| I'm not sure, for me anyway, if there is one single amp that does it all for heavy sounds. It's all about the blend and stacking multiple tracks. On this last band I've been working on, we are stacking (4 seperate takes for the main rhythm guitarist), 2 Marshall JCM800's and two THD univalves. The bassist brought his 800 in for shits and giggles and it sounded a lot fizzier than mine, which is deeper and clearer in the mids, very strange. For this particular group that combo worked best, they are not heavy enough for the whole rectifier thing...I've had some stellar results in the past with a sort of 'Helmet meets Pennywise' band called Nevertheless combining a Rectifier with a Sovtek MIG 100 put to 50 watts. |
