For what it’s worth, ascendancy was a 5150 and a recto, not just a 5150. But I think the main tone was a 5150 through a krank cab.
Heartwork, clayman, anything out of studio fredman, black dahlia murder. Ironically though, every one of these records had some weird/out there techniques to get those tones. Heartwork and the frankencab, clayman with a Laney head and a Marshall valvestate blended in, black dahlia and the parallel EQing done under the main tone etc.
Oh, and for the “im a bullshitter” crowd lol
