    No love for FENDER amps or cabs?

    I Love my Fender 800Pro! Its extremely loud and clean sounding and definately delivers huge low end. I can easily keep up with both guitarists (mesa triple rec & peavey5150 tube half-stacks) in my metal band. If I want to add some tube grind I dirty it up with my Sansamp. Honestly I couldnt...

    Show your Rigs of Doom! (Part 2)

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Here's a bit of my doom. The Fender800Pro is so pant-wettingly loud its scary...and with the RBI im in heaven. GAS is gone, for now.

    Metal Growl using a Sansamp

    I play a Spector Euro 4. Like i said, it is close. Im just trying to figure out which dial has the most significant effect on the growl. Basically I want my tone to growl without sounding like "fuzz".

    Metal Growl using a Sansamp

    Awesome, I'm glad its capable of that kind of sound. I have it close but just not quite there. I know its possible though. Any recomendations for how you have it set to acheive that growl.

    Metal Growl using a Sansamp

    I recently bought a Sansamp RBI and am really impressed with how versatile it is. I am using it as a preamp through my Fender800Pro into an Ampeg 810. However, I am after a really tight metal growl similar to Alex Webster of Cannibal Corpse and am having a little trouble finding it. So...

    Fender 800 Pro

    Well I got my amp last week, and after practicing several times with a full band the Fender 800 pro has more than proved itself. I've tweaked it and really found the tone I'm looking for. Its very clean(which i actually prefer) and also extremely thick and has tons of thumping power. At around...

    Fender 800 Pro

    Thanks for all the info, i just purchased one on ebay for $500 virtually brand new! This should be quite an upgrade from my Ampeg b2re. I do love the little ampeg's tone, but it just doesnt have the power my band needs. I'll post again when i get the 800Pro with my opinions on how it sounds...

    Fender 800 Pro

    I am looking into purchasing a Fender 800 pro and want to know if anyone has any experience or knowledge about how good they are regarding overall volume and tone. I cant seem to find any in local stores to try out, So im going to trust you guys. I know Fender took over Sunn amps a few years...

    SVT 810E or GenzBenz 610T-XB2?

    I've played through an ampeg svt810E and loved the tone and everything. Has anyone had any experience with the genzbenz 610? It has a sensitivity rating of 105db. Would this make it significantly louder than the svt810's 100db rating? Im looking to get a new cab and want to make the right...

    B2RE as preamp?

    Can the ampeg b2re be used simply as a preamp? I heard somewhere this was possible. If so how would you hook it up?

    Sunn 1200S?

    Does anyone have any experience with or can give any input about this amp? I was thinking about getting one. Would it be good to pair with an Ampeg 810? An SVT810 says 800w RMS, could that handle this amp?

    OHMS!

    I have some ohm questions i'd really like cleared up. I own an Ampeg B2RE which opperates at 450w at a 4ohm load. I run it into the 4ohm SVT 410HLF. Is it possible to also run an 8ohm 115 cabinet without blowing the amp? I realize this would lower the overall ohm load to 2.6ohms and im...

    8x10 or 4x10 and 1x15?

    Yeah I'm actually in the same boat here as you. Except im using the b2re instead of the SVT 3 pro. I am also contemplating getting the fridge, however two 410 cabs or a 410 & 115 would be easier to load. The question i have is basically the same as yours...will the two 8ohm cabs be the...

    Ampeg B2RE or SVT3Pro?

    Thanks for all the input! From all the responses it seems like the SVT3Pro just isnt for me. However, cab wise, would two 8ohm 410 cabinets(or a 410 & 115) be the equivalent to the power/volume of my 4ohm 410HLF and perhaps be a better fit for the B2RE? Or would they be more like having a...

    Ampeg B2RE or SVT3Pro?

    Thanks for the info, i was definitely leaning in that direction. It seems more logical, and I could always get a tube preamp in the future if i really want the extra tone.
