My divinity's supposed to be here Wed, cannot wait.

The last interview I read they were talking about how they used Ampeg into 1960 Marshalls for the album, harkening back to Destroy. I'm betting they're using D2's and cabs on tour though.

Dying Fetus is my favorite band, and has set the model tone I chase after. John Gallagher currently plays a LTD Explorer with EMGs (81 bridge, I assume) through an Ampeg VH140C into Mesa Rectifier 4x12 cabinets. He has previously used Vader 4x12 cabinets and Marshall 1960s, also with the VH140C. Every Dying Fetus album was recorded with the Ampeg VH140C, except for Descend Into Depravity, which was recorded with an Engl Savage 120. He's been seen on stage with primarily the Ampeg VH140C, occasionally the Engl Savage 120, and in some rare instances has been running a Mesa Mark V. On the recent tour with Cannibal Corpse and Devourment, he only played the VH140C.

Of course, with any international touring band, they play through shared and rider equipment and some things will change depending on tour, but the VH140C is the core of Dying Fetus tone, and even the Engl Savage is EQ'd to resemble the Ampeg. He carries the Ampeg across the world, but not the Engl. Hmm...

Yes they do. The VTX 350 sounds incredibly close. I've recorded them side by side with the same guitar, same cabinet. You wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

They still are. Same factories overseas , same distributor. Ampeg has started producing some amps in the US again but the majority still comes from the same factories
