      Gibson must still be kicking themselves for letting Metallica slip through the cracks. Most people know Metallica loved Gibsons and used them on their early albums. One of the biggest bands in the world should be playing Gibsons (not ESP) and showing them off on stage all over the globe if Gibson's artist relation guys did not have their heads up their a$$.
      You think they would have learned from this and treated Static-X like gold.

    Wayne - cool dude. He and Maynard grew up about 45 miles apart - there is something in the water here, and an interesting culture of trying to find your own sound using what you have. It's less so now with online music stores, but back in the 70s and 80s we used what ever gear filtered into the area and just tried to make it our own by trial and error. Even the little garage bands had weird gear that lead to each band having a unique sonic signature, and now days everyone is trying to copy someone else's sound, so Im not sure that is an improvement.

    GOD I F#@KING HATE THAT AMP!!! Had one for 2 days, complete bitter garbage. As far as Static-X, I loved them. I loved how the played with industrial styles and still had such a unique sound. I saw them on Ozfest in like 1998 or something. They played Wisconsin Death Trip from start to finish FLAWLESSLY! It was insane! I also really dig their approach to riff and song writing. They used like 5 chords in the entire album but played in a way to give each song its own feel. These kinds of dynamics are lost on a lot of metal heads today. Everyone wants to cram as many power chords and riffs down your throat as they can without doing justice to the songs. Cheers man! RIP Wayne!

    Part of that big sound was Koichi's VHT Pitbull UltraLead. The UltraLead's have KT88 tubes in them. Huge and tight sounding. On the guitar side of things, Wayne's favorite guitar was a 1972 Les Paul Goldtop Deluxe with mini humbuckers(modded and swapped in full size humbucker in bridge). He also used a Gibson Gothic Flying V and a Gibson Gothic Explorer with a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge. As far as cabinets go, The last stage rig I seen him with were Marshall 1960 cabinets. Majority of the material was tuned to CFA#D#GC. Some tracks on Start a War are actually Drop A#.

  • @xanataph
    @xanataph 5 років тому

    The VS-100 was the first Marshall I bought. But I used it with a 1960A cabinet, which at that time had the 75 watt Celestions loaded in it. It was a good move buying that cab instead of the dinky Valvestate one, as it had a thicker tone and was convenient when I decided to upgrade to a real valve amp, but I got a Peavey 5150 instead of a Marshall though. Yeah, I think there is something in that it sounds better recording valve amps to digital than solid state, no matter what kind of analogue or digital "tube modelling" they are attempting. Tape sounds great with both valve & solid state amps.

    Before watching, I remember as I had the same model for a while which was a Marshall MG-series 100 watt transistor/solid-state amp before they began adding onboard modulation and delay. I also have had a few valvestate Marshalls in my time. The contour control on the high-gain channel of the amps is very useful along with the typical tonestack, It has/was often abused by people, in the same way, the infamous Boss MT-2 have been yet in moderation it is possible to keep the mid-range you want/need dialled in whilst cutting out some of the lower mids around the 260 to 380 Hertz region. It is a shame Marshall decided to stop doing that as if they were to release a good proper transistor amp with a class A/B solid-state power amp instead of the now common class D variety, With that contour control brought back along with keeping the more recent "frequency dependent damping" switchable FDD option which tightens up the power amp and adds a more aggressive voicing. No onboard stuff such as DSP modulation and time effects and also no digital spring reverb algorithm as that is an area we all have pedals, multi-effects floorboard units and/or rack mountable devices which are capable of far better results. The team just spending all their time and research put all into making a really good transistor amp that hasn't cut corners and isn't specifically aimed at beginners as such. A pair of or even a trio of FX Loops (One for the clean to crunch channel, one dedicated to the high-gain rhythm and lead channel plus the third would be universal over the amp and regardless/independent of the others. A preamp out and power amp in and finally the array of loud speaker outpiuts.
    I'd buy one for sure.
    If I am wrong then my bad but still stand behind the rest of what I said regarding Marshall bringing back stuff from older designs to offer a great qualuty transistor/solid-state amp.
    Cheers CIRCE OF TONE and all. Dean

      Props on the Boss NS-2, A pedal that I depend on and no other suppressor/gate does it so well for me and I've tried a ton even my studio rack gear like Drawmer and dbx gates are not the same, I hear people claim they "suck tone out" but that is nonsense to me, Yeah best to not use if you don't need but for heavy high-gain stuff they get rid off all the crud you don't want and leave what you do, They don't chatter....etc. either. I've not tracked other players without using one and most have ended up getting their own after playing through one set up right. Dean

    If the Valvestate was the VS 8100 model, like I suspect, it's responsible for early Meshuggah tones as well. I bought that head and a tattered JCM800 cab for $600 even at a pawn shop 10 to 15 years ago at a local pawnshop, and the current me absolutely kicks myself for letting that rig go for even less, though I paused the video right as you were speaking on VS to digital issues. Hoping some functionality knowledge of such is a consolation prize. On with the rest of the video, fingers crossed.

I'm sick of the v30/sm57 thing though. Overdone IMO. That's a newer techniqie and since that was introduced in the mid 90's as a standard, the hits dried up re metal and rock.

  • @Corvid

    I have a love/hate relationship playing industrial metal with the Tech 21 SansAmp PSA-1! It's the most ridiculously tweakable amp I've ever used, the pots feel like they've got 200% more range than they should do. The level you can refine the gain stages, and the amount of gain you can controlably use is frankly insane. Even the line out is passable for Ministry/Rammstein tones (interestingly, both Paul Landers and Uncle Al have verifiably used them heavily, most notably for me on the albums Sehnsucht and Rio Grande Blood). The moment you start using EQ and saturation and/or a character-heavy power amp after it, you quickly get album ready tones. Most importantly, it feels like no other amp I've played.
    It's a labour of love though... Holy SHIT does it take some tweaking to get the sound feel right. Like grab yourself box of Adderall/Ritalin and sit yourself down with two packs of strings level, it's painful. That said, the next day when you go through the presets (and the preset function is the ultimate saving grace), you'll have 4 or 5 tones that will never be touched for decades.
    The best tones I've ever had come from DR DDT strings (10/60s) on a ESP Eclipse, with a Bareknuckle Nailbomb bridge pickup (direct to jack, no volume/tone pots). That goes into a Radial Tonebone V2, purely for the clean gain, and "Baseline/Drag" function. Those last two allow you to somehow tame obscene levels of gain on the PSA-1 into something that feels perfect for playing Lies Lies Lies or Rio Grande Blood. Bit of a unique tone, but if you love it, you love it.
    I thought it was just my personal preference, but my late bandmate (who could legitimately play guitar, unlike me, who literally just smashes power chords because it's fun and simple) also fell in love with the PSA-1, there's something about it when used with heavy, fresh strings. As if to cement it's perfection even more, the PSA-1.1 and 2.0 are both absolutely shite: the pots don't feel to me like they do anything, all of the balls and power is gone. It's way easier to use, and get normal tones out of, but the PSA-1 is something else. Love/hate.
