Good amp for 7 string death metal?

[horns666]

Ubershall yeah, a friend of mine recorded their demo on one and he told me it wasn't as dirty sounding as his Randall V-Max, but i'm not after that sound either.
They have one at my local guitar shop so i'll definately try one out. I heard there are 2 versions of it, one with a blue lamp and without. Which one is best, or do they sound about the same?

No real "sonic" difference that I know..PM me just before you try the Uber for straight amp EQ setting.."suggestions"..

try a cab W celestion 90's or EV's

OK Nick and Steve, I'll do it...mink ya!

Uberschall..

why you guys make me say that word so much..I was trying to hold back..dammit.

Yeah... you said it so much, I went out and got one a couple of weeks ago. That thing is crushing. And just so that this is relative to this forum, I play a 7 string w/ EMG's into a Bogner Uberschall into a Oversized 4X12 Rectocab using a Rane 5 band parametric in the loop. No boosting necessary. The thing moves internal organs and it is not a sloppy gain amp.

The absolute cool thing about the Überschall is that although it's got gain and low end from here to heaven (hell) it's also very well-defined.
That's one thing where i think the Überschall really outshines the rectifier. The rectifier got a awesome sound but it's definitely a bit muddy in the lows.

This amp easily gets my vote as the gift from heaven (hell) to all the extreme metal guitar players. It's just so bloody expensive here. It's well over $4k, if not i would own one. I played one for 10 minutes in a music store and told myself to walk away very fast or else i would get into serious trouble with my wallet.

I like my Engl Savage 120 because of its clarity and tightness for the lower tunings but an uberschall or a 5150 will rip too. Listen to Mercenary (uberschall and ibanez 7 string) or older arch enemy (5150 with detuned standard 6 string guitar).

Fuck yeah nate!!!

Flo, comparing a Recto to a Uberschall...is like comparing Jessica Alba to Courtney Love..

Might want to swap those around, Bill... unless you have a thing for Courtney. :ROTF:

Jeebus..good catch there Pete..Thanks for watching my back!!:ROTF:

OK..ahemm...

Comparing a Recto to a Uberschall is like comparing Courtney Love to Jessica Alba..

another analogy..

Comparing a Recto to a Uberschall is like comparing a Chevette to a Corvette!!!

I know this..because I had a Recto, Uberschall, Chevette and Corvette..and I'm smart, and stuff.

just cause you use low tuning doesn't mean you have to use low end sound, try turning up the mids and turning down the bass, bass will naturally come with volume. Try upping the mids and you may be surprised how much more you'll cut through the mix

+1.

What sounds bollock-crushingly hard when you stand there making chugging noises on your own, just sounds like a whirlpool in shit slurry-pit when you are playing together. Don't compete with the bass guitar, that's why you have him (or maybe it's because he owns the van). And play slower!
Better still, if you are playing at the speed of diahorrea, re-tune it back up to something sensible, to the spectrum guitars were made to sound the best at! (Yeah, I'm an old fart, music wuz better when it had a tune etc etc)

VHT is good as is an ENGL Powerball or SE or Invader,
and I agree turn up the mids a bit it works wonders.

+1 on the VHT AND Engl stuff. My buddy Rob has a Pitbull that sounds pretty ballsy. The Powerball can be found fairly reasonably used and they are workhorses. The Fireball is a great head too, and runs about the same as a 6505+. I think the Fireball is much more articulate than the 6505 with a bit smoother gain. There's also the Engl Blackmore.

Eric_Kv2 - good call on the Savage - it's sometimes underrated for Death metal but for low tunings due to it's cutting mids it's very good.

There was a dude locally that was playing an Ibanez 7 string through a VHT Pitbull... It sounded amazing. Probably one of the best live tones I've ever heard.

+1 on the VHT if you can afford it!

Tell nick he should've stuck with his triple x in stead of that randall

for me personally, I love my triple rectumfier and I play death metal on a ke-7 through that thing... sounds great to me
