Judas Priest Panic Attack : what heads are this tone

[Techdeth]

I’ve really fallen in love with this tone . Just curious as to what is used

Axe-FX would be my guess

Richie's been playing Wizards for awhile, (atleast prior to this album). Before that I believe he used Powerball II's. Glenn was using Engls too before he hung it up.

But, with Sneap doing their last few recordings, it's hard to say..

The prepackaged production of modern metal isn't something for me. This doesn't sound like an amp

 

[Mike Oxhuge]

I was able to get similar tones from my Engl Artist on high lead.

 

[DanTravis62]

It sounds like a kemper profile of an engl or wizard or another high end high gain amp.

At least live on this tour it was Wizard MCII for Ritchie and Gower modded Marshalls for Andy. Sounded much rawer live.

I'm pretty sure andy and ritchie are kemper guys not axe fx, but they may have switched idk

My first thought was Kemper as well.

I know Andy has been a kemper guy forever, I can't tell from the clip but it has the soft, pillowy thing that the kemper tends to add to profiles - sounds great either way though

....I can't tell from the clip but it has the soft, pillowy thing that the kemper tends to add to profiles....

Does that mean the clip has Halford's teeth marks in it?

 

[Speeddemon]

but it has the soft, pillowy thing

Yep, this overcompressed chewiness, that lacks the immediate rawness.
Could be (a Sneap) recording technique and could very well be a TS9 into a 5150, but either way, while it sounds pretty good, there are better recorded tones out there. The lead sounds really good tho'.
