they might do that for newer Canible Corpse, but the older stuff was all Crate g130 full stacks and no pedals.

yep, that's right. it's pat o'brien 's rig, as i said.
up to vile it was all recorded with an old crate amp - some people say they also used the MT2 together with the crate, but that's not certain

besides, their old sound sucks compared to their newer ones [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

SLO 100 or even the hot rod 50.
Granted it may not be exactly what he's looking for but the distortion from these soldanos are top notch and can be very brutal to say the least. Soldanos have some pretty decent combos that are very close at duplicating the power and distortion of the SLO 100.
Once you go Soldano you never go back, everything else pales in comparision. Pricey, but worth it.

Metal Zone is excellent because it has the mid freq. controll. I wish more amps and pedals would have that feature.
