Dime from Pantera __________End of Thread___________ j/k I think some death metal bands do or have, and I think even King's X guitarist used to play a SS Peavy amp or even a PA or something like that; at least I read something along those lines once, it seems.

Members Stephen Colbert Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 I just bought a Randall all tube combo amp yesterday, the Randall RG50TC to be exact.

Members Inazone Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 Jeff Loomis is (or was) using Line 6 amps. Dave Mustaine supposedly is now as well. Until last month, I had always used tube amps, but I bought an old ART DST head to try out at a gig, and it sounded fantastic. However, it's one of a select few solid state amps I've played in my life that actually sounded good at a high volume, and could hold its own against a tube amp on the same stage.

Members comfortablynumb Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 Apparently the guy from System of a Down was using a Mode Four for a while.

Members Exocaster Posted November 20, 2006 Members Share Posted November 20, 2006 Originally posted by comfortablynumb Apparently the guy from System of a Down was using a Mode Four for a while. Don't know if he still is or not, though. From what I remember, those were just for endorsement purposes and he never really used 'em live. Someone who teched for him posted on here- and I think I've heard this from another source as well- that his real live rig is a Divided By 13 and an old Superlead. Originally posted by JokokerPorcupine Tree - Line 6 PODXT Isn't Steven Wilson just using the XT for cleans, though? If I recall correctly, he's still got his Bad Cat out there. If using SS for cleans counts, then In Flames (Pod XT Pro) and Metallica (JC 120) belong on the list. A few more, off the top of my head: Suffocation- Ampeg VH140C Dying Fetus- Ampeg VH140C Scott Ian- Randalls, don't remember which model Kenny Hickey (Type O Negative)- MosValve power amp Jerry Cantrell- MosValve power amp (before he got his 2:90) C.C. Deville- Crate SS heads Adrian Belew- a ton of modeling stuff, Johnson Millenniums, primarily At The Gates- Peavy Supreme 160 on Slaughter Of The Soul In Flames- Marshall Valvestates on The Jester Race and Whoracle Peter Tagtgren- Sansamp PSA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
