Members Syyle Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 I am playing through a Schecter C-1 Classic which has passive JB humbuckers which naturally have a fantastic tone and the axe has some pretty smooth sustain. I am playing through a BOSS Gt-8 pedal for effects and distortion, so I am pretty happy with both of those. Currently, the amp I am using is a marshall jcm900 100watt full tube combo. it's "okay" but it doesn't quite have that "bite/crunch" or heaviness I imagine a half stack of a different brand could get...? The tone I am looking for is something in the vein of tool, deftones, gojira, etc. I know those are distinctly different bands, but i really like the atmospheric and beautiful tonal quality their guitars can get at times and I want something that can sound clear and heavy at the same time. I was looking at the Peavey Valveking Half stack, maybe...? My budget is right at 1000$ +/- about 200$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 9ball Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 get a used DSL and send it to FJA mods for a new OT and choke.that would eat up your thousand.... then you'd need a cab...you could get an avatar 2x12 with a V30/g12h30 combination....or hellatones.

Members Syyle Posted October 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 see, the thing is, i have spent a ton of quality time getting to know this pedal and figuring out how it works, and i can get it sound "almost" as good as some peoples boutique analog pedal setups. it's just a tool, like anything else. i am looking for something that shouldn't need modding. and i also want a 4x12 cab. is DSL the same as Diezel?

Members Syyle Posted October 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 cool. what kind of distortion sounds can these babies create? pretty heavy? depending on the cab i assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monoXstereo Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 Go check out some clips. Both amps will have a ton. Or better yet, hit up your local dealer and try for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a Marshall DSL (dual super lead), the DSL's loop is not going to work that well with your GT8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brick Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 get rid of the pedal. You'll find, with nicer amps, it's only going to hamper the tone rather than help it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
