I think the Stairway solo was recorded with a Tele and a Marshall super lead (modified with KT66 valves). At least that's what I read in an interview... :)

It was the tele into the supro.

1 - Decapitated - Nihility,
2 - Carcass - Heartwork
3 - October Tide - Grey Dawn

These are my top distortions EVER
i know that they mainly uses EMG 81 in the bridge.. D and B tunings and Mesa boogie dual and triple rectfier Amps.

Heartwork definately has awesome metal tone on it. As do most Kreator songs.

Carlos Santana on the very first ''Santana'' album is one of my faves right now......LISTEN TO THAT RHYTHM TONE!!!!!!! :o

I know it's not exactly a secret how he got that sound, but I just saw a 'favourite tones' thread and had to post this!

I think tone always makes sense in the context of a mix only. You can have a massive tone that makes you come and the you listen to it recorded in song context and spend hours and hours EQing to make it work.

And then you can listen to a band with a super gorgeus guitar tone, but when you listen to the guitar without the drums and bass and maybe keys, it sounds thin or boring or ...

Personally, I think amps on 5 sound better in song context than amps on 10, but that's mainly related to my experience with the UniValve, which is class A and single ended, I have unfortunately never heard the Engl beyond 3.5 :(

I agree; although mostly because I find it hard to control the noise from my amp beyond a certain level, meaning feedback and noise, or me losing concentration on my playing in order to stop said feedback - either way, not an ideal situation for myself!

That is one of my favourite Death Metal albums, love the tone on it. I also have to put down Meshuggah as one of my favourite tones, oh so very tight.

I know what you mean there. Alot of tones sound thin when by themselves but in a band they sound really good. This is why I hate bassy amps :shock:

WFD - Extreme Aggressions is a GREAT album, I need to dig that one out, I remember when that came out (I still have my original vinyl copy)

I keep hearing about this band called 'Meshuggah' but I've never checked them out. I see from their website that they've been going for a good few years - what is their most brutal album?

oh, for favourite tones I'd be hard pushed to beat these...

* anything off the last Slayer record (God Hates Us All)
* Leper Messiah
* Harvester Of Sorrow
* Shoot To Thrill
* Bulls On Parade

:twisted:

They are kinda fusion Thrash Metal....
i would call they have their own style. but they started as a death metal, and then, turned into thrash, and them, fusion metal.
Get the DESTROY ERASE IMPROVE ALBUM
a track called : Future Breed Machine

It was the tele into the supro.

And what a tone it was, that '58 tele and the Supro made some magic sounds in Mr Page's hands. I love how he managed to thicken it up with delay, and the plethora of sounds available from such a simple guitar... the only bit of Led Zep I that still eludes me is the lead tone on "You Shook Me", but I've almost got it sussed, almost...

Danny Gatton sounded pretty good to my ears, there was a bright snappy snarl, but it was still really ballsy.

I also dig Roy Buchanan's tone quite a bit, again more telecasterness. Seeing a pattern? :lol:

That said, I really think Clapton's "woman tone" was the mutts nuts. A guitar that can do all of the above is my holy grail, and I reckon I'll be damn close to it in a couple of months when I sort out a new Warmoth body and a new neck pickup. 8)
