Members thefyn Posted July 27, 2011 Members Share Posted July 27, 2011 When asked about whether MESHUGGAH has been working on new music and if he has any new gear he is using, Fredrik said, "Yes, we are working on a new album and have been for a long time. I'm so excited about this one. We've always tried to change how we write songs to keep it exciting, but on recent albums we've also been moving further away from working together as a band. On this album, though, everyone is working together. Every day that we're in the studio, we'll play whatever song we're working on, record a demo version of it to analyze at home, and then come back the next day, talk about it and try to make it better. I think because of this, it's going to be our best album yet. "We don't have a title yet, but when it comes to new gear, this one is going to be special, to say the least. I'm working with DAR Amplification to make this ridiculously powerful guitar amp. It's got 100 watts of true Class A power. The tubes are from Russian MiG 25 fighter planes; they're designed to survive a nuclear blast and keep the plane flying. It will be the world's most advanced modern tube amp. But most importantly, it's designed from beginning to end for the ultimate metal tone, and it sounds awesome. Can't wait for you to experience it!" For peeps who have never heard them: [video=youtube;qc98u-eGzlc] Very excited to hear this album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is funny. Can someone explain to me how a thin glass tube can survive a nuclear blast? If you knocked it off your kitchen table it would break like a lightbulb.

If you knocked it off your kitchen table it would break like a lightbulb. It's not about surviving a direct blast, its about the tube equipment being resistant to powerful electro magnetic pulses (like those produced from nuclear explosions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhenson42 Posted July 27, 2011 Members Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think if you and your amp are near a nuclear explosion, you're not gonna be worrying about whether or not your tubes survived the blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you knocked it off your kitchen table it would break like a lightbulb. Yeah, it is not that it will survive a blast, but it can operate under large Electro Magnetic Pulses while transistors cannot. Also it doesn't keep the plane flying, it's simply used on the plane's communication devices. Matter of fact, military contracts are what keep the tube industry in business, once military field communication moves away from tubes, it will be all over, as the guitar/audio tube market is NOT big enough to keep these businesses afloat.

Members Repner Posted July 27, 2011 Members Share Posted July 27, 2011 same company, slightly different amp iirc. After looking around, apparently it is the signature model (or at least a prototype). FBM stands for "Future Breed Machines" [video=youtube;ZHJu3tmeAiM] [video=youtube;STbg1c4GqXg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
