Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 wait. you're saying acdc is just like any other big stage band and they run fake backlines for show while the real amps are backstage?preposterous. how could something so common be used by acdc? AC/DC's backline is not fake, all the cabinets are vintage 70's 1960B's loaded with either Celestion G12H-30's, G12T-75's or G12M Greenbacks.

Members catalinagooseV2 Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'll bet you money that only one or two of those amps are being used at any given time, and the rest are backups. There's plenty of touring guitarists that don't use amps at all, and run through modellers or speaker sims. Alex Lifeson plays arenas every day, and his H&K heads run through palmer speaker sims. Geddy doesn't even use amps, he's got a bunch of rotisserie ovens for his backline. Geddy was getting a pretty good tone when he was running the washer and dryer rig. When did he switch to ovens?

Yeah, I totally heard that Malcolm Young surfs a bunch of forums on the internet looking for people who say he uses a fake back line so he can go to their house and start a fist fight with them. This actually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 I know AC/DC's head & cab configuration is different depending on the venue.Malcolm has a power amp made by Wizard that has 12 6550's in it, don't even know how many watts 400?, 500?He also uses a combo of Marshall & Mesa cabs some with Greenbacks, some with V30's.I know Angus uses basically straight signal into 1959' 100 watt Mashalls using his Gibson pups for distortion, again into Marshall cabs, some V30's, some Greenbacks. From what I know about the Wizard amps Malcolm uses, they have (6) KT-88 power tubes each, which push about 50 watts each = approximate 300 watt amps. One is used during the show and one is a mirror image backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 Alot has been written online that Malcolm plays through a couple of old Marshall Super Lead 100's and Angus plays through a really old beat up Marshall JTM45 Plexi miked under the stage, and one Marshall Super Lead 100 on stage, blah, blah, blah. Total BULLCRAP!!! You don't play huge arenas with a couple of beat up vintage amps. Malcolm uses (6) Marshall Super Lead 100 amps using EL-34 power tubes, (4) Late 70's Marshall JMP MkII 2203 Master Volume 160 watt amps using 6550 power tubes, and (2) WIZARD 180 Watt Master Volume Custom Amps using KT-88 power tubes. Super Leads are cranked and the Master Volume Amps set to moderate gain and pretty much cranked. One half of the amps are in use with one identical mirror image backup for each amp used. Basically (3) Super Lead 100's, (2) JMP MkII Master Volumes, and (1) WIZARD are in use at the same time for clean tones mixed with medium gain crunch tones. His 4x12 cabinets use Celestion G12H-30's for good bottom end and that midrange crunch breakup. Some cabinets have Celestion G12T-75's for extra bottom end and smooth high end. Settings: Pres=0 Bass=8 Mids=5 Treble=7 Gain=5 Vol=10 Angus uses a similar arsenal of amps to Malcolm except he uses Celestion G12M Greenback speakers for more midrange to cut through the heavy AC/DC mix and controls his extra boost with his SG Volume Knob. And then you go on to list a bunch of vintage amps. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 You're wrong. I have it on good authority that Malcolm uses a Gorilla, and that Angus uses a 5150. Nope you're wrong.....they mic an Orange Micro Crush 3 watt into a 50,000 watt FOH. The Gorillas have crappy tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nerine Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think the avatar and moniker speak volumes about the OP to be honest. It's like, putting the year of your guitar as a sort of focal point is a bit naff and that picture of a dog wearing, what can only presumably be Brett Hitman Hart's sunglasses, is pretty awful too.

Members Nerine Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 63 is cooler than 79. 79 isn't particulary a "vintage" year for anything as far as I am aware. 1963 Strat; cool as {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
