volume. Isn’t. The. Reason. 100. Watt. Amps. Are. Used. On. Records.
Read that again before you make your self look any less smart.
You are all over the place with your logic ( or lack there of). Just a few posts ago, you said that the reason they make bigger versions of the amps is all because of marketing, but now you are saying, that it’s NOT marketing when they try to make you believe their 20 watt counterparts sound the same as their big brothers? Do you see why people are slamming you yet, or no?
Also, what kind of once again ASININE assumption is it to say that “most of our favorite tones weren’t in the last 5-10 years ? And that “
The gear today wasn’t there for it”? Just about every metal record that I and many others enjoy here, regardless of how new it is, had gear that’s been around for decades used on it, from the 80s onwards.
Peavey 5150 ( 1991 or 92)
Mesa rectifier ( 1992-1993)
Marshall jcm800 and newer ( 1980)
Diezel amplification ( 1990s)
Mesa mark series ( 1980s)
Modded Marshall’s ( 1980s)
Engl savage ( 1990s)
The majority of tones the last 30 years or so, has been done with those Amps: I’d say upwards of 90%, probably a higher percentage than that.
You know what gear won’t be on any of the biggest metal productions from here on out? Literally any of the amps you listed… I’ll bet my mortgage on it.
