Beefing it up :B

01-05-2013, 11:30 PM	#1
JoeyDoomRiff666 Registered User Join Date: Dec 2012	Beefing it up :B In my first thread, I asked what amps would be good for doom and sludge. I probably shouldve mentioned that my band is like a mix of H.I.M. and Melvins. I traded my 42 inch plasma flat screen for my rhythm guitarists Orange TH30, ZVex Fuzz Factory and a two dimesacks. I might get a BuddaSD80 Head though. I was wondering what I could do to give my tone that extra beefy kick I want. I changed my rig a little too. And by all means, share your rigs. Maybe you could influence me ^-^ Thanks!

The guitarist of HIM uses Marshalls and Laney VH100Rs to record. But a lot of that beef probably comes from a fuzz pedal.

I play in a Prog-metal band that has some sludge/doom influenc and I use a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100. Also look at the Krank Chadwick amps you can get them for <$600 I think they are good for what your doing. Laney GH50/100/100TI are nice Laney AOR is like one of the best Sludge amps out there Sleep uses them and they go cheap used __________________ 2002 PRS CE22 197?

I see your using a Tube screamer, Maybe try something like the Hardwire CM-2 or Digitech bad Monkey. They have bass and Treble knobs so you can dial in the tone better. I use a Bad Monkey with my DSL100 and it deff fattens up the tone.

I like the TH30, but the EL84 tubes are not going to get as fat of a tone as a bigger tube like EL34/6l6/KT88

If it lets out a loud pop walk away - unless you are capable of replacing tube sockets or it's cheap enough that paying somebody else to do it will still bring it in within budget. __________________ Gilchrist custom guitar Yamaha SBG500 Telecaster Ibanez Iceman Roland GP-8 Quadraverb Abbey Harmonic II Marshall JTM45 clone Marshall JCM900 4102 (modded) Marshall 18W clone Fender 5F1 Champ clone Marshall 1960A Cathbard Amplification

JoeyDoomRiff666 Registered User Join Date: Dec 2012	Robbgnarly, I think your on to something. Thats a great idea and I honestly never would've guessed about the tubes. I'm gonna have to switch out the EL84s for KT88s. And I'll check out that bad monkey :p Last edited by JoeyDoomRiff666 : 01-07-2013 at 12:26 AM.

NO PLEASE DONT.
Your amp is made to only accept EL84 tubes only you can not fit KT88 tubes or any other type of tube in it.

Cathbard Grumpy Old Tech Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Australia	Hitting things is a time honoured fault finding technique. The alternative is to get into the back of it and wiggle things about. You aren't going to be doing that in a shop so the only option available is to give it a thump on the outside. If the douche in the shop complains just say, "If it can't take that then it's faulty. What are you trying to hide? Are you trying to sell me a faulty amp?" __________________ Gilchrist custom guitar Yamaha SBG500 Telecaster Ibanez Iceman Roland GP-8 Quadraverb Abbey Harmonic II Marshall JTM45 clone Marshall JCM900 4102 (modded) Marshall 18W clone Fender 5F1 Champ clone Marshall 1960A Cathbard Amplification
