many METALHEADS around the world.
The 2203 fan club is growing thanks to your vids....😺👍👍👍👍💪
Thanks Paul! 😎💪🤘
"Isn't that how amps are supposed to sound?" The best
😎🤟
This is THE BEST metal guitar tone I've ever heard. Thanks Euge! 10/10
Thanks! 😎💪
Such a great vid...thank you for taking the time to do this.
Thanks!
Killer Tone..and some bad azz playin'..love it man...thanks..🤘
Thanks man! 🤘🙏
Love your tone, and that song is a banger😎
Thanks!
Great Tone, Great Playing and excellent video.. keep em up love your Channel ..
Thanks! 🙏🤘
It speaks for it self brother, awesome!
Yeah! Thanks!
Thank you Sir, for post this setting. Luigi from italy.
🙏😎🤟
Sounds great my friend!!!!
Thanks!
Great tone and playing
Thanks!
I still maintain that the Marshall JCM 800 (with the right distortion pedal) is the undisputed King metal amp...and I've had 'em all. Bogner, Super Kraken, Boogies, modeling amps, rack stuff etc. Don't get me wrong. Many of the aforementioned amps are great, however If you're searching for a straight-forward METAL sound at a NON-boutique price, you cannot go wrong with the JCM 800 100 watt boosted with the right pedal. The rest is up to you.
Indeed 🤘😎.
A boss overdrive pedal is all you'll need
@@mrg1247 I qualified my statement by saying [IF] you're searching for a straight-forward [METAL] sound you will be better off with some sort of pedal/overdrive to get a classic metal tone. But to each his own.
You're for sure right, but a reissue costs 3500 in the states.
The ZAKK is strong with this one.
Yeah :-)
Boosted 800' has set the benchmark for metal amps for decades. They have that unique midrange bark and clarity that makes guitars sound so full and aggressive.
By the way, you're a kick ass guitar player! 🤘
Indeed 💪👌.
Thanks!
Moi Euge!
As of today I'm an owner of a JCM 800 KK. The amp is a total beast and I would have probably missed out on it if it wasn't for your videos. Thanks for everything and all hail the mighty Marshall! 🤘🤘
Yeah! Can’t go wrong with a Marshall and especially with 800 💪👌😎.
Hey Euge! Great demo as always ;-) Definitely subscribed now!
Hey man! Thanks! 🙏👌
Sounds bad ass always loved the 2303 and the 2210
Yeah! Thanks!
Great playing bud !!!!!!!!
🙏🤟
Sounds so damn good!
🤟
I love this sound so much! Really great playing!
I have the JCM 800 2203x and this thing just rocks out (especially once you pass vol6 and preamp past about 4 ;)
Thanks! Indeed 👌💪
@@EugeValovirta230V Of course! That riff at around the 1:15 mark was dope asf!!
🙏💪
Awesome frikken tone my friend !
Thanks! 🤘
My JCM 800 2203 gets the exact tones as Judas Priest Screaming For Vengeance album... which is one of my favorite tones. Its also great on blues, classic rock and country.. its very versatile.
It is indeed 👌🤟.
I had one of these badboys in the early nineties. Slightly modded to give a little more front end oversteer. It still had to be played pretty loud to get some decent tone. Playing loud wasn't a real problem in those days anyway. Always a nice little open spot in front of the podium where the amp was!! :-) It was a vicious beast and the best sounding metal amp I ever owned. I sold it to switch to all 19 inch rack amps. That was "the thing" in those days!
💪
Omggggg 😱 the tone👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
💪👌😎
Shiiit.... What a lovely sound... Eargasm
😎💪
Tyhanks. Bro I wanna rock like you
Thanks! Glad to hear that :-)
Damn man. That is one bad ass sound.
😎💪
That sounds so good! I noticed that the imitations of a JCM 800 in my guitar software and in my Amplifi 75 always sound the best for a good metal tone. The real deal sounds way better, though. Tempted to get one. Damn.
