DOWN's Tone...

[mcclano]

...Is absolutly amazing! :saeek: It has to be the best metal tone EVER!!!! Its really heavy but it has that vintage feel to it!

Does any1 know what guitars and amps they used? I know they only hired that equipment while recording.

I think Pepper used old Marshalls and Gibson SG / Fender Tele on the NOLA album. On Down II, Pepper had the ESP "sg" and Randall amp? Correct me if I'm wrong.

..If you also want to know about some pups that work well for the Down sound?..
..The Pearly Gates(neck) Custom Custom(bridge) Custom(bridge) & the Invader(bridge) all work well.

Re: DOWN's Tone...

I asked Kirk from Down this very same question. He told me that on NOLA he used Gibson guitars thru a JCM800; while Pepper used ESP's thru a Rivera amp of some sort. When I saw them on the Down II tour, they were both playing thru Randall amps.

Re: DOWN's Tone...

yeah, casblah's right on the money. on II, kirk used a goth SG and pepper mainly used his main esp SG with an anderson H3 pickup in the bridge (i have one and HIGHLY reccomend it for down tone and in general) and a P90 in the neck. pepper also used some teles and strats, and i think they both did some solos with phil's old SG with the vibrola thing and single P90
