Members JBecker Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 There are a lot of choices here, though most post-rock bands I know use pedals for their gain sounds. If you want both in the same box I'd be looking at the Vox AC30. If you want to get the best cleans and drives sounds more like most of those bands, I'd be thinking about a Fender Twin or Bandmaster, or the like. A Fender Bassman 4x10 wouldn't be a bad option. Remember a lot of the post-rock stuff the tone from the amp is really just an awesome loud clean and it's the delays and gain pedals that give a particular band their sound.

Members .homewrecker. Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 An original Sunn Model T would be awesome, JCM 800 2203, like Ataris said either a Fender Twin, or Bassman would rock, there are tons of options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members damnuandurdog Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 Also check out Ampeg bass heads too. http://www.myspace.com/caspiantheband Caspian uses a mix of Fender, Mesa and Marshall although I'm unsure what the exact models are.

Members petejt Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 Any Matamp, although they are pricey I believe. A Vox AC-30 is a good one though. Orange also is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CaseyMAN Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 Check out some old KMD XV100SD heads if you can find one.. Awesome for the price and have tons of room for rock to nice clean sounds, it can definitely do the heavy chords sounds too with a boost up front. Also check out the Egnater TOL100 if you can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Relayer71 Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 There are many different "post-rock" guitar sounds. GBYE usually has the clean with some mild distortion, Tortoise has more of a warm Jazzy clean sound, Trans Am can go from acoustic to clean electric to some 80s "hair metal" type distortion - and that's to name a few. But I would say the majority have a clean sound so go for something like a Roland JC120 - loud, very clean, nice chorus fx and add a Tube Screamer or something similar for some balls. Actually, a sound that I hear on some "post-rock" recordings is similar to the sound on many Sonic Youth recordings so play a Jazzmaster + Tone Master + Screwdriver and use some really fucked up tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 For instance, a Twin Reverb with any single coil guitar with an RV3 that never gets turned off is basically Explosions in the Sky. But generally, a good versatile clean is what you want and some sweet fuzz/od pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
