Do jcm800's come with no master volumes?? Didn't know that, I thought they all had master volumes?? I'm not very informed when it comes to Marshall's.

Randall Titan and X2

He used the Randall Titan and Randall Warhead X2 with Damageplan. The Century 200 rig was just for use with Pantera I believe?? he wanted a different tone for Damageplan.

Try the SD SH-5 Custom, the original one with the ceramic mag, sounds killer and is little lower output than the JB. More focused and balanced sound.

Ya, I believe he used the Rockman for the majority of his leads, if not all of them. Not sure about Mustaine's leads though??

I would have been happy had I gotten some VDOP or AIC - Dirt tones out of it, but it just couldn't, there's something in the mids that makes III's sound kinda dated, like the Whitesnake 1987 album, that's what it sounds like, and ironically my red stripe was made in 1987.

Looks like Randall may be out of the game.

They used the Rockman for overdubs and solos, but not all of the solos. The main rhythms and some leads were done with Marshall's rented from Mike Soldano. With the Rockman it was either into a Marshall, Fender twin or straight to the board.

Ya I agree, III's are a bit on the harsh side. You can't dial in enough treble and upper mids without it getting harsh at band volumes, that was another issue I had with mine. The IV is a better sounding amp IMO... and of course the IIC+ is THE Mark series to get.

Ya dude, the only track I skip on that album is "I ain't superstitous". Every other track is great IMO.

Master of vibrato on bends too, that's how he gets that unique sound that you can always Identify as him. Loved his solo on Lamb Of God's "purify".

His outro solo in Wake Up Dead is pretty cool, buit I agree, Chris Poland's solos are cooler, he's got a very unique style.

Ya, but "in my darkest hour" is a strong track, same for "hook In mouth"

I LOVE Peace Sells. "wake up dead" is great, every riff is different, no repeats. Very cool for a track that got some airplay on MTV. "the conjuring" is another fav of mine off that album... evil as fuck.

That's one of the reasons why I prefer the IV over the III. The red stripe III I had was hair metal in a box, very 80's sounding, it was extremely difficult to get something more 90's or 00's sounding out of that amp so I sold it and got the IV and am pretty happy I made that choice.

I don't really like the SD-1 with my IV. I prefer my OD808, cuts less low end and is less noisy.

I had a Red Stripe simulclass Mark III for many years, it was a great amp. Definitely raw and pissed off. I kinda miss it sometimes. The red stripe as you know is closest to the IIC+ of all the stripes.

A cheaper alternative to a Bogner straight cab would be an Avatar Vintage 412, they are very similar in looks and construction and sound really good.

Really, I've never played a Mesa that didn't have decent bite to it, but I do agree that it can be hard to tame the lower mids sometimes in some of them.

I saw that too. He was very critical of Randall, calling him just an "engineer" and the frequencies chosen were not what is written on the amp, which is true. They're actually something like this (centered around) 87.61hz, 371.74hz, 723.43hz, 1575.87hz, 4822.88hz, some of them are WAY off...