👍🤘😎
Ohhhh so cool
👌😎
Just ordered the JCM800 Reissue and the Suhr Reactive Load IR both are in transit. Thx
Oh yeah! That’s so cool! 👌🔥🤘
Bravissimo 👍 bel sound, devastante e potente
🙏👍😎
That is such a killer riff
Thanks!
It became the first single of RED WOLF’s ’Sessions Vol. 1’ - album: ua-cam.com/video/HGAw0qXfoUs/v-deo.html
Wow, that tone is unreal.
😎💪
@@EugeValovirta230V tried the blu guitar rig. Same one you use. It’s unbelievable. Now I need to get back out there. Thank you for the inspiration
Cool man! Glad to hear!
I like your style Bros 🤟🏼
Thanks!
tengo uno en casa hace mas de 30 años,,,y no hay comparación con nada,,y le hice miles de km,,,gracias..la pegada que tiene,,,
That amp is a beast
Yes 💪.
If I couldn't see the video and only hear the audio I would think it's Zakk Wylde! I have a Marshall 8100 valvestate Head and I have never been able to have the sound you have. Witch to me is perfect. I went with a full rack mount system to get what I wanted and was about 98.3% of what I wanted.
😎👍🤘
I bought my JCM800 2203 reissue a few months ago. It wasn’t my first choice as I prefer a smoother tone like dual rec or a vh4 and always found the sound of the 800 a bit too bright and harsh. There was a crazy good deal and I just took a gamble. I immediately had buyers regret while it was still in the box but once I plugged it in ….. wow what a beast. And also some warm clean tones with the volume knob pulled back and on the neck. BUT, its very bright, and I have an SD-1 with the drive and level on full to get a good amount of gain. I can’t play it above about 2 on the master and at that level the treble is ripping my face off and really hurting my ears. The pre-amp if its above 7 seems to also make the sound messy and harsh (ice pick). I read others say that the brightness goes away once the amp master volume is above about 3, so perhaps I just need to attenuate it to get a better tone. Those comments are perhaps a little extreme because I do really like the amp and the more I play it the more I connect with it, its amazing how it reacts to your hands and its made me a much better player. It’s not an amp for a soft touch but that’s what a like about it, it rewards confidence and dynamics in playing. Any tips on smoothing the harshness?
Pre amp to 10. SD-1: level almost max, drive barely open, tone a bit over noon. Master past 3 💪. Tone stack according to taste. I like Marshall Vintage or Celestion V30 speakers the most with 800.
And yes 800 2203 is very in your face and might sound bright but in the context of a full band / mix it cuts through like a knife.
Here’s a video I did about the re-issue: ua-cam.com/video/LIn5YuDsuwI/v-deo.htmlsi=Lnr5U0C_fOsjN1AF
Kick ass brother!...
Thanks!
I have two SD-1s, one is modern, another is very old, 1982 as I could find info by serial number. And Dammit, I love them both, and i LOVE that MARHSALL 800s, all of them, hope I can get one someday. And I also play with EMG's 81/85 actually from late 90's with a Dean Explorer
Cool! 👌🔥
Best sounding jcm 800 of all time right here
Yes.
desde argentina¡¡ excelente tus videos test ¡¡ sobre todo los de marshall ¡ suenan perfectos¡ ,digo: lo bien que estan grabados¡( saludos)
🤘👍😎
Love your enthusiasm with the 2203's...Im looking for one now.
Hey Euge, could it be possible to do an honest appraisal of the Engl Powerball 2?...not much on you tube with those amps!
Keep Rocking!
😊👍
I don’t have one but if I get my hands on one then for sure.
Thanks! I will 🤘.
🔥🔥yes🤘
Indeed! :-) \m/
Something about the SD-1 that brings the 800 alive. I been using the Waza SD-1 and it's killer.
Indeed! Yeah I have the Waza too but prefer the original a bit more.
