Fortin NATAS vs Randall Satan

what are you talking about, Endrik? Haven't you seen concert pics of the boys in Trivium? They pull all the right faces.

All you have to do is scoop the mids, make the amp super high gain with tons of bottom and you can call it anything from Satan to Lucifer.

With regards to the video you said the guy played 10 amps in a row or whatever and they all sounded the same. People tend to dial in what they like. So it is kind of pointless having one guy that plays one style, you are right.
Unless they are a studio guy or someone who plays a lot of styles and knows how to dial in all these different sounds for different styles. But for fans of whatever certain style they are most likely trying to find the amp that does what they like "the best".

I've never really got the tone chasing thing too much, but i'm not a person that is multi dimensional like that , or in a cover band that maybe you need a zillion tones.
I like what i like and once i find it, i'm good. I think for the most part, on recordings where in the case of rock or metal, the guitarist walks into the studio with his trusty 5150, or Marshall or whatever and cranks the dials how he wants them, and then it takes a lot of persuading by the guy behind the desk to get them to try something different, something the guitar player would never think to try on his own.

I'm sure a ton of songs out there with soft acoustic tones and layers behind an arrangement were a products of the producer saying hey why don't you try this? Cause for the most part hard rocker/metal heads are pretty one dimensional...turn it the fuck up Whoever said it "clean tones are for pussies" I had to lol at that because as a comedic antidote it's so true. After one becomes more seasoned in the studio or with recording albums they start to get it, and get a sense of trying out new things, but for the most part when demoing an amp am i alone in saying i want to hear it on fire?

Oh and about the amp - i listened to the first 30 seconds of the first vid, but it's too late to crank it up and listen to it all. I wasn't blown away right off though, sounded like.. any amp thus far.

Oh..what blasphemy!!!

Why not call it Jesus...or Mormon...from the planet...Kolob!!???

or..Allah

Buddah..already has one...that fat fuck!!

I'm with Endy..No matter where I have my gain. I play so hard..my pick attack is immense. I break bass strings. Kolobian bass strings. Made of ancient Gold full of wonderment, visions and prophecies during the 1830's in Western New York.

I'm with Endrik and Bill too; i decimate guitar strings mercilessly. The tone comes first and foremost from your fingers and picking. My picking is very aggressive and percussive. If your down-picking doesn't shift the Earth off its axis, if your tremelo picking doesn't sound like a chainsaw chewing through a human femur, if your vibrato doesn't destroy people's lives, no matter what amount of gain you use, your tone will still sound weak and limp.

Haha...that's it. I play like I want to sodomize everyone's face. With prolapsed mouths spewing blood, bile and semen. Leaving strong, defiant men in fetal positions. Skeleton battle warriors sown from teeth of the Hydra. That is metal !

If you do not play with such fortitude...take viagra and jack it twice.

[Endrik]

I gave Tommy a real headache when I played at his house with his metal picks. After a couple of minutes the picks looked like young moon. I guess my natural attack is at least fff.

[Devotee]

Yeah man, so fucking heavy!
