No drug related questions, don't worry! Question your custom MATAMP, anything different about it compaired to the main designs? Why MATAMP. How much does the demonizer influence the sound, or do you reply on that just for lead?

All amps are a bit different, but most have a similar set up, a pre amp and a power amp. Generally most of the sound shaping is done at the pre amp stage with the power amp providing the volume. However power amps when pushed give a great powerfull driven sound, hard to describe unless you...

Ive always been seeking the same sounds just for my own fun really. Katatonia use MATAMPS, basically classic hand wired orange amps and the sound they get is from that. The lead tones and effects are from the Boss GT effects pedals which can sound crap through a cheap amp. I've finally...

anyway Blakkheim I still haven't had a peak out of you, i trust you remain somewhat resiliant of a reply, come on please just one thought, its valued just as much after the others. (in fact i value too much!!) Thanks!

wow.. i'm blown away, thanks so much, i'm thrilled i got such a response, from a forum that loves what i love, you've made my day! :OMG:

wow cheers, i never really realised how much they had influenced me.. I guess its the fact that I bought the AKG mic, and the GT-8 oh and recently i added an e-bow to my collection doesn't help.. Anyway glad you like it! Oh and I know that Anders flirts around on these forums...

Ok I've been listening to Katatonia for as long as I remember, heavily and I have been influenced in various odd ways.. so i was wondering if any of you lot want to listen to a few of my songs. Please listen to Pain Within first as its bascially the newest one, and Deep Within Me is...

If you like the old Dance of December souls you really should listen to Opeth if you haven't already, I am not a big fan but a lot of Opeth can be heard in the early Katatonia stuff. Oh and for god sake buy The Great Cold Distance, its not my favourite album that would be Discouraged...

What sort of level playing is Jonas at on guitar? My gosh, he probably does the whole thing, then teachers it to you guys doesn't he!! (just kidding, save the katatonic needle for your own quiet nites in!!)

Awsome DVD, some were a bit annoyed by its design, but i was so chuffed to get it in the box set, Anathema released theres as a DVD. Fav tracks for me, Tonights music, Deadhouse

fucking discusting, the album should remain out of this "song survivor" game its one amazing piece of art.. I personally find the whole thing amazing!!

Andersl, ive always been a real pussy for greeting katatonia at any of the gigs (hey anders know who i am yet.... doubt it, always at your UK gigs.. clue:in 2006 I was outside your bus in Bradford RIO, and said "alright".. hey come on your a great guitarest who inspires me its difficult ok...

Oh right, my appologies Anders! I really look fowared to hearing that. Must be loads of work involved with that, I bought a boss GT-8 recently and I got one of those AKG solidtubes (used on Jonas's voice) to try to polish up my sound a bit more, but getting close is a bit of a challenge.

Just in case I don't get to say it, Merry Christmas all! and just to say: I've loved this band for the last 5 years, ever since I got TD, they have shapped the way I view music as well as my life, they support many important memories when I was doing a Music Tech Degree (very stoned) I've...
