You guys need to up your game brah
Looking for a classic "ugly" 90s death metal tone with enough note separation that it won't be total mud. Basically I'm using the Line 6 HX Effects HM-2 model into the power section of my VHT, but I have a couple other things in the chain including an EQ afterwards to boost and shape it.
I used to have an Ampeg SS-150H half stack that nailed that sound.
I have to admit I'm surprised you would be anywhere within a five mile radius of 90's death metal tone, but, cool. Ampeg guitar heads weren't common in any of the scenes I grew up around. I only ever saw one local band using them live, and they sounded great.
