Frank Gambale, s.s. amp user din. On his recordings and live performances he uses ss amps.

yeah i read in a mag that he's annoyed by the snobs who think that SS sucks. yung sa article lumalabas na, to him, tubes are a step back because they're ancient in terms of technology.

he uses a carvin SS preamp by the way

- Greg Ginn of Black Flag used SS amps and hated tube based amps because tube amps didn't sound aggressive enough for him.

I was going to throw out that name into the open as well.

Talaga?? I could almost swear he uses a tube amp after Jay Leno's monologue. Thick fat tone..

I thought i'd share...

I let go my Fender Hotrod few months ago. I've been so used to the tube tone, having have used JCMs and twins and AC30's and a couple others in gigs and recordings, so I still keep looking for one somehow - the yearning is there. Pero whenever I hear players like these cats, it makes me want to venture the SS realm somehow.

So I bought a Roland microcube (with amp sims) rightafter and although it was ok, it didn't sound as delicate as a tube amp, IMHO it lacks the subtle nuances that tube amps have.

Now I'm with a Roland JC120... I've been with it for quite a little while palang naman. I think it sounds considerable AND very different than the tube tone we know. Pero the main thing I guess is that it has a sound its own...and it's a sound whose overlooked beauty is worth discovering. Kaso andaming factors to obtain an objectively decent tone... lalo na yung tipong tunog that connects to you artistically - guitar/pedal/amp 'compatibility, amp's flexibility with genres, amps response with your techniques....i could go on.

I think I'm up to take this tonal direction (in the meantime atleast) and see what I can come up with.

I think i'm at the point where I've gotten over the traditional tonal pedagogy... wanting to to try something different instead.

I dunno, wala lang, I'm just pondering I guess.

Speaking of Kings, BB King uses a Lab Series 2x12 solid state.

Yan ba yung ginamit nya sa The Thrill is Gone? I soooo dig that tone!

Yung sa recent collab kasi nila ni Clapton very fender-ish tunog nya dun eh. And it sounds too 'accurate', perhaps a little hi-fi-ish (it should be the nature of the album's production). Didn't love it as much as his Thrill is Gone record.

this is like a SS amp appreciation thread already!

Not sure, he uses Fenders din AFAIK. Love his tone din sa Thrill is gone.

Reb Beach? Actaully he uses a Hartke Bass Amp head. Only for his clean sounds.hehehe

Yeah, Reb's tone is great.

Another great SS tone I like is Dimebag's, before he switched to Krank tube amps. Damn! I like that tone in Cemetery Gates.

never knew so many philmu members apreciates ss amps

a lot of people i know prefer tubes and when i heard one i too fell in love

but dimebag darrels tone was amazing but specially in floods and cemetery gates

some of his solo tones sound too digital to me IMO

turiguiliano · « **Reply #46 on:** October 16, 2009, 10:18:16 PM »

Marshall 8040. Under rated goodness. When I do get Weber for distribution, I'm gonna change the speaker, speaker cable will be Vovox.

probably because of his korg multi-effects.

though I like dimebag's guitar playing, i never liked his tone.

Ty Tabor used a solid state Gibson
when he was in King's X and
Dimabag Darrell used a solid state Randall
when he was in Pantera..

Dimebag used Krank just before his death....
