80s Hard Rock/glam Metal Tone

Re: 80s Hard Rock/glam Metal Tone

Aphex Aural Exciter was another version that was in common use.

And of course, dare I say it? Perhaps quietly... Scholz Rockman

Why quietly? All people of true taste and discernment love a good Rockman.

They threw the best parties in their practice space. That was a great time to be around Boston Music, Extreme, Spread Eagle, In the Pink, Tin Pan Alley, MASS, the list goes on.

That "time" was a great time for music pretty much everywhere, even in Raleigh, NC the scene was great and full of really good bands.

This may be the best thread ever. As long as the chorus stays on...

I was just going to remind the OP not to turn off the chorus.

Check out Amptweaker , they are made by James Brown, he's the guy who worked with Eddie to make the 5150 and he's the godfather of tone.

I suggest a more holistic approach to the 80s Glam tone . -after the Super Strat with Duncan Invaders, a Tube Screamer into Rack mounted Multi Fx unit including Flange, Phase, Chorus, Harmonizer, Reverb into a Marshall stack -it also requires hair, makeup, and parachute pants. -otherwise you are never going to nail the tone.

Not quite.... not Invader-S, plural

An Invader (or Hotrail or Distortion) plus 1 or 2 single coils

Good point -except maybe it should be INVADERS -as each wound coil is technically a pickup :lmao:

Re: 80s Hard Rock/glam Metal Tone

Correct answer is SuperD or JB

And the singles were just there for show

Correct answer is the single coils were for the obligatory Metal Love Ballad required on each record.... :lmao:

I'm fairly certain I was just making a Metal Love Ballad joke.

The Metalzone is not for 80's rock. Scandinavian death metal is what it is made for.

Has anyone thought to try this? I never got around to playing through one of these back in the day, but maybe DOD had the answer all along.
