Examples of the JB sounding heavy?

[Rex_Rocker]

Looking for some inspirations to dial in some tones.

Personally, my favorite JB sound is Arch Enemy - Anthems of Rebellion.

I know Megadeth used it. Wha other cool heavy tones were made using the JB?

Damn man, I had no idea they used JBs on Anthems of Rebellion.

Alice in Chains was powered by JBs once upon a time, for Dirt at least, I think.

Older Arch Enemy, when Michael Amott was still using ESPs, check out Doomsday Machine!

Haha I jumped right to reply before noticing you were already ahead of me on the Arch Enemy, great minds think alike lol!

Yeah, pretty much all the Angela Gossow Era minus probably Khaos Legions because he had his signature pickup by then.

I love those tones.

Hard to pick a favorite between Doomsday and Anthems, but Anthems is more my jam, I think, as far as tones. Doomsday is extra aggro, though.

Honestly, I never really understood why Mustaine moved to his active LiveWires (except $$ reasons, of course). I much prefer the JB tones of the RIP/Countdown era.

An interesting sidenote: in a recent interview, Dirk Verbeuren (current Deth drummer) said they did a lot of work trying to recreate a bunch of classic Megadeth tones on the new / final album. I wonder if that means they went back to JB-equipped guitars for certain tracks?

Speaking of Dirk, love his drumming on Soilwork!

I'll let you know when my band's next album drops, it's all JB through a 5153.

Scott Ian from Anthrax uses a JB

One of my favorite heavy JB tones is Jerry Cantrell's rhythm sound on "We Die Young."

 

[Aceman]

Heavy enough?

JB into:
- Maxon OD-9 or OD808X into 5150III 6L6 50w with 12at7wc in V1, or
- SD1 into JCM800 studio with Hot Mod Evo V2
Both absolutely crushing. JB rocks!

absolutely, although in the solos Cantrell kicked in a 1KHz eq push, that's what he said back then
