I don't remember the pre-amp . But he talked about VHT a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GibsonSG Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 Accordig to this interview from Dave around the time Countdown was released http://megadeth.rockmetal.art.pl/articles_practisingmusician1992.html He was using: King VVHT Power AmpBogner PreampMarshall 300 CabinetsTubeworks preamp for lead work Mustaine's gear has remained the same - his production line King V from Jackson, a VHT power amp, a Bogner preamp, Marshall 300 cabinets, and a Tubeworks preamp for his lead work - but a new component now plays a key role in his sound: the BBE 441, from Barkus Berry Electronics, a delay unit with parametric EQ.

Members MasterOfSolos Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 Originally posted by jcourtjr What were they using on the first couple of albums and tours? Not really too sure. Marshalls, and Dave used a rockman distortion generator through them at one stage....and metaltronix amps and marshalls for so far so good so what? I agree with the VHT and CAE thing too. The JMP-1 was only used during the Cryptic Writings Era. Then Dave moved to a Rocktron Piranha for Risk, and then after that it's the Rocktron Prophesy.

Members Duke of Metal Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 Wow.. Dave used a BBE along with a Parametric EQ. Mustaine's gear has remained the same - his production line King V from Jackson, a VHT power amp, a Bogner preamp, Marshall 300 cabinets, and a Tubeworks preamp for his lead work - but a new component now plays a key role in his sound: the BBE 441, from Barkus Berry Electronics, a delay unit with parametric EQ Interesting..

Members 64DUECE Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 So many different combinations. This is what I've always thought. Mostly from articles and shit. R.I.P. JMP-1 CAE 3+ VHT 2150 Crate V30 cabs (Absolute best metal tone ever) Countdown Rocktron Prophecy Bogner Fish EL34 100/100 Marshall cabs (Not sure about speakers) Since then??...............Couldn't fucking tell ya. I quit chasing after every article about Mega Dave, and haven't seen them live since Youthanasia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angry again2 Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 I saw a pic of his rig in A magazine and he was using the Marshall JMP-1, Marshall 100/100 power amp, a Marshall effects processor, and an aural exciter(not quite sure if thats the right name but it's like the bbe sonic maximizer). That was his live rig but I can't remember the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cincy Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 not to make this anymore confusing but he used a gallien krueger setup at one point so says this book I've been looking at. Don't know how accurate it is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members p4vl Posted May 14, 2006 Members Share Posted May 14, 2006 I found an old 'thrash-oriented' issue of Guitar School, with an interview with dave and dave right after the LA Riots. The following quote refers to getting Marty to mesh with Megadeth, so the gear he's talking about was used on Rust in Peace, possibly on Countdown. "We didn't discover what a good lead player he was until he started using my gear. We had our tech set up a duplicate of my system for him, which consisted of a Bogner Triple Giant preamp and a VHT 2150 poweramp." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