Euge - great as always ! Could you please let me ( us ) know your settings on your Marshalls - bass mid treble presence ? Thank you - Paul
Thanks! Oh I don’t have any; it depends what I’m looking for, what guitar I use, what cab / mics there is etc. I don’t pay much attention to where the knobs are ’cos I can’t hear a s*^%t with my eyes 😎.
What I had on this video? No idea but if I remember correct there should be pics 🤟.
Eugene is my new favorite!
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Awesome video and awesome sound! Pure raw power!
Thanks!
This is going to be my first tube speaker! What is the most important pedals i need to play rock/metal? Which overdrive pedal did you use?
I guess you meant tube amp 😊. A good overdrive is always good to have no matter the genre 👍. I use mostly BOSS SD-1 SuperOverdrive like on this video.
Beast mode. The jcm800 is the best amp Marshall ever came out with. Just run an overdrive pedal through it and you'll get all the punch you want.
Indeed 💪.
JCM is the ultimate 80s metal amp
Indeed and IMO the ultimate no matter the decade 👍😎
That’s a really good amp also 👌
Indeed.
It was Sweetwater. TheJvm410 is built on the JCM 800 2203 circuit design. That is why that one channel nearly twins the 2203. Also the 2555 is based on the 2203 circuit design for sure... but no cigar. I ordered the 2555 it is diverse from other Marshalls to a point that I think it slightly doesn't sound like a full blooded Marshall.
👌
That’s great! One of the best sound on youtube.
May I ask you which string gauge/brand do you use? It’s hard to reach good intonation on B tuning with such short scale!
Thanks!
DR strings and different gauges for different tunings / guitars. More on that on this one: ua-cam.com/video/fcDHMfo9voA/v-deo.html
@@EugeValovirta230V super kind of you, keep going on with the amazing work!
Cheers!
Holy sweet Mary mother of Jesus..... that is just tone Heaven. 3 seconds into you playing I realized you're a Zakk lover. I'm going change my pants now.
😎👍🤘
Ouaw ❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨
Have you tried EV12L ? How it compares to the Marshall vintage 30 or vented 75 speakers for Zakk tone. Although I love your style - you definitely have more than one flavor but of course I love your Zakk tributes. Like you, i love my sd1 and Marshall 2203 with 6550 tubes. Was thinking of loading a Marshall cabinet with ev12L 16ohm - put on top ( like Eddie ) and either v30 or t75 on bottom for early 80s Zakk tone ( pride n glory and prior ) and then a 2x12 semi open back with ev12 8ohm run by a jose modded jcm 800 with el34 so I can use the chorus ( wide ) pedal for that big sound. Possibly another 4x12.wanted to get your thoughts.
Probably the best sound in the world.
Indeed 😎👍
Drop D heaven man 🤘
Drop - Bb actually but yeah! 😎
@@EugeValovirta230V 😂 nobody's perfect! Still heaven tho 🤘 deadly tone
Indeed 😁👍
Hey man. Enjoy the videos, and just subscribed. But you must get a new Rockerverb 100 MKIII on your channel, and use the same SD overdrive. Great compliment to your studio setup.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Pure delight, again! Ever thought making your own signature amp? Or do you think it can’t get any better than your mighty JCM800? Stay safe!
Thanks!
It could be cool but I don’t think any brand that I like would be interested but if some would I’d just give them the 800 and ask them to replicate it😊.
You too!
Euge, you have influenced me to upgrade my Blackstar HT-1 head that I was using through a Marshall 1960A cab. Thank you!
Cool! Thanks!
Awesome video! Is there an interation of this amp called "2003"?
Thanks! Not that I know.
Getting one of these in next week, never owned one before. Mind sharing some light on how you eq yours to get such killer tone?!.
Cool! Crank the bass & preamp, master enough so that the amp wakes up and produces a bit of power tube saturation (this totally depends about the ”individual” amp - one of my 800 this is 6, on one it’s 3 and with this one it’s 2 - it’s off (0) or full blast (3) with this one 😎. Treble around 5-6 and presence I keep usually somewhere between 5-7 depending how much bite I want to have.
