I was listening to Fabulous Disaster the other day and was reminded how I really loved one of the guitar players tone but the other guitar player had what I would describe as 'weird mids' tone. Which guitarist (Holt or Hunolt) had the good tone and which had the weird mids tone? For example, in the AC/DC Overdose cover, the one who starts the song is weird mids tone.

Anybody know what the 'good tone' guy used?

Interestingly though, when both guitars double the same rhythm it sounds awesome (like in Overdose when they both start playing the main rhythm).

IMO,Gary Holt has always had great tone. Langner modded 800s early on. Later it was the XXX then ENGLs,usually tweaked with an eq.
 
Gary Holt's Langner modded Marshall's had a very scooped mid tone, kinda similar to "and justice for all" or Dimebags tone with a little more meat to it. I'm not sure of the amps/settings Rick H. used tho.
 
Didn't one of the guys from Exodus used to hang around here?

I agree with this :yes:

Fabulous Disaster is classic thrash tone right there :D

Gonna see Gary play with Slayer here next month. Seen him play with Slayer a few times now;he does a good job there.
R.I.P Jeff Hope your tearin it the fuck up in the afterlife :rock:
 
I don't know what you mean by "weird mids", but it sounds like what your describing there in that intro is simply scooped mids.

That's it. And Overdose was probably a bad example because that song sounds a little different.
And +1M about Jeff. :rock:
 
Yeah, Exodus during that late 80's early had some scooped mids like many other thrashers, but to me it doesn't seem like their tones were near as scooped say like they were on "And Justice For All". As much as I love that album, its scoop city right there.
