Members 17 Tubes Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 I've liked almost all of the Scorps tone. Seems like straight up Marshalls...maybe heated up a bit. Blackout rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use ENGL Savage amps now. They sound like they always have. Mathias also has used SLOs for his lead parts. But they always sound the same when i see them live:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thegame Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Anyone else think that the older Scorpions tones (The Zoo, late 70's stuff) sounded alot like EVH? They both used Slyvania 6CA7s tubes. Pretty grinding tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Never cared much for most of their tones. Kinda hollow and harsh to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ranalli Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 I think their older tones are pretty much the standard Marshall crunch type sound....great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
