Members petejt Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 You know the song where Ice-T is chanting "Bodycount body-mother{censored}en-count" & all layered, and there's those triplety riffs and then just slam chords? In the beginning The tone to me sounds like an early Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. It sounds loose, and big, and that characteristic buzz when the gain is up way too high. Is it? I'm sure that the song was recorded in the early 1990s, when the Rectos were first released. Later on in the song the gain is tamed a little, and more layered, a bit more compressed and tamed, but big-sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted August 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 Not really sure but OMFG, a Body Count thread 1!!11 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSCQyAZXBG0 Thanks mate! Yeah just recently I've been getting right into the ol' Body Count stuff, it's pretty good {censored}. I don't mind some old skewl rap, old rap metal is alright, compared to the later nu-metal. A mate of mine at work got me hooked into it, he'd play it off the toughbooks out in the field. At first I thought the amp might be a boosted fizzy-sounding Marshall layered heaps, but then I thought it might be an old Recto. Hopefully someone knows about it?

Members DARKMETL/ Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 It looks like Mesa/Boogie is the only amp brand mentioned in the special thanks section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeloAngelo Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 the new version of body count uses mesa. back in the day it was marshalls. but ice t was so rich he could drop whatever amount f money on gear lol. so it could be anything. theres only 2 original members in the new body count. the lead guitarist and ice t. the rest died of cancer and one died in a drive by while he was working for iggy pop.

Members 4nkam Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 Actually, I think it was a Mark III...I am not sure on the rectos but I know they were using Mark IIIs back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members facefirst Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm pretty sure Ernie C. used Mark III's. He also used a sweet maple board Jackson Soloist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members K.platyops Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 Whatever they used on the song "Drive-By" is fantastic for the brewtal sound. Could that really be a MarkIII? It sounds more Mark series to me than Recto, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted August 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 10, 2007 In the second part of the song "Body Muthafukin Count" (you hear the singer shout out "1994" and his voice has been lowered an octave), the guitar tone sounds tighter, not so buzzy and fizzy as like in the first part of the song (with the police radio talking & siren), more like a modified Marshall/maybe Mark series Boogie tone? It's interesting to see that they possibly used MarkIII amps. Thanks folks for mentioning that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I listen to the song, the more it sounds like what you described. Very mechanical, clanky sounding. It's wierd, as halfway through one of the songs (Body Mutha{censored}in Count), it sounds like they backed off the gain slightly and added some "distance" to the sound (not so clacky and in your face), and the tone is HUGE!
