Hi there!
first thread here, just wanted to share with you what gear I'm using and would be happy about some opinions, because its very uncommon, I guess.![I'm New :imnew: :imnew:](/images/smilies/imnew.gif)
Over the years I got this stuff and have a very nice sound for me ever since.
- Epiphone Emily The Strange G-310 or Ibanez SA 120 with D'Addario EXL 158 (picture is showing the Bass of a friend)
- ZOOM G5X (Extreme Distortion, Exciter, Noise Gate and ZNR)
- Behringer Europower PMP530M with 300w as preamp (some very light reverb and EQ concentrates on mids)
- Peavey B 260 Booster (transistor, built 1976 I think, very old, my VU is missing before I had it,)
- Peavey three way speaker ( I disconnected the horn, because of the distortion, using only its 12" and those two little but powerful mid range drivers)
- a cheap Thomann 2-way monitor (powered from behringer so I can decide myself how loud I need to hear myself, depending on location, practice room etc)
Pros:
-My sound is dynamic and brutal imo
-ZOOM G5X allows me to have fun with so many different pedals fx and so on.
-Behringer can have up to 5 instruments at the same time with each a volume-, fx-control +low/high eq. + aux etc
-I can change my monitor volume without dependance on the peavey top.
-old (but gold)
-loud as hell![metalken :mk: :mk:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/26.gif)
Cons:
-It's ugly asf
-autistic tube and analog fetishists think its garbage mostly
-hard to get technical information about the Peavey parts (I've send an Email to Peavey Europe with some pictures and that I'm in lack of information... they said it's so old they have no data about it LOL)![Shrug :shrug: :shrug:](/images/smilies/shrug.gif)
I'm playing death(-core) metal, djent, progressive and mostly groove metal stuff. I'm fully satisfied with my tone. Very agressive, bright, but low smashing sound. Loved the sound of Black Dahlia, Rob Arnold of Chimaira, Gojira and ofc Meshuggah.
Please note that I'm not the richest guy and I really don't want to hear what cheap stuff it is or something. Give me your opinion, constuctive criticism or what I could do better/did horrobly wrong for example.
Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward what you say guys!![Raiiiinbooooow! :dio: :dio:](/images/smilies/dio.gif)