My advice is don’t look at the knobs but just use your ears to find the sweet spots ’cos every amp (especially 800s) are different. I dial any amp like this: ua-cam.com/video/vCxlsdErftk/v-deo.html
And boost the amp with OD. My favourite is BOSS SD-1 👌.
Great amp. It’s on my want list. Now priced at an unbelievable $3,450 US. Maybe one day. Fantastic!
💪👌👌
Hi. What tuning is that? I usually don't do lower tuning but I am inspired!! Just found this channel and your music and I am hooked. Amazing tones!! Thank You!!!!!
Drop - Bb. Glad to hear Wally! Thanks!
Like coming HOME!!!!!! I totally get what you're saying, you try other similar things, then come back to the REAL thing, you don't just HEAR it, you FEEL it, you SMELL it!!!! The presence is REAL!!!!! (I have a mid 1980s 2203 also, I need to get myself an I.R. load box and set up to accomodate the sheer MUSCLE of this damn fine amp that is like a vital organ in ROCK 'N ROLL all across the genre spectrum!!!!!!
I would also like to add. Although there are many different high gain amps out there where the differences may seem subtle to the external ear, but the HINTS and nuances can definately affect the creativity in music, I hear a vintage MARSHALL and think to myself , "Where DID that sound go??????" Meaning the end of the 1980s we lose something, even though the relevant Rectifier and 5150 tones saved the day for heavy music in the 1990s but the classic JCM 800 is thee holy grail and there's no substitute!!!! Great video Euge.
Hell yeah man! Exactly! 💪💪💪
Hey Euge! Just found your channel today and subscribed! Newb question for ya. What tuning are you using in this vid?
Hey man! Thanks and welcome aboard!
Drop-Bb. Here’s what this demo version on this video later became: ua-cam.com/video/HGAw0qXfoUs/v-deo.html
800 just sits so good in a mix like the p bass equivelent of an amp
Indeed 👌.
Hi Euge, great riffs there! :) I was surprised with your settings of the amp, especially with the master volume on 1, which is unussual to me. Such low settings do not overdrive that much the power tubes and in comparison to master volume around 7, which is more common for this amp as well as for plexi (same power section), it sounds normally thin. That's probably why you put bass above 9 to compensate it. I'm curious what was the reason of such low master volume settings? Was it because of the sound or due to some other reasons? I recently came across a problem with this amp and a reactive load and you gave me a hint how to solve it. Thank you by the way! :) Let me explain. I've built a clone of a 1959 plexi with a passive effects loop (the return jack is directly connected to the power section) and i've also built an external jcm800 preamp, which i sometimes plug in to the plexi power section giving me the 2203 amp of it. Then the amp is connected to Fryette PS-100 (reactive load & power amp) and to two 4x12 cabs. My problem was a high-pitched squeal, when I pushed the master volume of the "2203" (around 6-7) and boosted it (sd-1 or microamp or mxr eq). I noticed, that it was dependent on the proximity of guitar pickups to the reactive load. I've seen this video, your MV on 1 with a huge sound, so I gave it a try and my problem dissapeared. There's no more squeal, even if i'm very close to the reactive load. It seems like the more you push the amp, the stronger electro-magnetic field is generated around the attenuator and at some point and distance it goes to a squealing high pitched feedback through pickups and cabs. I'm curious whether you faced the same problem and that's why you do not push the power section such far, because you have also a 100W tube amp connected into a reactive attenuator and you stand very close to it. Sorry for such a long post. Cheers!
Hi Steve and thanks for your comment 👌.
The amp is a bit special: ua-cam.com/video/5I6nTYCEpVs/v-deo.html
I’ve always said that never dial settings by eyes but with ears 😊👌.
ua-cam.com/video/vCxlsdErftk/v-deo.html
Those horizontal input 800s run at higher plate voltages so theyre a little brighter and punchier then the OG vertical input ones. Both are killer but yeah doesnt sound modded. People just need to not be so afraid of treble lol. Killer demo Euge.
