Messages Messages 1, Obviously there are many other choices, but it would seem that all the others are somewhat a variation or improved version of these three.

Ronsonic Member. Messages 3, Far enough apart that it's hard to generalize. I know nothing about "nu-metal" and my only familiarity with most "death metal" varieties is fixing the amps. I can say something about the range of stuff from old Deep Purple to Speed and Thrash. Some guys use a gained up amp others a pedal.

Nobody seems to do both. What I've seen from the guys I've worked with is much less distortion than the average or above average listener perceives. Overdrive too far and the bottom end turns to mush and the top doesn't articulate. Heavy is heavier if the amp is basically holding together. By the time the power tubes distort it isn't heavy anymore and gets overcompressed and small sounding. Jesse Keeler Death From Above Jezy Ward Hemlock. Jim Bob Gairrett Kenny Chesney.

I've seen a couple of YouTube videos one audience-filmed where it looks like there are '80s era Peavey SS amps onstage.

Not sure if he still uses them. I read a magazine interview where he mentioned using it on his album in I've seen a few pictures where he has gigged with it. A Dumble hidden in disguise?

I saw one in his live-in-the-studio video with Leon Russell Paradise Studios. Any others? Or any corrections to the above? Oct 23, 2.
