The Wall of DEATH

Re: The Wall of DEATH

aside from a peavey audition, the original VS line was my first amp as well. a dozen amps later I came back to the 8100, although I use it with a lot less gain now than I did in the past. I kinda prefer my jtm30 these days though - has a bit more of the "maracas" sound I like.

I had a used crate like that one, it sounded horrible and needed repairs, then I sold it after the repair :)
 
Re: The Wall of DEATH

Oh the fun I'd have if I had a setup like that.

That's what I'm thinking too....

... Once I have those shelving units in the same room as my recording computer. It was easier to clean off those shelves in another room for the picture. :D

I do have two of those shelving units in my recording room, they're just full of stuff right now. It'll be a project to clean them off, but once I do, I've got all the cabling I need for setting up the amps, my breakout box, preamp, A/D converter, etc. I kinda want to rearrange the room a bit too, as I only want to set this up one time.

Don't let em give you crap dom... I've always liked solid state Amps better myself.... Call me weird, but i like what i like.
 
Re: The Wall of DEATH

Very cool, but why having 10 mediocre amps? You could've gotten one 5150, or boogie, or marshall or whatever higher end tube amp

I play a Triaxis, but still keep my Crate solid state. I can get a couple of sounds out of the Crate GX that are fairly unique to that amp.

And the Marshall Valvestates are no joke... I have seen several of those band listed above and never complained about their tone on stage. I was fortunate enough to see Chuck Schuldiner and Dime Abbott before their untimely deaths. I have seen Dino and Victor with FF and Prong as well. Putting some time into an SS amp (and having a good sound man) can go pretty far.

Just because an amp doesn't fall into the few most popular category does not mean a good player cannot get good tones out of it.
 
Re: The Wall of DEATH

Oh, and Dom, like the clean shelf setup for those. The next step is wiring them to a patchbay so you can have access to the inputs, outputs, and effects loops from the front! Hell, you could MIDIfi the whole thing with a Voodoo Lab GCX switcher!