Yeah! Indeed 🤘👍. Thanks John!
🤘❤️🤘
🤟🙏
This amp sounds like a true dream amp! The desire to buy one is growing fast...is it possible to also use this amp at a lower volume at home? Or does it only have two modes: "leave it off" or "blow your windows out"? Would love to hear from you! Really like your content! 🤘
It does!
It’s like with tube amps in general: they sound like sh*#t on low volumes master turned low but luckily nowadays the reactive loads & attenuators allow us to play just with headphones, if needed, and crank the master to get that full power tube crunch 💪.
So yeah three modes: nothing at all, loud & extremely loud 😎.
Thanks! Really glad to hear that! 🙏
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks for your fast response! I think my neighbours won't be happy with this investment...😉 Now it's just waiting for a good deal to come by, but they seem to become very scarce these days.
Just get also a reactive load / attenuator and you’ll be fine. And your neighbours too 😁.
Teeth rattling gnarly tones. I have a Marshall Vintage Modern Head, I think it’s going up for sale and I’ll be getting an 800
Good old 800 is the king but try one before buying ’cos not all of them are good ones. I’ve played also with some really s%#t sounding ones but most of the time they’ve been great and once in a while just awesome like the ones I have 💪😎.
Killer
😎💪
Someone loves Zakk Wylde as much as I do! LOL Awesome!
Don’t know about that but thanks! 😎🤟
🤘🏻
🤘😎
Sounds sick! which cab IR was this?
Thanks! Can’t remember anymore what I used but the signal chain / gear should be in the video’s description 😎👌.
Hi Sir, a question from a newbie. How do you boost the volume from riffs to solo in a live show withe these single channel amps? A boost in front only changes the tone but not much of volume right?
Our FOH takes care of that 👌. Yeah a boost in front just pushes the preamp tubes harder = more gain but not volume. A boost in the fx loop (which these old ones doesn’t have) boosts the volume ’cos it’s after preamp section but before power amp 👌.
Fucking awesome man
💪🤘😎
I got a serious boy crush on you man 🙌 Love your passion!
😁🤟
I got the jcm 800 lead series studio classic head:) with 2x12 1936 with v30s with ts808
Cool! 👌🤘
When you play THAT KIND of heavy stuff and you own a 2203, you won't be pleased with any possibile other amp except for another 2203.
I own 2 of them too... I love em even with pedalboards in front on the low input.
I have owned many High gain amps (from Peavey to Mesa)... But a jcm800 with a SD1 in front, IT'S THE TONE ! Can't go wrong and you will ALWAYS cut through the mix.
Very nice video EUGE!
Indeed! 💪👌
Thanks! Really glad to hear!
Hello Euge, Love your vids, big fan 🤘🏻🤘🏻
A quick question, how do you get the delay on since there is no effects loops on the je 800 2203 early versions ?
Please let me know
Rock on 🤘🏻
Thanks! Really glad to hear! I just added it afterwards in Logic (where I recorded the audio) 👌
Thanks 🙏 Marshall should definitely pay you something, I just bought jcm 800 2203 ZW edition, and about to buy jcm 800 2203 (1989, waiting for the seller’s reply)
Now i’m Broke 😁😂
A question for you: How do you use the eleven rack?
😊👍
I used it just as my audio interface. Nowadays I use the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.
All riiiiiiiight
Thank you 🙏
Keep je knowledge coming my friend 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏
👍🙏😎
Since I’m assuming you leave the SD-1 most of the time for your rhythm tones what are you using to boost your solos volume wise?
Yes. Nothing; that’s our FOH’s job to ride the fader whenever he feels so 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks!
