The 2nd was Randall Cyclone

The 3rd was Randall RM4

 

Motorhead uses Mode 4s now too ( at least they were in the live video i saw on scuzz the other night)

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.

 

 

Not too sure, but I think he used the Pod for more than just cleans. Even still, it's progressive rock; everything goes and a song still counts as a whole.

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.
:eek:

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

 

Actually, i believe Jerry Cantrell switched from the 2:90 to the Mosvalve, saying he needed the crispness of SS or something? He was running the Bigner Fish pre-amp into it, of course.

 

Scott Ian is using the V-max heads now, and i think he used a Cyclone for a while too.

They used Valvestates on those albums?? :eek:

 

And when I saw Suffocation live last week one guitarist had 2 XXXs and the other had an XXX and a 5150 II.

Indeed they did. 8100s boosted with a Metal Zone. :eek:

 

I think I heard something about that recently, that Suffocation switched over to Peavey. They were big VH140C users for a long time.
