Members Rufus Leaking Posted January 14, 2007 Members Share Posted January 14, 2007 Nice amp but wouldn't be my first choice for metal. You'll need a gain boost at minimum.. For the same money you could pick up a VHT or an Engl which would be much better suited for those tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, maybe I can sell that or trade it for something else down the line. I can fiddle around with tubes/OD/EQ and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JnBroadbent Posted January 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2007 No one has played this amp? I don't hear too much of budda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GITTarzann Posted January 15, 2007 Members Share Posted January 15, 2007 from the clips I have heard....the SD80 does really nice 80's metal tone, with a boost... the newer detuned stuff I wouldn't know...I don't think it would go there, but I really don't now. I do know...the Budda has killer tone for sure, and I would love to play with it for a while....at the very least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything from Judas Priest, Ozzy, Journey, to Iron Maiden, etc... We also did some Blues and Fusiony stuff and the amp sounded very nice. No boost, though I bet it would've handled it well. I didn't think it needed it, but... it sounded good. I bet some METAL guys who were thinking about sounding original instead of the "accepted" amps, would be able to make this amp work VERY nicely. Sounds to me like a hot rodded marsahllesque gain and tone stack, though I think a Marshall would cut through the mix better. It sounded more "modern Hi-Fi" than a Marshall.

Members yngzaklynch Posted January 15, 2007 Members Share Posted January 15, 2007 I've played the SD80 many many times. It is not a shred/modern metal amp. It'll get you classic EVH type tone. It's like a warm plexi with more gain and bass. You want a Mesa Mk IV perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does modern metal with ease, and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that it'll do modern metal. Plug it into a 4x12 and use the right guitar and it definatley will do modern metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitars used were a Schecter CET with an Air Zone or a BC Rich Mockingbird Archtop Supreme with a SD JB in the bridge. It's got a lot of gain but I just don't consider it a modern metal amp. For me the Uberschall, Mesa Mk series and DR series, 5150, Marshall JCM2000, Engl's, etc... those are modern metal amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hivedestruction Posted January 15, 2007 Members Share Posted January 15, 2007 Well ratter might chime in on my behalf. What do you consider modern metal? Lately with mine I've been using it to do an At The Gates, older In Flames type metal project without a boost.. It's not a crazy saturated metal amp but it has more than enough gain to to do all kinds of metal. p.s. the guitar I'm using is an Orville LP with Dimarzio Steve's special in the bridge.

This is what I want to hear. I really like to stray away from the typical stuff and see what else is out there. I love the sound of a more classic amp getting boosted and cranked with some shred behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jaeger28 Posted January 15, 2007 Members Share Posted January 15, 2007 If it's the new version with Push/Pull "Mid" poti, it does metal when you pull it.Otherwise it does EVH heaven. Buddas are really fun to play. However I only tried a Superdrive II 18, not an 80. But the 80 is supposedly harder than the 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
