New Amp today

[toejam]

what you mean to say is Opeth's GT-8 tone. the laney is just their power amp.

They upgraded from the GT-6 to the GT-8?

Pretty sure they are still using the GT6s, at least last time I saw them they were and that was in ....February?

Opeth's Laney tone?

Who???

We all know there is only ONE British tone......

Can it get it?

Can it achieve the ultimate?

It is a little lighter than black....a popular color in the '70s.....

CAN SHE GET BROWN, MY MAN???

That is the question.

Definitely checking this out.
I've been looking for a low power tube amp that actualy sounds good.
And damn those prices are cheap!

Wow, I didn't know Opeth used the GT-6. They do have very good tone. No wonder... they are using a modeler.
Are there any Opeth downloadable patches online??

JG, here's an interesting thread about settings for Opeth

It sounds like it's great, and reasonbly priced as well. How much gain does it have when you crank it up?

Think 80's MSG era Schenker. This isn't a high gain monster, more like a 70's early 80's blues rock/hard rock sorta thing. It has plenty of distortion for me. More importantly, it has the most control of the gain I have ever experienced in an amp. The 2 seperate gain controls make dialing in the exact amount super simple.

Hahaha, ok, let me qualify that statement a bit more. I am a 70's/80's hard rock kinda guy. This amp will do the british tone ala Vox, Marshall, etc.. from the 60's thru the 80's. If you are looking for hardcore modern metal, this aint the amp for you. I can get a respectable Maiden or Priest sound without throwing a pedal on it, but that's as far as I would go. It wouldn't do "Painkiller" for example, but nails that "Stained Class" tone.

Think "Take Your Whiskey Home"....that is what I want....a Snickers bar. Brown I can chew...brown that is so thick you have to take a dump after you hear it.

They're STILL both using GT-6s. I can provide pictures if you like as I just saw them two weeks ago...three times in fact.

Interestingly they were using Marshalls in New Zealand, Laney (VH100Rs) gear in Australia.

BTW, that little amp looks awesome.
