When Kai Hansen left Helloween he returned to his hometown and along with his childhood friend made this record (holy @$%^) :

 
This is quickly becoming one of my fav metal tunes. I dig the tone too, very raw:

 
I think i'm in the wrong forum. You guys are a bunch of hair metal freaks. How about posting some real metal??
 


They’ve been mentioned here before but this is one of my favorite tones, and the entire album is packed with great riffs and solos. Honorable mention to iconoclast on that same album. Gotta pick up a music man or whatever was used on this album soon.
 
Can't say I'm a fan of LOG of Mastodon tones, but each to his own. But I will give them points for the fact that they're not going for the usual boosted 5150 tone everyone is going for! Not that that tone is bad, though! :)

But for me, speaking of 5150:



Those chuggs!

I absolutely love this . My vh4 chsnnel 3 boosted with ts9 actually does this tone well

I actually think the "secret" to that tone is the Krank cab they profiled. AFAIK, it was 16 ohm V30's in there, if Andy Sneap kept the impedance of the original cab. At least to me, that's what it sounds like, and that's where I would think the grind comes from as opposed to the usual 5150 into Mesa cab deal. But that's just me assuming, TBH. I do know it was a Kemper profile of a 5150III into a Krank cab. And that Bill Steer uses Duncan '59's. But that's about all I really know.
