That whole album was killer...Scott is a monster.

I am also a die hard tube guy, since my first Peavey Classic 2x12 combo back in 1982. I have both the AX8 and just a few months ago got the FM9. A lot of the patches right out of the box don't need much more than what you would do spinning knobs on a head...I sold my rack stuff and I'm almost...

Love the jam!...Ultra for my taste..although the REV Blue has a sound that maybe fits more doomy than deathy groove like this song genre....seems like the TJ is waaay too boomy..

I thought it sounded best through the Soldano..had more bite and edge to it.

My favorites as of the moment...The older Petrucci Trinity and the newer JP Jazz III...generally at least 1.35 mm or more thick..and the Jazz or Jazz III sizes. Was using the 1.5MM Black Ice Planet Waves, but holding onto them when any moisture was invovled was a challenge.

Nice n juicy with some grind.

It's a bit cookie cutter-ish...derivative of today, but the singer has a set of pipes and I did like the guitar solo...good vibrato.

Ola is such a benefit to us all in the metal community.. I dug him from the start testing Bootique/High End amps in the way we wanted to hear them. The way he created a living doing what we all love to do is just inspiring. I bought a Solar guitar and appreciate the value his company is...

Somewhat warmer mid focused..Clarity without harshness...Girth without bloat...Maybe somewhere in the 11-13k range..I lprefer Alnico 5...can be tight but still have warmth.

I sold a ton of gear after I got the FM9...the versatility and portability of it just trumps the minor differences of a real amp feel and tone. It is so close it is not enough to make me feel like a tube head is the only way any more. I still have my Fireball 100 and do love it..but the FM9 is...

That is fucking brutal.

You might try some Eminence Governors.

Original Block letter with bias mod used for $500....Mint Engl Fireball 100 for $1k.. And just for reference..brand new in 1982 Gibson Explorer Pearlized white finish..gold hardware ebony board Dirty Finger pups...$799.

Bet it sounds good...The old Metaltronix amps that Gilbert used back in the day sounded good.

In these examples..I prefer the unboosted..but I did like the grindy mids the TS9 added....it was a bit harsher and didn't have the same girth.. OD1X just seemed to lose a touch of upper mid focus..and did clean up the overall low end a bit. I have a Fireball 100, as we all know, only tards...

I have one of those too..liked it..especially the grip, but it did wear fast.

I like the Jazz or Jazz III size..mostly Tortex or Nylon...I like the feel of the Ultem (Ultex), but for some reason it seems to add more pick noise to the notes. I've also recently been liking the triple tip triangular Petrucci one that comes in the multi-pack too.

The Wiz holds it's own...really like the open raw but tight and gritty tone. I'd use any one of them..

Everything sounds great Race!
