What amp for the tone in my head.

[metalmaniac93]

This video has the closest approximation of the dirty guitar tone I am looking for.

What modern high-gain tone monster amp will give me this, or the closest to it ?

That's a nice clip Steve! Very close to that XYZ tone. I'm looking forward to seeing your run through demo of the Bomb.

That Cherry bomb sounds awesome !!

I can get pretty close to that tone with my 2204 and boost/EQ pedal combination up front.

I actually got closer to that tone with pedals through a stock (not gain modded) Marshall than some of the modded Marshall's I've had.

Thuis, That tone is much more pedal into the front of a Marshall. A modded Marshall is a different beast than that unless it is minimally tweaked.

Was that the plexi or 800 side of 'da Bomb ?

It's the ROD channel.

[Badronald]

the Cherry Bomb sounds great, the amp in the video. HORRIBLE>

Agreed. Do NOT like that tone. Never did.

Haven't listened to that cheesy pop rock since.....well, like '88.

Sorry, I wasn't wearing my glasses. I just assumed it said 800...my mistake. Cool sounding amp. Where was the gain set ?

NP! From Curt:

"Using my '84 Charvel Custom Shop with a Duncan Custom in the bridge. First little noodling part is with the vol knob on guitar turned down to about 60%. I bring it all the way up when the riff kicks in. I just used an old SM57 on a Celestion G12H30 about an inch off the grill and right about the edge of the dust cover."

Ah Crap!!! I cranked the hell outta XYZ as a younger player. I love their first commercial release. I realize I'm not answering the OP, however, HAD to chime in when I saw it was an XYZ video. I think the lead tone is really good, but the rhythm does have that 80's shredder tone I've come to cringe at. Keep in mind this is a mixed & mastered recording. Having cranked ADA's into heads and amps for years, I know it'd get this tone in a heartbeat. Wish I never sold my ADA MP-1.

Always loved the tones of this tune, as well: Follow The Night

BTW…that Henning amp is godly sounding. F!

Seriously bro, you are a monster player IMO. If I needed a "better" Marshall sound, I would totally get an amp from you. As to the OP, I think any old single channel Marshall with an OD will get you close enough that your ability should be able to get you the rest of the way there. Having said that, buy a Henning!

Edited to give props to Chubtone. My reading skills are the crap right now lol! Yeah man a Cherry Bomb Rod channel paired with a higher gain/more modern thing going on would be the shizznit!

This exactly. Just a good sounding 800 with a boost..nice upper mid bite!

Well… I'm no Curt, but I'm no slouch either…

Here's my quick take at that tone using an '83 2204 with no gain mods (does have an effects loop added).

Stacked a Boss SD-1 and Boss EQ up front for that midrange.

SM57/Greenback straight into pc, no post production.

For the win.. with a bit of EQ tweaking at the board for the raw track to bring the top end in a tad more and you've got it. Good ol JCM800 with a boost and some EQ wins again! Obviously the cherry bomb is bitchin too but the tone to me is 800. (So maybe the cherry bomb on channel one with a boost)
