crossroadsnyc Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 yes they should It's been my job for a 1/4 century. And I wasn't taking a pot shot it is possible that he does not know how to utilize a SS amp. Ok, my bad ... I must have read that wrong. I thought you were throwing the dude under the bus ... my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamienAzrael Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yes the majority are junk but there are some very good ones out there as well.

DamienAzrael Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I find it funny you keep saying people that only use tube amps leave themselves only one option...Did you ever think some people use more than one tube amp for recordings or live ?....Personally I use 2 different tube amps live....One for clean and one for distortion....No distortion pedal either....So I think that's giving myself options.

DamienAzrael Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 No one has proven me wrong explain yourself Actually....He did prove you wrong....The following is a quote from James Hetfield: "My same old Mesa Boogie amps still work the best. We use a combination of things' date=' like an ADA MP-1 preamp, but the Boogie Simul-Class II is the main part of the sound. It goes through a combination of cabinets: Boogies, which are good for clean, cutting stuff, and Marshalls with 30 watt vintage speakers for warmth. I got really good clean sounds playing Kirk's Tom Anderson strat through a Roland JC120 amp and plugging straight into the desk through an old MXR Dynacomp compressor [Think of the tone on "Nothing Else Matters"-MJF']."

That is not at all what I'm saying. Your limiting your options plane and simple. It's not that difficult really I use a Marshall JMP live one channel and no distortion pedals I go from clean to overdrive using my playing and guitars volume. I don't need anything else but that does not mean I can't use it if it sounds good Once again why would you limit yourself to not even thinking about anything else. for any other purpose.

No...I'm really not....I spent years figuring out what amp works best for me and I've owned quite a few solid state amps over the years....Randalls being the best solid states I've ever used.....But in the end a tube amp sounds rounder, fuller, warmer, and louder....Nobody is right or wrong here....You just gotta use what's good for you.

DamienAzrael Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oh...and here's a few more: Also on hand were a veritable battery of amps, all of which were put to good use. "At one point I had 14 amps going at once...for a clean sound. I wanted to get a variety of clean sounds on this album instead of relying exclusively on the Roland JC-120, which has traditionally been the source of Metallica's clean sound. It was tough going though, because the Roland sounds so good that you want to keep going back to it. But we found some other cool aamps, particularly this little Matchless Spitfire that really kicks *** and an old tweed Fender Twin that's so sharp it'll take your nuts off!" Guitar World, July 1996 http://www.freewebs.com/montyjay/jamesamps.html ....That should give you some good reading material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mick Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 ya and I guess your just an authority aren't you. There are solo's using the JC pre amps but hay If you can't find an artical about it than I guess it just didn't happen. I thought you had better things to do anyway?

DamienAzrael Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I know more than you that is true. Sure you do....Keep believing that....Every comment you make just proves my point...You can't take being wrong....Funny thing is I agreed with you about some solid state amps being good....And when my friend solacematt happened to correct some information you posted you couldn't handle that....So yeah...Unless you're James Hetfield or you work for him your information you claim to have about his gear (with nothing to back up your claims) even after published information from his own mouth is put in front of you proving the crap that comes out of your mouth is wrong means nothing.

I don't have anything to prove that you wouldn't try do disbelieve nor do I need to prove anything. That's the great thing about the internet isn't it ?....And just doing backline doesn't make you an authority....If you were his tech that would make you an authority....I also never said he didn't have that amplifier in his live rig....Nor did I say his rig wasn't extensive.... It's widely known that live his distortion comes from Mesa's, Diezels, and Krank (recently)....I never said he didn't use a Roland....I just stated it was for clean.