Hi Euge :)
Wich 4×12 cab do you recommend with this set up ? :
Jcm 800 2203 + emg 81 + sd 1
Tuning drop B
Thxxx
IMO any good cab (Marshall, Boogie, ENGL to name a few) with V30s or Greenbacks works for me no matter what other gear I use. And a Fryette Fat Bottom w/ Eminence P50Es (the only cab I have atm) works always too.
@@EugeValovirta230V thxxx Euge
Sounds badass. I'm trying to get my Studio Classic to sound like that. 5W & 20W modes. Can you list what you have each knob set to?
Thanks!
I have no idea what they were when I did this video but my advice is something like this 😎: ua-cam.com/video/vCxlsdErftk/v-deo.html
And I also did a video about the 20w 800 so please check this out if you’re interested: ua-cam.com/video/afYHbLukoNs/v-deo.html
It’s a great amp indeed and boosted with a BOSS SD-1 even better 👌😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks. I just boosted mine with an EVH 5150 overdrive. Get's me closer to the sound than the SD-1.
ua-cam.com/video/vtUHJtlVM78/v-deo.html
Cool! 👌
Mesa, peavey, orange...all good amps. Marshall and Eugene together are like 2 chainsaws blazing through hell. EL34S and the 800 are the real deal...period.
😎💪🤟
Such nice tone, Don't know why it kind recalls Killswitch Engage guitar tone, although both Adam D and Joel S used Fishmann pickups and Hughes & Ketner amps
Thanks man!
great tone !! what is your tuning?
Thanks! On this one it was Drop - Bb.
Euge Valovirta what gauges? how do you keep in tune with short scale
DR DDT 12-60. Easily as you probably heard. If intonation is adjusted correctly there’s no problem. And obviously the guitar has to be good too. And the player 😎.
what do you prefer this one or the EVH 5150 50 stealth ??
It’s JCM800 2203 💪😎. Aggressive, nasty & badass.
I have a 800 2203 1982 (vertical and not modded except metropoulos fx loop). It is almost the same with this one (I guess all 800s have differences) but I simply cannot get the tone on 5:33 and onwards. This is exactly the tone/gain I am struggling years to achieve from this amp and this is why it stays in the shelf while I have been playing with many other amps even handwired custom made. Note that I am using passive pickups but I do not think this is my problem!
Any ides what I am doing wrong?
Apart from the fact that I am maybe a 10% guitarist from Euge is...... :)
Hey man. I have a 1983 2203, from what I can hear your amp might have been modded, because it has a lot more pre amp gain than mine. It sounds awesome. I usually set my preamp knob at 9 and it doesn't have all that gain just by itself.
Oh cool! Yeah I think someone has done something for it back in the days😊👍. I’ll get my other 2203 from 1985 back soon and that should be stock (if I remember correct) so I can compare. RAWK!
@@EugeValovirta230V It would be really nice to compare those 2 amps. Also if someone could check what mod is that, because it sounds really good! I see your Zakk influences in this video, really good playing man. Congrats!
I’ll do a comparing video as soon as I get the amp but it’ll probably take a bit cos of the Corona.
I’ll also take the amp to a pro ”amp guy” to check it out when things get back to a bit normal again 👍😊
And thanks! Yeah Zakk is one of my fav players 👍
Question. Can you get that tone without any processors or overdrive pedals?
Only thing I had was the SD-1 in front since 800s doesn’t have that much gain. They just sound great. No post processing. And an oversized Mesa or Marshall cab with V30s or a pro quality IR of those like I have. That’s it. And yeah you need to sound good yourself = play with balls ’cos amps just amplify your sound 💪😎.
Awesome! If you max the amp gain, scoop the mids a little and put the SD-1 gain at 9-10 o clock, it's pretty much in the thrash/early death metal tone ball park.

Are you playing this through a cab in a home setup? Can it be set not to be way too loud?
Nope. I use the Suhr Reactive Load IR 👌. With a cab it would be extremely loud. So loud that I probably wouldn’t have a home 😁.
