Members warped79 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Would anyone think either of these amps would suit the low tuned djenty tone better? With a boost running on both amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vic Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 i had the cobra and didnt really like it the voicing wasnt really for me but im dying to try a uber though there kind of like a recto dark really saturated and kinda loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warped79 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks! I can pick up either for a pretty similar price 2nd hand at the moment, and heard so much about Ubers ability to handle low tuned guitars and ultra low 3D sound the advertising points towards it for that sound. But the Cobra's are always noted for their tightness so thought that would be a tick in the Cobra box too. Do Cobra's get just as juicy sounding as Ubers? Or is it a whole different sound all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members warped79 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 No probs! It's a Sherlock Fat Head - check the specs out online www.sherlockamps.com - the are made in Australia (the website doesn't really do it justice - Dale Sherlock is great guy who is pretty set on using the best of everything in his amps) All tube, midi switchable, 4 channel, multiple voicing controls on all channels, gain boosts, dual presence, dual master volume, deep switches, etc all switchable/accessable via midi.. Designed to be a very versatile high-gainer.. Very cool easy biasing features too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members warped79 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 What the hell is djent? haha - it's a stupid term that people have used to describe the low tuned chugga chugga guitar tone that Meshuggah and bands of that nature have going on..

Members OverDriven Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Personally, I think of all the tube amps, VHT's seem to do that "djent" thing (what a stupid term) the best. Give em a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I've owned the one... the newest version...) I'd be looking at tighter amps like Engl and VHT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members noseminer Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 djent is that metallic sound you get from striking a 4 string power chord (ie 2 octaves in 4ths). beginning of sub levels or 4:53 in I by meshuggah are good examples. I would think engl powerball would be the best for the djent sound though, with the super saturated tight thing it has. Some of tesseract's clips are done with the powerball and he is quite the djentleman. I also think the uber would be too bass heavy for the djent and it would get too flubby.

Members RhettHours Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 you're all ridiculous. i am in a band like that, and i use an uberschall. its awesome. totally natural organic sounding and roars. i use lundgren m6s and m7s in my guitars and its balls.
