    The definition of brutal

    So I finally get around to buying a power conditioner yesterday so I can hook up the graphic EQ and the BBE 422A to my 5150. I get the whole thing set up and think to myself, what do plug in?
    Answer: Hamer Standard Mahogany. With the Duncan Custom 5 in the bridge, I was all of a sudden a metal riffing god. The bass response, the tight, thick crunchy goodness, it was all there. Harmonics were blazing forth, it was amazing. I couldn't help but rip into some classic metal like Maiden, Sabbath, Ozzy, etc.
    I'm no great soloist. I can accept that. But goddamn I need to find myself a metal band that is looking for a rhythm guitarist.

    Here's a sample.


    By the way, anyone have a decent 4 space rack case for sale?

      Cool
      I would've plugged in the 7 and ripped some Arch Enemy
      or Nevermore riffs
      I love my 5150 too.
      If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?

        Wow, those knobs on the BBE are pretty much all the way up. Isn't that way to much sizzle?

        Nice, I have the same setup. 5150, BBE 422A, and a G-Major. Except now it shares time with my Mesa.



        Damn, I love this Interweb.

          I run my BBE with both knobs on 10. Where can you go from there? They need to make one that will go to 11................

            Yeah, the knobs are pretty much maxed. It's not really all that much "sizzle" to my ears. But, I'm only running the gain at 3-5. With more gain, it gets a little too ridiculous and I could see how the BBE would need to be dimed back some. I still need to play around with it a little, though. Still looking for a killer lead tone to match the amazing rhythm curnch I've discovered.

              Yeah, the 5150 has more gain than anybody will ever use. I usually have mine set between 2 & 3.
